Amber Rose scared us with lightning bolt ink that made her look like a female Mike Tyson. Fortunately, the mark was just temporary make-up. We suggest more stars follow her example and give their tattoos a trial run first. Body art may be a form of expression, but sometimes we don't even know what people were thinking when they got inked. From the name of an ex to a "suck it" lip tattoo, stars are always finding new ways to screw up a tattoo. Our list of 30 Celebrity Women Tattoo Fails includes some of the worst tats we've ever seen. Some things really should not be in permanent ink.

Lindsey Lohan
Lindsey Lohan
This tattoo is two red triangles with the words "What Dreams May Come" underneath. The words are a quote from Hamlet, and the triangles are supposed to represent her deep bond with Liam McMullan. Too bad the relationship, and not the tattoo, wasn't meant to last forever.

Was Britney's matching dice tattoo with Kevin Federline a sign that chances were the relationship wasn't going to last?

This strange fish lives on Theron's ankle... We're glad it's not somewhere more prominent.

Audrina Patridge
This tat combines a heart, a strawberry, and a snake. Unfortunately, we don't see the connection.

Miley Cyrus
Miley Cyrus
Miley's "LOVE" tattoo doesn't exactly fit with her new bad-girl image. Then again, we weren't crazy about the tat when she was Hannah Montana.
Nicole Richie
Nicole Richie
If we didn't already suspect that Nicole Richie wasn't a virgin, her children really make this tattoo ridiculous.

Pamela Anderson
Pamela Anderson
Perhaps the queen of terrible tattoos, Pam not only has a barbed wire wrapped around her arm, but she also has the word "Mommy" around her ring finger where "Tommy" used to be.
Kate Gosselin
Kate Gosselin
Until we realized that Winnie the Pooh was permanent, we assumed she borrowed a temporary tattoo from one of her eight children.

Eva Longoria
Eva Longoria
After she found out that her husband, NBA player Tony Parker, was cheating on her, Eva erased his jersey number from her neck.

Rihanna
Rihanna
On top of the 2Pac-inspired "Thug Life" tattoo across her knuckles, Rihanna also has "rebelle fleur" inked on her neck. Unfortunately, instead of reading "rebel flower" as intended, the tattoo actually means "flower rebel."
Megan Fox
Megan Fox
Megan Fox got her Marilyn Monroe tattoo removed because she said it brought her "negative energy." Good call.

Melanie Griffith
Melanie Griffith
If they ever break up, Melanie will have a hard time covering up that "Antonio" tattoo.

Jamie King
Jamie King
Jamie King claims that she got all of her tattoos because of teenage angst, which makes sense since it looks like one of her high school friends did an afterschool stick 'n poke job for this one.
Cher
Cher
Cher claims that she got most of her tats back when "only bad girls did it." She's probably the only person we know who gets nostalgic when she sees her ass.
Angelina Jolie
Angelina Jolie
Before Angelina tatted the latitude and longitude of where her kids were born on her body, she had "Billy Bob" and a dragon stamped across her arm. Jolie got this tattoo when she was still at the pinnacle of her "Sexiest Woman Alive" phase, and it was almost enough to rob her of her title. Almost.

Christina Aguilera
Christina Aguilera
It's always a bad idea to tattoo your partner's initials on yourself, but it's a million times worse as a tramp stamp.
Jenna Jameson
Jenna Jameson
It would be a more powerful statement if we could actually read Jenna Jameson's incredibly cluttered tat, which says, "I am not afraid. I was born to do this."
Amanda Seyfried
Amanda Seyfried
Does she know what "minge" means? It is a vulgar term for woman's pubic hair or genitals.
Amber Rose
Amber Rose
Amber and Wiz just got married, but this relationship was already sealed in permanent ink.
Denise Richards
Denise Richards
After Charlie Sheen went off the deep end, Denise was probably glad she covered up her tattoo dedicated to him back in 2008.

Kelly Osbourne
Kelly Osbourne
She inked her forearm with a heart-shaped lock and key, the word "Daddy," and a banner that reads, "This too shall pass." All interpretations of this tattoo are really uncomfortable.
Eve
Eve
Looks like someone got their paws on her chest...

Scarlett Johansson
Scarlett Johansson
For someone so sexy, this tattoo is exactly the opposite.
Kat Von D
Kat Von D
Kat Von D is famous for her tattoos, so you would think she would have better judgment. She got a portrait of her ex Jesse James as a child on her rib cage. If this wasn't strange enough, the tattoo took a turn for the worse when James cheated on her—with 19 women! We're glad she decided to get it removed.

Hayden Panettiere
Hayden Panettiere
Panetierre got the Italian phrase "Vivere senza rimpianti," or "Live without regrets," inked on her body except she spelled "rimipianti" incorrectly. Now her tattoo reads "Live without shit."
Kimberly Stewart
Kimberly Stewart
Kim must feel really close to dad Rod Stewart to be okay with getting "Daddy's Little Girl" tattooed over her pelvis.
