This is, without a doubt, the worst DIY tattoo of all time: Click to see

A tattoo is for life, not just for a drunken night out.

And one guy learned this the hard way when, after a particularly debauched night out, he decided to pay homage to his favourite Pokemon character, Charmander.

For those who don’t remember, this is Charmander:

Cute, right?

We can kind of see why this guy wanted the little flame-tailed critter permanently inked to his body forever (after all, you have just gotta catch ‘em all at some point).

But we definitely CAN'T see why he decided to tattoo it all by himself.

Are you ready for this? Deep breaths, everyone...

Good god. it's like something out of a nightmare, isn't it?

Taking to Reddit to expose his friend's inking mishap, user yllwsnow2 wrote simply: “My friend was drunk and on Xanax when he decided to tattoo a black face Charmander with no experience or artistic ability.”

Trying to be kind, he added: “The flame saves it.”

Wow. Just wow.

New mantra for life? Friends don’t let friends drunk-tattoo themselves.

But, despite the initial horror, the lovingly dubbed ‘Shartmander’ has gone down a storm on social media.

Shartmander, we choose you!
