“Regrets I had a few but then again too few to mention.” The wise words of the late great Frank Sinatra ring true but for these folks we're going to have to mention you’re regrets and make them public. In fact we will all laugh at your regrets and rank them from ugly to ugliest.
Take this as a public service announcement: if you happen to be an NBA fan and maybe, just maybe you've been thinking lately that it would be a nice idea to get Chris Paul or whoever your favorite ball player is tattooed on your body, let these examples be a lesson to you. Heed our warning and thank us later. Check out these Hilarious NBA Fan Tattoo Fails.
James Harden
He looks like Isaac Hayes on the Black Moses cover. We want to see that basketball tattoo. This kid really loves him some basketball. He needs love.
Kobe Bryant
That font is so bad. And is that a real signature? He'll never take a shower ever again.

Dirk Nowitzki
We suppose the best place to get a brainless tattoo is where the sun don't shine. This poor soul needs saving. Let us pray.
Stephon Marbury
Do you agree that the only thing that may trump Marbury's Starbury tattoo on his dome is someone that would tattoo Marbury on their leg? Us to! Not to mention the ever so insightful "Love is Love" under it. We want to eat Vaseline now.

Sacamento Kings
He's going to have to get that thing changed once they move. Poor guy.

Seattle Supersonics
Sick Sonic tattoo bro! Let's go Thunder!

Seattle Supersonics
Good thing this guy put ink to skin so he could remember the Seattle Sonics 1979 championship because we all certainly will not.

Boston Celtics
You like the Celtics, but do you really have to fright children you see in public? It's hard to tell whether this is homage to the movie, Leprechaun in the Hood or to the Celtics, either way good choice for a demented freak.
Toronto Raptors
What's worse? Having a tat of the Raptors or having a tat of a cupcake on top of crossbones?

Jeremy Lin
So this poor soul got a little carried away with Linsanity. We wonder how he felt when Lin dipped to Houston. He needs to have a seat.
Inside the NBA
Along with that ridiculous Barkley tattoo, Shaq was also persuasive enough to get this guy to tattoo his back with all the members of Inside the NBA in a Mt. Rushmore fashion. Shaq won't rest until he has an army of men sporting Kazaam tattoos.
Oklahoma City Thunder
This person, we suspect a female, just elevated the term "thunder thighs" to a whole new level. This person either is some type of circus clown or just a complete lunatic. Either way, it would be good fun to see her on the beach or something and just point and laugh. Thunder up!
Shaquille O'Neal
Nice tattoo, nut job. This makes zero sense, but we suppose when you're on bath salts, it's better to get "I slept with Shaq" tatted on your forehead than eating someone. Or is it?
Miami Heat
This one will leave you scratching your head. First things first: Is that a terrible tribute to Big Pun or is it supposed to be Eddy Curry? Plus, why is he slamming home the Heat ball? Why did he feel the need to take a selfie and share it with the world wide web? So many questions.

LeBron James
This could very well be the reason LeBron left Cleveland in favor of South Beach. This guy freaked him out. After LeBron made his decision to bounce, do you think this guy moved to Miami? Found a tattoo removal place? Or just cries himself to sleep each night?
Shaquille O'Neal
Completely surprised more people don't rock a Kazaam tattoo like this fellow. Such a star studded performance by Shaq plus he has a great face for a leg tattoo. Holy shit, this is bad.
Tracy McGrady
So we take it this guy was at the game where McGrady scored 13 points in 35 seconds to beat the Spurs. Then preceded to get hammered out of his mind, next thing he knows he woke up with a migraine and McGrady's grill on his arm. Only explanation right? But they forgot the lazy eye. SMH.
Charles Barkley & Dick Bavetta
So apparently Shaq paid a bartender a couple G's to get this tattoo. Clearly none of you can tell this is Charles Barkley kissing long time NBA referee Dick Bavetta, but perhaps it's better that way.
