Today Michael Jackson’s daughter, Paris, revealed her tattoo tribute to her late father. It was sweet and subtle, but some celebrity tattoos haven’t turned out so well …

1. Chris Brown, please just stop it

The disgraced R&B singer controversially got a tattoo of a beaten woman on his neck which many believe represents a battered Rihanna. Brown served time after he brutally assaulted his former girlfriend in 2009.

2. Justin Bieber has mummy issues

Justin Bieber has a growing collection of tattoos but not all of them are masterpieces. The What Do You Mean singer has a tattoo on his left inner elbow of his mother's eye, which comes across as rather creepy.

He also has a tattoo of his ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez, which he has attempted to disguise by shading her face.

3. Britney Spears gets lost in translation

When the star was getting the tat done, she believed the symbol meant "mysterious".

However, it wasn't until the artwork was complete that it was revealed its actual meaning was "strange".

4. T-Pain 'likes' Facebook

AutoTune fan T-Pain has a cringeworthy Facebook-inspired tattoo which features the words, "You Don't have to 'like' me", in the style of the social media website's 'like' button. On Twitter T-Pain explained: "I get a tat every time I come to Hawaii. I think this one's pretty sweet, unless Facebook shuts down soon." Unlike, unlike, unlike!

5. Hayden Panettiere needs a dictionary

Hayden Panettiere had the words, "Live without regrets" tattooed in Italian down her rib cage. Unfortunately, her "vivere senza rimpianti" tattoo was misspelled and the last word should have been "rimipianti". The star regretted the tattoo so much she has since had it laser removed.
