It shouldn’t be a secret nowadays that the photos that influencers upload are not 100% real. Anyone can demonstrate anything they want behind a screen – people use Photoshop, filters and the “beautify” tool to create a version of them that is not real. While this is often overlooked, some people have grown weary of the unrealistic versions they see of “influencers.” Discover all these people who were discovered using Photoshop too much or who were the victims of someone who ruined their photo in the funniest way possible!

The “Strongest” Dude

The thing is, it’s understandable why someone would want to showcase their strength on social media. The only problem is that real strength takes work – and if you’re going to fake it with photoshop you better pay attention to the details.

The Fence Was Always There

We all enjoy viewing magnificent travel photos on social media, particularly since travel has become a distant dream lately. But this guy went a little bit too far. In a series of photos where he appears to be in different places around the world, it was the fence in his backyard that eventually gave it away.

Individuals started to observe that the fence was consistently present, exposing his falsehood.

A Rookie Mistake

There are some fundamental principles in photo editing that can assist in producing a flawlessly edited picture. But as we’ve learned (and will continue learning), many people don’t necessarily do their research before posting a picture with “a touch” here and there.

The Angle Says It All

Again, folks, just refrain from believing everything you may see on social media. Angles play a crucial role, particularly when celebrities opt to avoid the use of Photoshop. Nowadays, pictures don’t necessarily have to be edited or photoshopped in order to be unrealistic.

All it takes is discovering which angles flatter one’s appearance the most to fabricate a completely false version of oneself.

Stop Fooling Us

We’re not going to lie, it’s really hard to understand the reason behind this decision to photoshop in this instance.

It’s a bit strange, but it happened – a Ferrari logo was randomly photoshopped onto the steering wheel of a car that she wasn’t even driving.

The Editing Went a Bit Overboard

This photo had such great potential, and to be completely honest, the guy isn’t that difficult to look at in the first place, so why so much editing?

Reddit

Instead of sharing a candid photo capturing a relaxed moment, the man opted to heavily utilize the teeth whitening feature, resulting in teeth that are excessively white and shiny, perhaps even the most dazzling on the internet.

Look at the Difference!

The situation has escalated to a point where certain individuals are sharing pictures of themselves that portray them as entirely distinct individuals.

Ethan Klein, a YouTuber, began creating videos that reveal Instagram users who engage in such behavior, and to remind young people to stop believing everything they see on social media. He claims: “I can’t get over the difference! Don’t believe what you see on Instagram folks.”

Does a Hike Really Count If You Didn’t Bring a Dog Along?

To be frank, if you embarked on a scenic hike and failed to share a picture of yourself at the summit on social media, can you even say you hiked at all? To this person’s luck, her picture was additionally enhanced with a whole lot of cuteness when her dog decided she had to be in the picture too.

And well, there is absolutely nothing wrong with choosing to share the angles that enhance our best features. The situation becomes slightly problematic when such content is all we encounter online.

Next Time, Erase the Filter Name

Filters have taken the world by storm for quite some time now, and while they can be incredibly enjoyable, they also produce distorted versions of reality. The trend has become so widespread that individuals are now paying to alter their appearances to resemble their preferred filters.

Unfortunately, this girl forgot to erase the name of her filter when she tried to convince her followers that her eyes were turning from grey to green naturally. Looking up you can clearly see, “Colored Lenses by luxelenses.”

Was it Really Necessary?

Another embarrassing photoshopped situation that just seems to be so unnecessary. The lady shared a photo of a tidy and adorable breakfast-in-a-robe morning scenario, but it appears as though her breakfast hadn’t yet been served.

Reddit / FaceInTheSpace

So instead, she took a picture of a breakfast plate and literally pasted it into her picture, creating this disaster we see here.

A Brilliant Idea

Once more, the mental health implications of idealized selfies posted by celebrities and influencers on social media are significant. While some people have begun taking it seriously, others have brushed away the very urgent need to do something about it.

According to this individual, a new legislation proposed in the UK aims to mandate that celebrities disclose when they share edited content.

After that, no matter how stunning the picture is, once one finds out it’s photoshopped that person’s credibility is gone.

The Cat Couldn’t Care Less

We are all aware of how sly cats can be, and many of them do whatever they please. Unsurprisingly, this cat is no different. While the bride and groom were taking their wedding photos, their picture wasn’t unexpectedly interrupted by a celebrity star, but rather by this feline.

Reddit / Bergfried

Instead, the cat decided that he needed to be a part of that picture in order to make their day – and that’s exactly what he did.

It’s a Fact, Cats Hate Weddings

Here goes another one of a cat that wasn’t going to let that photo be snapped without the grace of his face. But he didn’t just want to be a part of the photo.

The cat wanted to exhibit its complete face, so that the delighted couple could forever recollect the day when a feline decided to join in their wedding pictures.

Not the Most Romantic Photo

Well, that’s definitely an interesting way of ruining a random couple’s photo. This couple opted for a charming kissing snapshot by leaning out of their respective car windows, but they failed to notice the presence of two guys in the back.

Reddit / BadderthanyOu

Both guys chose to pee exactly when the couple kissed and the photo was snapped. Now they’re stuck with this lovely picture.

That Was a Bit Unnecessary

Now, this is something new. Reportedly, this Instagram user was caught photoshopping the same cloud into her photographs, and nobody can quite comprehend the motive behind it.

Reddit / your-missing-mom

Two things are possible here. Either she holds an immense fondness for that particular cloud formation and decided that it must feature in all her travel pictures, or perhaps the places depicted in her pictures are all artificially created via photo editing software.

Not Nature Can Escape

Even Mother Nature isn’t immune to being disgracefully photoshopped to appear more vibrant. The two photos below show a picture of a blue and purple stunning lake next to how the lake actually looks like (which is stunning on its own).

A man is seen sitting next to the lake in an unedited image, which essentially serves as proof that the person who posted the image on the left resorted to some extreme editing.

There Are Many More Out There

It may be hard to believe, but it is surprisingly common for people to add clouds via photoshop to their pictures on Instagram. Apparently, they give the photos a bit of a dreamy upgrade, resulting in tons of people resorting to stock photos and clouds every single day to be added to their Instagram posts.

To break the norm, this girl decided to put a photo of herself without any make-up and photoshop it next to one with the entire face production.

Couldn’t be further from Reality

“Magazines Are an Illusion”

It’s not just Instagram users who manipulate their pictures online to give the impression of being closer to “perfection” than others. Celebrities do it too on a daily basis, and many rarely admit it.

And while they do it themselves, oftentimes, the decisions to hide any perceived “imperfections” on their bodies or faces are made by the influencers’ managers and producers. They ensure that their clients always appear flawless.

Prior to Kylie Jenner undergoing any cosmetic “enhancements,” she already had a passion for experimenting with makeup and posing at different angles on social media. For example, the picture on the left was taken on the same day as the picture on the right-hand side, but it actually looks like we’re looking at two different people.

While most people won’t notice it if the picture is slightly edited, it is almost impossible to unsee that many angles that just don’t match.

Nothing About This Tattoo Is Right

While the sentiment behind this tattoo is nice, everything else about it is not. The tattoo artist spelled “nobodies” instead of “nobody’s,” and the sloppy line work on both words is kind of horrifying to look at. The spacing between the words and the heart is uneven, and the heart itself is shaded in super awkwardly. Basically, everything about this tattoo was a massive mistake.

This Is Terrifying

Marilyn Monroe was one of the most prominent actresses of her time. She’s often referred to as an example of classic American beauty standards, which is why so many people want to get a tattoo of her gorgeous face! We can’t blame them for that, but we absolutely blame the people involved in the creation of this monstrous tattoo! What were they thinking? Marilyn looks like she’s possessed by a demon! This is terrifying to look at.

El Hopaness Romtic

Finger tattoos that spell out something significant can be beautiful when they’re done properly. Unfortunatley, these tattoos are super easy to mess up. This tattoo is a prime example of not thinking through how the tattoo is going to look before you go through with it. The person actually meant for this message to read as, “hopeless romantic,” but most people read it as “el hopaness romtic.” We’re crying and laughing at this one!

Two Right Hands

The Mario franchise is massive! There are dozens of games in this universe, a handful of movies, and tons of merch. Lots of people get tattoos of their favorite video game characters, so that’s not the cringy part of this tattoo. What’s hilarious is the way the artist and the person who got the tattoo didn’t notice that they were giving Mario two right hands! How will this affect Mario’s ability to save the Princess? At first glance, most people won’t even notice the mistake, so hopefully the person who’s living with this tattoo isn’t too upset.

Oof! How Does This Happen?

It’s just wild to think people are out here getting tattoos and never spellchecking them! How did this person manage to mess up their tattoo this badly? While the message of the tattoo itself is nice, the glaringly obvious grammatical errors are a massive issue. Aside from that, there’s another issue with this picture. Why is this person’s bed so dirty? We hope they changed their bedsheets after they took this picture!

Is This A Joke?

The image this person got tattooed on themselves is completely unrecognizable from its subject. Apparently, the tattoo is supposed to be the face of a cougar, but it certainly doesn’t look like one! The tattoo looks like an imaginary creature from a really low-budget and poor-quality cartoon. When you look at the face, you realize that it also looks very sad. Why would you want a sad cougar face tattooed on your skin? These animals are graceful and fierce! Sadly, this is another example of what happens when you don’t vet your tattoo artist properly.

Don’t Trust Her Sense Of Direction

The sad thing about this tattoo is that it’s actually really good quality. You can tell the artist is experienced and knows what they’re doing. We should probably just blame the artist for the incorrect placement of the directions, but we’re guessing the woman had something to do with it. Was this supposed to be ironic or some sort of statement? Either way, it just tells us not to trust her sense of direction!

The Real M&M

Will the real Slim Shady please stand up? Because we’re pretty sure the real rapper doesn’t have a blue face! Who knows what this person was thinking when they got this tattoo done? Our best guess was the round blue face was a play on the way Eminem’s name sounds like the delicious chocolate candies. Still, it’s a pretty disturbing image and gets creepier the longer you look at it. Despite that, it’s actually a very good quality tattoo, so points for that!

This Is Why You Need A Professional

There’s a good reason why professional tattoo artists charge as much as they do. They are the ones with the right skills, tools, and knowledge to create high-quality and visually astonishing tattoos. When you try to replicate their art on your own without the proper equipment and skills, you get this as a result. A very sad, awkward-looking lion that no one will be impressed by. We hope this girlfriend went to a professional tattoo artist and got a coverup done!

Can I Go To The Bathroom?

Cross tattoos are very popular, especially when a person has experienced the loss of a loved one. It’s a great way to memorialize their memory and keep a piece of them with you forever. However, if you plan on tattooing a sweet phrase, you’d better make sure you’re 100% sure that you’re happy with what it says! The person who got this tattoo thought the words said, “Forever in my heart.” An Irishman on Reddit commented and said the phrase actually means, “Do I have permission to go to the bathroom?” Talk about awkward!

King Kong?

Tattooing the back of your head is an interesting choice. You never get to see the tattoo yourself, so it’s mostly done as an aesthetic choice. This man shaved a portion of the back of his head and convinced a tattoo artist to place a gorilla there! We have to admit that the result is pretty stunning. It’s kind of crazy to look at because it’s so realistic and captivating. The real question is- will this person keep shaving their head to reveal the tattoo? Or, will their hair eventually grow out and leave the tattoo as a hidden surprise for their future hairdresser?

Patients Is A Virtue

The phrase, “patience is a virtue,” has never been more true than it is today. Everyone had to be very patient during the pandemic while we waited for life to return to some semblance of normalcy. You would think during all that free time this person would have thought to spellcheck their tattoo! How do you manage to misspell the only word that makes up your tattoo? Rather than reading as an inspirational message, this tattoo feels a little tone-deaf by suggesting that patients (as in people seeking medical treatment) are virtues. This is awkward all around.

That Sinking Feeling

Have you ever had your hopes up for something to come out amazing, only to experience that awful sinking feeling when you take a look at it? We can only imagine that is how this person must have felt when they saw their tattoo. Clearly, they wanted a tattoo that replicated the image on their phone, and they were left with a super low-quality and unprofessional version instead. We hope they got their money back because this is a major disappointment!

Dog Tits

What do you do when you want to get a tattoo but can’t think of any good ideas? Well, you pick something random that makes you laugh! At least, that’s what the person featured in this picture did. Rather than getting a tattoo filled with significance, he decided to get several nipples tattooed down his abdomen. Then, just for good measure, he also got the words “dog tits” tatted on himself. Is it hilarious? Absolutely! Is it super bad? It’s really, really bad.

What Does This Say?

Looking at this tattoo gives us some Deja vu. It gives us the same vibes as the “el hopaness romtic” tattoo. At least with that tattoo, you could eventually figure out what it means. We have no idea what to make of this tattoo! The words “live your truth” are easy enough to see, but the words in the middle are very confusing. We think it’s supposed to spell out, “I am who I am.” But even that doesn’t make a ton of sense. Someone should have sat this person down and told them to rethink this tattoo.

Turtle Head

Turtles are actually awesome animals, so we can’t blame this guy for wanting to get one of them tattooed on him. However, we are judging for the turtle tattoo covering his entire head! It looks super weird, even though the tattoo is actually pretty good quality. The image is just confusing. Is he pretending to have a turtle friend that follows him around everywhere? Regardless of his intentions and the quality of this tattoo, it falls flat.

This Is Too Disturbing

Some face tattoos look great, but this is just disturbing. This man got a smaller version of his own face tattooed on his face, and the result is like something out of a nightmare! It’s hard to know where to look when you see this picture, and the longer you look at it, the worse it seems to get. There’s nothing pleasant or interesting about this tattoo. It’s just plain creepy!

The Shoulder Straps Are A Mistake

This person got a nice, simple tattoo across the front of their shoulder, but they didn’t think about how it would look once they were wearing a dress with shoulder straps. Instead of being a cute tattoo featuring an inspirational message, it’s turned into something hilarious! Maybe this was intentional, and she wanted to draw attention to that part of her body. Regardless, it’s not a very appropriate tattoo to have when you’re at work, so hopefully, her outfits cover it!

Excellent Recreation

Asking inexperienced tattoo artists to recreate incredible tattoos almost never ends well. This person learned that the hard way when they brought their tattoo artist a picture of a tatt with birds soaring over a tree. The resulting tattoo is pretty low-quality, badly shaded, and an overall disappointment. Do you think this person asked for a refund? Because they probably should have! Or, at the very least, they should have asked for a free cover-up.

“Tribal Tattoo”

This is so intentionally bad that it’s actually really hilarious. Lots of people enjoy getting tribal tattoos, and many tattoo artists have even commented on how popular this trend has become. Someone decided to make the trend their own and, instead of getting an actual design of a tribal tattoo, simply got the words “tribal tattoo” in quotes. This one make us choke on our coffee a bit.

Religious Tattoo Gone Wrong

Religious symbols are probably one of the most popular tattoo themes in the world. A vast number of people have images of crosses, holy figures, and other religious symbols tattooed on their bodies. Many of these tattoos look amazing and provide comfort to people, but this tattoo isn’t providing comfort to anyone. The artist gave Jesus a face that does not look comforting, holy, or divine. It actually looks pretty scary, and we’d rather not look at this tattoo for another second!

Faux Sunglasses

We don’t even know where to start with this one! Why would you do this? This man got a pair of fake sunglasses tattooed on his face, and it looks just as bad as it sounds. The way the frames constantly outline his eyes are super creepy, and the worst part is that the tattoo wasn’t even done well! The line work is sloppy, and the shading is inconsistent. Tattoo removal, anyone?

Baby Shark Do Do Do Do Do Do

Baby Shark became a media sensation when the original video came out in 2015. Kids everywhere loved the musical jingle and the accompanying hand movements, while parents everywhere wanted to pull their hair out after listening to it for the millionth time. This person got a tattoo of the infamous line, “baby shark do do do do do do,” and immediately regretted it. He snapped a photo and captioned it with, “I’ve ruined my life.” Don’t worry dude, you can totally get that covered up!

When Veganism Becomes Your Whole Personality

People like this give vegans a bad reputation. No one wants to feel like someone is shoving their ideals down their throat, but it tends to happen. Vegans get a lot of flack when they make their diet their entire personality, and this woman took this phenomenon a step too far. She got the word “vegan” tattooed on her face, specifically to let everyone she encounters know that she is a vegan. Not everyone needs to know about your dietary preferences!

The Best Worst Tattoo

Okay, we really can’t complain about this tattoo too much. Anyone who grew up watching Spongebob in the 90s will instantly recognize the figure in this tattoo and have a good laugh. This is actually a cute idea and a pretty nostalgic tattoo. If you’re mad about this tattoo, you need to go back and rewatch this episode of Spongebob because it was an example of peak comedy!

Puzzle Piece Tattoos

Puzzle piece tattoos are actually really cute when they’re done properly. It’s a great way of showing how much you love one another and how well you fit together. However, the couple in this photo didn’t think their tattoo through well enough. After sharing a picture of their tatts on social media, someone was quick to point out that they both got corner pieces that would never actually fit together. That’s pretty unfortunate.

Tiger Lily?

Tiger lilies are gorgeous flowers, but people just can’t help themselves sometimes. Some people are so determined to set themselves apart from the crowd and be unique and the results can be disastrous. This person wanted a tiger lily tattoo with a face of a tiger in the middle. That’s fair enough, but the tattoo is such bad quality that it’s actually laughable. The petals of the flower look more like wilted bandaids than anything else!

Poor Drunken Choice

This is a classic example of why you should never do any form of body modification while you’re intoxicated. Drunk you will make decisions that sober you will regret, and you’ll be left with a permanent reminder of that awful choice when tattooing is involved. This person got an angry Pikachu tattooed on his calf while he was drunk and has regretted it ever since. Learn from this person’s mistakes. Tattoos and booze don’t mix!
