A MAN has left people stunned after proudly showing off his new “graveyard beard” tattoo.
The bloke had taken to Facebook to boast about the latest addition to his ink collection – a huge graveyard which spanned from one ear, over the chin and to the other ear.
On his right side, there was also a picture of a huge, gnarly tree, which went all the way up to his cheekbone.
Other images included in the design were gravestones, crosses, an RIP tomb and a pair of gates – which sat directly on his chin.
Despite clearly being thrilled with his new ink, the man ended up “fighting for his life in the comments”, according to someone who posted the snaps on Reddit’s S**ty Tattoos thread.
“People are telling him to get it touched up by a different artist,” the poster added, “and clowning anyone who says it’s not incredible”.
Faced with the complaints, the guy then responded “it’s freshly done, it just needs to heal”, the Redditer said.
But unsurprisingly, people commenting on the Reddit post were equally harsh about the tattoo, with many insisting he’d struggle to get a job with such a bold inking.
“Look REAL close and you can see his future buried in that mess…” one wrote.
“Any semblance of a normal life depends on whether he could grow a beard to hide it,” another said.
“Man, wish I also had enough money that I could never be employable again,” a third sighed.
While others took aim at the tattoo artist who had inked him, with one writing: “The concept is… interesting at least.

“RIP to his face lol,” another said.
“I always say people with face tattoos are usually not good decision makers,” a third commented.
“This just proves the point. God damn!”
“Yeah the actual ink has terrible design and no subtlety,” another wrote.
“Could have been great in the right context but that ain’t it.”
“It’s a graveyard beard. He’s permanently ceme-hairy,” someone else joked.
“Makes your worst nightmares come to life! (For everybody else),” another commented.
“How can the tombstone already look infected?” someone else questioned.
