Yeah, bad as in awful, not bad as in good. I’m going to go out on a limb here and suggest that [tattooing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-tattoo-creator) “Baby on Board” is not such a great idea. And why would you want a [hanger imprint tatted on your back](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cookies-tattoo) unless you want people to think you just got it on in the coat closet with the coat check girl?

“Do Not Resuscitate” isn’t a wise thing to put on your chest, unless you really, really mean it. Really mean it. Really.
