They made it permanent!
There's no better way to prove that you love something, somewhere, or someone than to get it permanently tattooed onto your body... right? That seems to be the philosophy of many of the Teen Mom stars! Over the years, they've gotten inked up with some pretty crazy things. Even though many of their tattoos have stood the test of time, we're willing to bet that they seriously regret some of the others.
Check out the coolest, craziest, and most interesting tattoos that the Teen Mom cast members have gotten over the years — some of which you may have never known about!
All Inked Up
Maci Bookout isn't really one to show skin — well, except for her recent TV role that she stripped down for! That could be why many people don't realize that she has a back full of tattoos!
In addition to a tattoo that reads "bulletproof," just like the name of her memoir, Maci also has a piece of paper that reads, "When my heart hurts worse than my head, that is when I will get scared... and that is when I will know, that it is all worth it." Beneath, her name "Bookout" is written, with cupcakes replacing the O's. She also has a pencil on her forearm beside which is written "weapon of choice," and has "Things That Matter" tattooed on her sleeve!
It's clear the only person Maci's tattoos should matter to are Maci! "I think of them as pieces to my puzzle," Maci blogged about her tattoos. "No matter how big or small, they put me together. I love them, and I don't give a damn if you love them or not."
Cheetah Spots
If you've ever seen Jenelle Evans in a bathing suit, you've probably caught sight of her cheetah tattoo. She revealed on her blog at the time:
"The Leopard itself represents how strong I am but no one knows and they underestimate my strength so that’s why the leopard print fades away. I’m so strong and no one sees, I guess no know one sees my strengths because I do it discretely. It’s very hard to explain my tattoo but I know what it means. I hope you guys understand."
Forever
From roses to landscapes, Kailyn Lowry has a full body of beautiful tattoos. But there's one in particular that some fans may have forgotten about. While she was with Javi Marroquin, the two of them got matching infinity symbols to show that they would love each other forever. Kailyn's is on her wrist, and check out Javi's on his side!
Ironically, this isn't the only matching tattoo Javi Marroquin got with a Teen Mom star...
King & Queen
Javi didn't date Briana DeJesus for very long — only around four months. Apparently that was long enough for them to decide to get matching tattoos!
Apparently this couple tapped into their regal feelings for each other and got matching “King” and “Queen” tattoos. That’s not too surprising, considering this was a common trend of their relationship, like when Briana shared this picture of them in matching King and Queen sweaters. She captioned it, “Only a queen can keep a king focused, only a king can attract a queen.”
Javi may be a repeat offendor, but he's not the only Teen Mom cast member to get a tattoo with an ex.
Vero Amore
In addition to having a portrait of her daughter Leah tattooed on her stomach, Amber Portwood has a testament to her love tattooed on her wrist ...Too bad it's an EX love! She and Matt Baier got matching "Vero Amore" tattoos on their wrists while they were together, which means "true love." Turns out it wasn't! But it's much worse for Matt...
Amber!
He has Amber's full name tattooed on his wrist! That's gotta feel good for Amber, knowing that she's moved on to bigger and better things... and at least her tattoo doesn't have Matt's name on it.
But watch out: Matt's not the only one who got Amber inked onto his skin!
Covered Up
Gary Shirley also got Amber's name tattooed on him while they were together. Her name had a short stay on his right shoulder, but he has since gotten it covered up. “So never get a tattoo of your girlfriend’s name," he tweeted when he had it covered. "[I’ve] learned from my mistake I’m a dumba**.”
Watch Out!
Unlike some of her co-stars, Chelsea Houska hasn't dedicated her full arms to tattoos... yet. In the meantime, she has this tiny little skull tattoo on her ankle, which symbolizes triumph and rebellion, and looks pretty cool in the meantime.
Baltierra Ink
Tyler Baltierra and Catelynn Lowell have matching tattoos as well. But instead of being a symbol of their love for one another, they each have a tattoo with Carly's name and date of birth. In addition to that, Tyler has a huge Batman tattoo on his upper right arm and bat wings on his back!
Tyler and Catelynn are far from the only ones with ink commemorating their children, though.
Dedicated to Kids
A number of the cast members have tattoos for their children. Ryan Edwards has a huge "Bentley" tattoo on his side, complete with wings. Leah has her three daughter's names tattooed on her feet, and Corey Simms has his twins' names and birthdays tattooed on his arms!
Love Yourself
If the Teen Mom cast has taught us anything, it's that you should get a tattoo of someone you're sure will never leave you. Farrah Abraham took this advice and got at tattoo for the person she loves most in this world... herself!
