Teen Mom: The Definitive, Tragically Trashy Tattoo Guide, Back and Trashier Than Ever!

Emily Trainham Amber Portwood

If you’re a fan of Teen Mom and Teen Mom 2, then you know that many of the people on the MTV reality shows have tattoos.

You also know that a lot of the tattoos …

… well, they aren’t that great.

Some are poorly done, some are  kind of strange, and some are nightmarish and horrifying and just so completely, unbelievably bad.

So steady yourself, perhaps grab some smelling salts and some pearls to clutch, and let’s rank all the Teen Mom ink we can get our eyes on!

1. Amber’s Tattoo of Leah

Ambers tattoo of leah
Here, let’s just start with the worst of the worst, all right? This is Amber Portwood’s portrait of her daughter, Leah. It’s right on her stomach, it also features a gigantic rose, and it’s not finished. Will she ever get it finished? It’s hard to say. We will ever be able to get this haunting image out of our heads? Unlikely.

2. Choices

Choices
Since we’re already talking about Amber’s tattoos, she also got this matching tattoo with Matt Baier, back when they first started dating. It reads “vero amore,” which is supposed to be Italian for “true love.” So that’s embarrassing.

3. Speaking of Embarrassing …

Speaking of embarrassing
Matt also has this huge tattoo of Amber’s name right on his forearm. Just right there on his arm where he has to look at it all day, every day.

4. Ugh

Matt baier book cover
Matt actually has several tattoos, many of which you can see on his nude book cover. We won’t waste more time on him here, so if you feel the need to look more closely at his naked greasy bod here, then you have our blessing. However, we will say that on his other arm, he has a couple of Chinese characters that he says mean “clean and sober,” but that Teen Mom detectives have actually determined mean “Lisa.”

5. Why Though?

Why though
As hard as it may be to believe, Matt isn’t the only guy to get Amber Portwood’s name tattooed on his body — Gary Shirley made the exact same mistake. Thankfully he was smart enough (???) to get the tattoo on his shoulder instead of on his forearm though, and he’s since covered up.

6. It’s Gary Time

Its gary time
Gary also has a … what is that, a sun? A blob with tentacles? Whatever it is, he’s also got some tattoo right in the middle of his chest, peeking out through all his body hair.

Teen Mom: How the Cast Members Make SO MUCH MONEY … and Who’s the Richest [UPDATED]

Tyler Johnson Amber Portwood

One of the cool things about being on Teen Mom is that you make a lot of money.

Like, a lot.

The moms and the original dads make hundreds of thousands of dollars per season, if you can even believe it, and they also get to travel for free if MTV is filming, which is pretty neat since we’ve been seeing a lot more vacations on the show recently.

But besides the show itself, cast members are pulling in crazy amounts of cash from all kinds of wild and crazy places.

“Like where?” you may be wondering.

Well, wonder no further …

[We’ve updated the list for 2020 so that you can enjoy the slow financial declines of Jenelle Evans and Farrah Abraham. You know you’ve been waiting for this!]

1. Dang

Teen mom threesome
As we’ve said, the original cast members — the moms and the dads of their first children — all make the same amount, which is somewhere in the neighborhood of $350,000 to $400,000 a season. But what else does everyone do?

2. Amber Portwood

Let’s start with reviewing Amber’s side hustles — this will be the easiest to do, because she really doesn’t have any.

3. Not Much

Amber portwood on the insta
She shares articles on her Instagram page, which brings in some money, and she did appear on that one season of Marriage Boot Camp a couple of years ago, so that’s something.

4. A Quick Hobby

Amber portwood cant chill
For a little while there, she got into flipping houses with Matt Baier, but she hasn’t done that since he’s been gone.

5. Forever Haute

Amber portwood deals with matt baier
She did have that sketchy clothing company for a little while, Forever Haute, but she hasn’t talked about it in a very long time, and the brand’s Facebook page hasn’t been updated for a year and a half, so it’s probably safe to say that that’s done.

6. Well …

Right now, she’s facing years in prison after assaulting Andrew Glennon, so she’s probably not thinking so much about her next business venture, you know?

Chelsea Houska: Adam Lind’s Mom Is Ruining My Life!

Tyler Johnson Chelsea Houska

In its earliest years on the air, the Teen Mom franchise highlighted the many perlis of becoming pregnant at a young age.

Of course, one of the big ones was not immediately evident to the show’s young stars:

Namely, the fact that when you have a kid with someone, you’re stuck with them for life.

Take Chelsea Houska and Adam Lind, for example.

The former couple has been broken up for years, and these days, Chelsea is happily married to Cole DeBoer.

But because they have a child together, Chelsea and Adam are bonded for life, a set of circumstances that Houska griped about on Tuesday night’s Teen Mom 2 reunion special.

Taka a look:

1. It Never Ends

Chelsea Houska has been broken up with Adam Lind for several years. But because the two of them have a child together, he’ll always be a part of her life.

2. Stuck In the Middle

Chelsea and Adam are parents to 9-year-old Aubree, and while Lind has been absent throughout much of the girl’s life, he still manages to be a thorn in Houska’s side.

3. Family Ties

On the most recent season of Teen Mom 2, Houska clashed with Adam’s mom, who complained that she doesn’t get to see Aubree enough.

4. Safety Precautions

Currently, Adam is only permitted to see his daughter at school events or during supervised visits at a state-run location.

5. A Mile-Long Rap Sheet

This is a necessary precaution resulting from Lind’s many, many run-ins with the law, several of which have landed him behind bars.

6. Absentee Adam

As longtime TM2 viewers are aware, Lind has often failed to set up visits with Aubree, or to show up for visits once they’re scheduled.

Chelsea Houska Faces Off With Adam Lind’s Mom: Keep Your Loser Son Out of My Daughter’s Life!

Tyler Johnson Chelsea Houska

Chelsea Houska would probably love to never hear the name Adam Lind again as long as she lives.

Unfortunately, Lind remains the father of Chelsea’s daugher Aubree, and it seems he has no plan to quietly withdraw from the 9-year-old’s life.

Houska has made it clear that she wants Aubree to have a relationship with her father,

The problem is, Lind is unstable and prone to substance abuse and violence.

And so, Chelsea has to proceed with extreme caution when it comes to allowing Adam into her daughter’s life — something that Lind’s parents are not making any easier.

Take a look:

1. Balancing Act

Chelsea houska adam lind
Chelsea Houska is in a difficult position. Her ex, Adam Lind, is a dangerous, erratic individual — but he’s also the father of her eldest child. And Chelsea would like for the girl to have a relationship with her dad.

2. The Bad Guy

Adam lind shows off his body
Lind has long been one of the very worst of the Teen Mom baby daddies, which is really saying something, as the franchise has attracted all manner of irresponsible losers over the years.

3. Absentee Dad

Aubree lind deboer
Over the years, Lind has come in and out of contact with Aubree, his 9-year-old daughter with Chelsea Houska.

4. Short Leash

Currently, he is only permitted to see his daughter at school events or during supervised visits at a state-run location.

5. Necessary Precautions

This might seem extreme, but Lind has a long history of substance abuse and violent behavior, and Chelsea understandably feels that he can’t be trusted alone with Aubree.

6. Speaking On His Behalf

On Tuesday night’s Teen Mom 2 season finale, Adam’s mother, Donna, attempted to renegotiate the terms of her son’s visitation rights.

Hilton Hater Chelsea Houska

This Just In:

Chelsea Houska is not shy.

This Also Just In:

Chelsea Houska knows how to make herself go viral.

This was evident on the November 19 episode of Teen Mom 2 when the veteran star found herself alone in the car with husband Cole and made it very clear that she wished the two were truly alone.

As in: She wished there was not a camera attached to the dashboard in front of them.

How come? What did Chelsea have in mind?

As you’re about to find out below, she wasn’t exactly subtle about it…

1. Happily Married!

Chelsea and Cole have been married since 2016. They are parents to a son named Watson and a daughter named Layne and have seemed generally happy and scandal-free this whole time.

2. Why? What’s Their Secret?

Chelsea houska and fam
We may have just found out! On the aforementioned episode of Teen Mom 2, Chelsea made it clear that having two young kids at home has not de-spiced their sex life in any way, shape or form.

3. Ooooh, Do Tell!

Ooooh do tell
Oh, we will, alright! Or, to be more specific, Chelsea will tell…

4. Want Some Oral Pleasure?

Want some oral pleasure
On Monday night’s installment of Teen Mom 2, Chelsea got a bit scandalous during a car ride! How so? Here is how so: “If we weren’t on camera, I’d give you a blowie on the way there,” Chelsea told Cole.

5. Come Again?

Come again
Or come just once in my mouth, Chelsea was basically teasing in this scene. Sorry. That was crude. But, hey, Chelsea is the one who strongly implied it, not us!

6. Sorry, Honey, But…

Sorry honey but
“We’re on camera,” Chelsea reminded Cole next, to which he replied in obvious fashion: “We can turn them off… pretty fast.”

Chelsea Houska Dishes on Adam Lind, Teen Mom 2, and Her Family’s Future

Simon Delott Chelsea Houska

Chelsea Houska is easily one of the most beloved stars (maybe THE most beloved) of the Teen Mom franchise, and with good reason.

A big part of her appeal is that she keeps her head down and focuses on her own life, unemcumbered by the trappings of fame.

With that said, the pride of South Dakota sat down with the Don’t Tell Mom podcast to open up about a number of topics.

(Big shoutout to The Ashley for her very good transcription of the highlights.)

The Housk dishes on her troubled ex, what it’s really like to be a Teen Mom 2 star and how that has changed over the years.

On a family note, she and husband Cole have a lot of plans for the future – in terms of reality TV and growing their family.

Take a look at what Chelsea (and even Cole) shared below:

1. The Housk!!

Houska c
“I probably should have gotten permission technically to do this podcast,” Chelsea, who fans are always dying for updates from, admits. “To even do articles, we’re supposed to go through MTV Press, but I don’t think people do that anymore. I don’t like to break rules!” She’s so relatable!

2. She’s been coming out of her shell

“This last year I feel like I’m kind of growing as a person,” Chelsea acknowledges. “Before I used to hide in my house, literally, hide in my house, all the time. Now I’m trying to put myself out there a little bit.”

3. That’s why her social media presence has been ramping up

Cole deboer and chelsea houska lookin good
“We are so lucky for the opportunities we have due to this platform,” Chelsea emphasizes. “So I’m finally being able to be like, ‘Listen, if you want to make the most of this, and anyone should, you’ve got to put yourself out there,’ and that’s what we’re trying to do now.”

4. Is Adam Lind returning?

Adam lind steroids photo
“No, I think that might have been a little click bait because he made an appearance on one episode because he showed up to one of Aubree’s softball games when we were filming,” Chelsea explains. “So they caught him on camera. I don’t think he’s coming back. Not that I know of.”

5. Even Chelsea gets online hate

“I’m very sensitive, and I just want people to like me. I care a lot,” she admits. Oh MOOD. “Luckily, our following is so supportive, and for the most part everyone is really sweet to us.”

6. Others have it worse

Houska chelsea
“We’re really lucky because I know some of the [‘Teen Mom’] girls get hit pretty hard by [haters],” Chelsea acknowledges. “It makes me feel really bad for them. But we all get it.” A lot of trolls are just being mean because it’s in their nature. Some, like Jenelle, get angry responses because they say and do bad things.

Adam Lind: Off Probation, Ready to Make Chelsea Houska’s Life Hell?

Tyler Johnson Adam Lind

It’s difficult to imagine Adam Lind abiding by any of the rules that govern polite society, but believe it or not, it seems Chelsea Houska’s deadbeat ex has spent the past several months in full compliance with the terms of his latest punishment.

Lind was arrested back in 2017 for domestic assault, but he got off with a slap on the wrist.

Chelsea and her family likely hoped that Lind would wind up serving hard time.

That didn’t turn out to be the case, but on the bright side, he was prohibited from contacting his past victims, including Houska.

Unfortunately, it seems Lind has now been let off his legal leash, and it’s anyone’s guess how that development might impact Chelsea’s future.

Take a look:

1. Back At It

Adam lind image
Before David Eason began his reign of terror, Adam Lind was widely considered the worst baby daddy in the Teen Mom universe.

2. Still The Worst?

Adam lind steroids photo
Unlike David, Lind has never been accused of beating and murdering the family dog, but he’s guilty of just about very other domestic atrocity you can imagine.

3. One Bad Dad

Adam lind and daughter aubree
Lind is the father of Houska’s eldest daughter, 10-year-old Aubree. He’s been absent for large segments of Aubree’s life, but that’s probably for the best.

4. Stepping In

Cole deboer and aubree as superheroes
Aubree gets all the fatherly support she needs from Chelsea’s husband, Adam DeBoer, who is reportedly considering adopting the girl.

5. Caught in the Middle

That may seem like an odd move, considering Aubree’s father is still alive — but it’s almost impossible to overstate how bad a guy Lind truly is.

6. At Least He Knows When He’s Not Wanted

Adam signed over his parental rights in 2018, and the DeBoer-Houska clan has been flourishing ever since.
