All the definitions I've seen here have a positive connotation, which is completely wrong. The phrase has always had a very definite negative connotation, and means to be supremely screwed, screwed beyond all comprehension. The original phrase was "screwed, blewed and tattooed".
"Screwed" essentially means "cheated" here, much as it does today.
"Blewed" meant "lost or been robbed of". The word's origin is from the German "blauen" so it's actually related to "blue", not "blew", and meant that something had vanished (into the blue). (According to "A Dictionary of Slang, Jargon & Cant" By Charles Godfrey Leland, published in 1889.)
"Tattooed" refers here to a beating with very rapid blows, in the same sense as a military tattoo, which is a rapid pattern on a drum.
So, the phrase literally meant "cheated, robbed and beaten".

I invested my life's savings in a fraudulent investment scam, and now I'm screwed, blued and tattooed.

Get the screwed, blued and tattooed mug.A mexican tattoo is when you take a person and throw a rope around his neck, then you take that rope and tie it to your saddle. You slap the horse on the ass and put a strain on the neck. Once he gasps you take the spur on your boot and place it on his neck all while pushing your heel back piercing him with the spur.

Get the pyro tattoo mug.An ink design disfiguring the lower back. Low self-esteem, a need to be noticed and alcohol are the basic requirements before one is applied. Commonly done by strippers, porn stars and women over 30 trying to relive their 20's. These tatoos, that come in a variety of shapes and designs, gives a man something entertaining to look at other than the back of her head while buttfucking. A constant reminder of how shitty ones life is. It is highly likely that the Jerry Springer Show is where you may find your 15 minutes of fame.
