Today, I was getting my first tattoo done. My parents told me it was a bad idea. My friends' parents told me it was a bad idea. I told them that people get tattoos done all the time and nothing goes wrong. 50 min into the tattoo on my back, the artist says "Oh shit, shit, shit. We can fix this." FML

The tattoo is on my shoulder blade, and it's a Celtic knot that I drew up myself. The artist was filling in the shading in the knot after finishing the outline when he started filling in an area on the wrong side of the line. He ended up fixing it so the design came out symmetrical, and it looks really good. No regrets and no worries.

Yeah, bad idea... sounds like if you try it again you should do a little research to figure out the best tattoo parlor in your area...

the only way you would deserve whatever happened to you is if you didn't bother to research this particular tattoo parlor first. otherwise, all of those saying OP desreved it is only saying it BECAUSE of the unfortunate situation at hand.

getting a tattoo isnt a bad idea. getting a tattoo at a place you havent thoroughly investigated/had recommendations for is a bad idea. i hope he did manage to fix it! no one i've ever known or myself has ever had a problem like that. i agree with #8, doing your research & being patient is soo important to tattoos.

(Insert some variation of a "How is this a FYL" of "This isn't real because..." or "Well you should have..." comment here)

So... I want a tattoo when I get older. Maybe I shouldn't without someone with me. Thanks for the heads up! And he SAID he could fix it. Maybe he can make it look like a unicorn somehow. Listen to #8 and #13. ;D

Nothing about getting a tattoo is a bad idea, as long as you're sure of what you want to get. Your only problem was going to a place/artist that didn't have much experience.
