Today, my tattoo artist boyfriend of five months gave me my first tattoo in celebration of my 18th birthday. It was supposed to be a heart with my name in script. He spelled my name wrong. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boyfriend gave me the painting he had been working on. It was a heart with wings, my name, and the date we started dating. We have been dating for almost a year and a half. He misspelled my name. FML
Today, I got my first tattoo. It was a surprise for my fiancé: our names together over a heart. I went home but before I could show him, he said we had to have a "talk." So now my ex's name is tattooed on my back. The kicker? Turns out I'm allergic to the ink. FML
Today, my 18-year-old son got his first tattoo. I would have loved it, if it wasn't a text on his hand with a glaring spelling mistake in it. FML
Today, my boyfriend of 2 years took me to get a tattoo done with his name on. He paid for it. After it was done he told me it was over between us and he thought it'd be a nice reminder of him for me. FML
Today, I got piss drunk. Being a tattoo artist, I came to the intoxicated conclusion that I could save much more money doing my own tattoos on myself. I now have my ex-boyfriend's name permanently on my thigh. It's not even spelled right. FML
Today, I got a tattoo with my boyfriend's name on it. As we're coworkers, I showed it to him thinking he’d love it. He told me he couldn’t continue the relationship anymore since he realized he wants to fix things with his wife. Three hours of pain and 2 years down the drain. FML
Today, I went to get a tattoo of my girlfriend's name to surprise her. Halfway through the tattooing, she called and broke up with me. FML
Today on my birthday, my wife thought it would be a good idea to get matching tattoos. Our tattoo artist happened to be her ex-boyfriend. I sat and listened to them talk about their relationship and how they should stay in touch. FML
Today, I realized my husband and I have been fighting a lot lately, so to show him how much I care, I got a tattoo with his name on it. He hates it. FML
Today, I found out that the phrase I got tattooed on my lower back is misspelled. FML

I agree with #4, thats some sort of ego when you get your own name tattooed on your arm.

Why would you get your name tattooed on you? Just in case you forget it? And if you're boyfriend doesn't know how to spell your name after five months, then you should get rid of him. Wow, get some sense.

With all due respect, it's "spelt." A bit of hypocrisy when you're going on about a guy spelling your name incorrectly, then you use the wrong word. Just my view.

I work at the front desk of a college dorm. One night, some drunk girl wanted to write my name on the chalkboard. She asked me if Dan has one N or two.

I'm just wondering where people are getting that he freehanded the tattoo on her. NOWHERE in her story does it say he freehanded it.

#45 Both 'spelled' and 'spelt' are correct. Spelt is more common in Britain. 'Spelled' is the regular form and 'spelt' is the irregular form. Spell is just an irregular verb to begin with. Google it. http://www.usingenglish.com/reference/irregular-verbs/spell.html In my opinion, I actually think 'spelt' sounds really ignorant, kind of like, 'learnt' and 'spoilt.' Sounds like something a very uneducated person would say, "I ain't never learnt nothin' in school. I spelt my name right, though." But then again, it all depends on where you live. Spelled sounds ignorant in Britain whereas spelt sounds ignorant in America. Albeit, some words like 'knelt' sounds better over 'kneeled' and 'leapt' over 'leaped.' (My browser actually underlines 'kneeled' and 'leapt' in red for being spelled incorrectly/not words, haha. #52. You used 'spelled' in a completely different tense, which IS incorrect. "He didn't spelled," and "He spelled" are different usages of the word spell, one is (trying) to be used as past tense and one is correctly using the past participle in the past perfect tense.
