Today, I finally found out that the tattoo on my lower back means "slut" in Chinese, instead of "good fortune" as I always thought it did. FML

Today, I found out that the phrase I got tattooed on my lower back is misspelled. FML
Today, I found out the tattoo symbolising my marriage turned out to be more permanent than the marriage itself. FML
Today, I finally got a tattoo of an alchemy symbol that I've wanted for years. I also found out later that symbol stands for urine. FML
Today, I found out that the loving nickname my Chinese mother has been calling me my entire life essentially translates to "little retard". FML
Today, I showed my new tattoo to my friends. It's supposed to be a deep, philosophical quote in Latin, symbolizing strength and resilience. My friend, who happens to be fluent in Latin, started laughing hysterically. Turns out, it actually says, "You are dumb." FML
Today, I got my first tattoo. It's a large broadsword which runs the length of my spine. I went home to show it off, only to learn that the hilt on my neck looks just like a penis when the rest of it is covered with my shirt. 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 realized that the "holla" tattoo I stupidly got on my lower lip five years ago isn't fading as I expected it to, and will probably contribute to my unemployment for years to come. FML
Today, I was at a Chinese restaurant with my boyfriend and his family. After the meal, we all decided to open our fortune cookies and read them out loud. On mine, it said "You will change your mind many times before settling down." I didn't realize what it meant until after I'd read it to them. FML
Today, my boss asked me if I know anything about those tattoos that girl put on their lower backs. "You mean Tramp Stamps?" I responded. He looked at me with hatred in his eyes and said that his 18 year old daughter just got one. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You should get "stupid" in Chinese above it. Then your life would be complete

Always, always, always, investigate tattoos that are in other languages! Did you learn nothing from Big Bang Theory?

It amazes me how many people still use the term 'tramp stamp'. I don't particularly like tattoos placed at the bottom of the back in the centre either, but there's no way in hell I would even dream of using such a derogatory term over something that was quite frankly nothing to do with me. The thing is, some of the people who've posted those kinds of comments have features I personally find unattractive, but I'd never tell them that or be condescending about the choices they've made about how they want to look. "Erp derp itza tramp stamp!! That means your a ****!!!11" No. Judgemental pricks.

To me, a tramp stamp says **** whatever the symbol is you have inked...sorry if that's harsh but I just find tramp stamps ugly.

it's your own fault for not doing the research and getting a trap stamp in the first place!

I will never understand why people get words tattooed on themselves in a language they don't even speak! I speak Mandarin Chinese, and even then, I'd be wary about getting a tattoo in it... So silly.. YDI
