Today, I found out the tattoo symbolising my marriage turned out to be more permanent than the marriage itself. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 found out that my wife is leaving me for a tattoo artist. I was in rehab and she met him getting a tattoo as a surprise for me. 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, my girlfriend dumped me for the tattoo artist who gave us our matching "love" tattoos. FML
Today, I found out that the phrase I got tattooed on my lower back is misspelled. 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 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 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, 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

#122 - YDI = you deserve(d) it I feel bad for ya, even though I'm a firm believer in not having other people involved in your tattoos at all - symbols, initials, names, etc. Only kids, ever. And maybe not even then.

Think about it this way It's a lesson well learned i mean NOW you know that you shouldn't go and get a tattoo of your love/loved one unless you've been married to that person for more then a couple of years =] But then again FYL Just get it removed? lol, and if you don't get it removed then keep it.... and when people ask you about it be like... "yeah this is the ass hole i got married too." or somewhere along that line Anyways lol, don't go FYL over it; really you'll move on ;)

Tattooing a symbol is fine, it should mean something - not just look good or suit you. However you can, or should, make your only symbolization and interpretation of it. I wouldn't tattoo something for my marriage for the simple reason that I don't think it's a wise idea, even though I've meet my perfect woman. You might think marriage lasts forever but the truth is that most of them don't. Tattoos should be personal and not something you should do because of your current situation, because they should last forever. As an offside note I don't really get people that gets chinease letters tattooed. Guess what? None knows what it means, for them it's just a symbol and you might as well get something unique that really looks good and have it symbolize what you want said. Don't be generic! Still gave you a YLF because of the end of the marriage and that you can't cover the tattoo up, love sure makes us do stupid things. Try work it into a motive and have it symbolize something else instead if you can.

Anytime you get tattoos signifying a relationship the relationship falls apart. I don't know why, it's just the way it works. Sorry to hear it though.

3 things I learned from my parents: 1. Gum is a pain to get out of your hair. 2. Look both ways before crossing the street. 3. Tattoos don't rub off. Never, ever, ever get some one's name tattooed on you, unless they are either deceased or your children, because those don't just go away, like an ex/possible ex might, and every relationship has the possibility of ending, no matter how in love you are.
