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 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

Keep in touch

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

#14 Yes, yes they do. If they get a freaking name on their body, which is PERMANENT, then they deserve it when the relationship ends and they're left with the tattoo that they were idiotic enough to get. YDI big time.

The OP was married. Usually married couples don't intend on breaking up.

Never ever get a tattoo you may have second thoughts about.

this is why you only get tattoos of your children's names or of somebody who died. never someone who you don't know you will love forever.

I'm sorry =/ I'm with 147. You don't get married planning on it ending. Hence she doesn't deserve it. How is it bad to have had faith in your relationship?

@150: It's bad to get a tattoo based on your faith in your relationship. I don't care if you don't plan on it ending; people don't usually plan on any relationship ending if they're infatuated enough to get a tattoo for their relationship, but the fact remains that it could always end. Tattoos are permanent; relationships are not. Ever.

wow, so many people voted YDI. The point is not that they got a tattoo! The point is her marriage failed! You guys who voted YDI are morons

Today, I was meeting with my landlord to discuss buying the house I currently rent. It was going great, and he was going to give us an amazing deal. Until my idiot "socialist" teenage son barged in and attacked him, calling him a "bourgeoisie landowner." Now we're practically homeless and facing charges. FML

Today, at work, a drunk demanded a salad dressing we don't have. He marched into my kitchen and demanded I make it for him. When I said we didn't have the ingredients, he pushed the microwave over and stormed out. My boss came in and wrote me up for being "pushy and rude to customers". FML
