Today, I got my giant Game of Thrones tattoo finished. Despite the fact that I had spelt it out for him, the artist wrote "You no nothing John Snow." It's the focal part of the tattoo. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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 found out that the phrase I got tattooed on my lower back is misspelled. FML
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
Today, I showed off my new tattoo to my friends. Too bad it says "Walk Earless" now instead of "Walk Fearless." That's right, I'm now supporting Van Gogh. FML
Today, I was showing off the Mount Kilimanjaro tattoo that I got after climbing it. It's a silhouette of the mountain and the word "KILI" in bold. My girlfriend told her friends it was actually the Lonely Mountain from The Hobbit, and that Kili was my favorite dwarf. FML
Today, I went to a costume contest as Jon Snow from Game of Thrones. I won, which was nice, until I was told that the only flaws in my "Samwell Tarly" outfit were my long hair and wrong sword. 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 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, my girlfriend's dad refused to give me permission to marry his daughter because I'm "covered in gang tattoos" and he doesn't want his daughter marrying a criminal. The only tattoos I have are the Game of Thrones direwolf and a quote from the Lord of the Rings movies. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I guess your tattoo artist knows nothing either.

Brilliant! With the way English is… erm, evolving, your tattoo will become more correct over time. You'll have fun explaining how it was originally misspelled to future generations using nothing but emoji.

"Giant Game of Thrones tattoo " YDI

My thoughts exactly.

They deserve it for not verifying the spelling before the artist starting tattooing, not because they decided to get a giant GoT tattoo. It's something they like and they're allowed to put whatever they want on their body and you really shouldn't judge them for the tattoo they get. I wouldn't ever get a GoT tattoo because, yeah, I like the show and I could even love it some point (I only had a few months of HBO and didn't have time to watch it all so I have to find a way to watch season 3-ish and beyond) but I'm aware, for me, it'd be a fad type of love and there will come a time when I don't love it anymore - I just like it - and then the tattoo would be a waste/lose its' meaning but that doesn't mean it's true for this person. They should be able get the tattoo they want with no judgement or YDIs for their tattoo choice. Bring on the downvotes (because I can imagine that's what's gonna happen here).

Same here. In my defence it is very early in the morning for me.

I have several tattoos and have gotten them all at different places, and in every place they make you look in the mirror at the placement and to get the full affect of how the tattoo will look. Unless the place you went to didn't do this, I don't think it's entirely the tattoo artists fault. If it's the focal point of the tattoo, you would've noticed it on the artists sketch even. Before he puts the stencil on your skin.

I agree with what you're saying, but either way it is still the tattoo artist's fault. Op had literally spelt it out for them and they still managed to screw it up. They obviously didn't show op the stencilling or did this free hand, and if this is op's first tattoo, maybe they thought it was normal to give the drawing and let them do it free hand or something, seeing as the tattoo artist is the expert (usually) and understandably someone you would trust to know what they are doing. I agree op should've double checked, but whether he did or didn't, it's definitely still the tattoo artist's fault.

Ouch. If you got it on the cheap from a dodgy artist, YDI.

Sorry but YDI ALWAYS proofread / go over the template once they apply it

What if it was freehanded though?
pinkwho 13
If it's a "giant" tattoo as OP stated, i'm guessing it is NOT freehand.

It depends on what you mean by Giant on how terrible that is. If it takes up your shoulder it sucks but not a ton of people will see it more than likely if it takes up your whole back/front then that sucks terrible. Sorry about the bad tattoo op it sucks but hopefully its in a place that isn't constantly disable?

Did you not look at the stencil before/after he put it and started to ink you? Part of me says ydi for not checking it. I never let my artist work on me without checking the stencil first and he's been putting ink in me for 20 yes. Smh

right!

I feel like you should have looked at it before it was finished...
