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?

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.

you can't sue for tattoo mistakes.

He didn't ask you to look at the stencil after he put it on to make sure everything was right? I've worked as a professional tattoo artist, we always ask if everything looks right, placement, spelling, everything, before we use start the ink. If he didn't, he's a shitty professional. Unless you didn't go to a pro or ok'd the check. Either way, that sucks. On the bright side, if all he messed up was "no" instead of "know" it shouldn't be too hard to add the letters, since they're at the beginning and end of the word and would even each other out. But I recommend getting that fix done elsewhere. Edit: just realized he mispelled Jon too. That really sucks.

this one is all on you, you should've looked at the outline before he made the transfer paper. if the tattoo artist didn't let you look at it before hand them he's not a professional

Yet another reason why tattoos are useless and embarrassing.

Tattoos are not useless and embarrassing. A properly done tatoo can make a great statement and look amazing, if you get a stupid tatoo, or have it done by someone who doesn't know what they're doing, it can be embarrassing. Before getting one you should definitely seriously consider if it's something you want on your body forever.

I'm not the slightest bit embarrassed by my ink.

Ah, so because the minority of tattoos get messed up due to human error, that makes all of them terrible and embarrassing? A few cars types fail due to faulty manufacturing, does that mean all cars are faulty and unreliable and shouldn't be trusted? Have you ever seen a well done tattoo, they can look amazing. Tattoos are art, they are drawings and pictures that are a creative expression of the individual and are intended to be appreciated for beauty or emotional power. The only difference between tattoos and other art such as paintings and sculptures is that tattoos go on the human body, rather than a canvas or carved from stone. I think it's also pretty offensive to say tattoos are useless and embarrassing with regards to tattoos artists. Good ones put a lot of effort and pride into their work, they are artists just like any other, not just anybody can do that job, it takes real talent.

When I get tattoos, they draw the image, show me the image, and I approve it or correct it. I don't understand how this could have happened, but you deserved it if you weren't checking his work.

Better tattoo studios do a transfer first so you can inspect the final design before the tattoo begins.

You were asking for this to happen. It is known.

Is it bad that I noticed the wrong Jon/John before I noticed the actual grammar mistake?
