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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 could get a line across "no" and it won't seem so much as a mistake!

and here is a lesson on why you never allow free hand. my tattoos were drawn, approved, stenciled on, and approved again. if I would have said I wanted it changed after seeing the stencil, it wouldn't be permanently on my body....I'd flip shit if anything were misspelled on me.

I have four tattoos that involve words and none of them have spelling or grammatical errors. Even if your artist doesn't use a stencil printed ahead of time and draws freehand on your body -- you should never get a tattoo without SOME kind of stencil -- you should be checking it over and double checking while the process is happening. Sorry, but you deserve this one.

That tattoo will seem a bit dated in 20 years

Some people get tattoos so that in the future they can look at them and remember/think about something in their past

"Spelt"

That's a correct spelling in the UK.

I thought tattoos were usually drawn on temporarily first, so you get a chance to see it "on the canvas" so to speak, before comitting to it, and the tattoo artist using that as a guide for the actual tattoo? YDI for not verifying it looked correct on your body before going for the needle.
