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 found out the tattoo symbolising my marriage turned out to be more permanent than the marriage itself. FML
Today, I found out that the phrase I got tattooed on my lower back is misspelled. FML
Today, I got fired for having a visible tattoo on my neck. The tattoo in question is a scar from a surgery I had 2 months ago. The same one paid for by my employer's insurance and missed 2 weeks of work for. FML
Today, I finally figured out what I want to do for the rest of my life. Too bad my tattoos will prevent me from ever getting hired. Guess you were right, Mom. 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, my 20-year-old came whining to me, asking why his job interviews keep going so poorly. I had to delicately explain that the "PIMP SLAP" tattoo he had put on his right hand recently may have something to do with it. FML
Today, despite my warnings and knowing I hate them, my wife got a trashy tattoo of an eye on her ankle, like she’s Count Olaf. How is she going to get a job with that thing? FML
Today, I got into trouble at work because a customer complained about my face tattoo, I don't have a face tattoo but I do have one behind my ear. Nonetheless, I still got written up and had to cover it with a band-aid, which ripped out hair when I took it off. FML
Today, I woke up after a long night of drinking with my friends. I vaguely remembered visiting a tattoo parlour, but nothing prepared me for the sight of the words "YOLO" and "MOFO" tattooed across the fingers of my left and right hands. Now I'm officially a bandwagoning douchebag. FML
Today, I was looking at tattoos and fell in love with a really cool looking one, so I decided to get it. I later showed it to a friend who is a cop. He informed me that it is a gang tattoo. I think I just put a target on my ankle. FML

Getting inked is cool if done well and tastefully. In your case YDI for choosing so poorly.

I have 2 tattoos. Both are small and only one is visible, but I can cover it if I need to. I'll never understand why people get giant rainbow dragons across half their body and then get all pissy when they don't get hired somewhere though. Tattoos are not professional looking and everyone should think about that before getting one. If you want one, make sure it's somewhere not visible or somewhere you can cover. Otherwise don't be surprised if you have a hard time getting a job.

I have a small wrist tattoo that I've had 4 years and none of mine has faded either an my guy said I'd need it touched up periodically too. Some of us are just special I guess.

They have tattoo coverup and it works great, you should get some.

It doesn't have to contribute to your unemployment. You can get the tattoo removed, or filled in. Many people have cosmetic tattoo, so you can get a consultation for free and see if they could do anything for you. Or you could work in a place like a bar or shop where tattoos are celebrated. Really, it's probably not as ridiculous as you think. I think it's brave that you made such a statement like that because so many people would never be free enough to take a chance like that. Many people just follow the crowd, afraid to be themselves. I wish I could see more unafraid people just being themselves.

It's great to be yourself, but don't expect to get a professional job like that.

Depending on what kind of employment you want tattoos can be a bad idea. There is nothing wrong wit getting a tattoo but as far as locations go you shouldn't get anything that will show when you are wearing a suit.

I agree. I will never date someone with tattoos I just think they're ugly. My opinion only. If you have them good for you but they are not for me or my future spouse.

why the blazes would you expect it to fade?

Because tattoos do eventually fade. Not disappear, just fade. Sometimes it takes longer than others but unless it gets retouched a tattoo will fade over time
