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 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, 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

Today, a tattoo artist send me home without tattoo because the acne on my back has gotten so bad, he refused to work on such an 'unpredictable surface'. FML

If OP is a woman, why not just hide the tattoo with lipstick?

That would be pretty hard to make sure lipstick stays on thick the ENTIRE time you're working

If you're gonna tattoo yourself, at least tattoo smart.

You should've gotten it on the inside of your lip. That's where I got one and no one sees it and I have two jobs lol

I have to ask, what's the point? I'm honestly asking you, not trying to be a schmuck. OP, I think the general consensus is that you deserve it. Since alcohol probably got you in this mess, try to drink loads of it again! maybe you'll wake up without a tattoo and a brand new job.

Theyre only bad if they are vulgar, say cuss words, stupid in general, or are gang related. Personally I love tattoos, just not the ones that are stupid

Yes it will. I suggest letting your facial hair grow out to cover the mistake. Just keep your face lawn neatly trimmed and that is acceptable.

Save up for laser removal. I am no expert, having never had a tattoo, but I would imagine that tattoo removal is much more painful and expensive that actually getting the tattoo. Either that or spend the rest of your life flipping burgers, which frankly you deserve. How do you not realize that tattoos are permanent? My nephew is three years old and he knows that.

Correct. Laser tattoo removal takes many sessions (the number depends on the color and depth) at several hundred dollars per session. The patients I've seen say it hurts like a sunburn for a while.
