For life
Today, I was getting my first tattoo done. My parents told me it was a bad idea. My friends' parents told me it was a bad idea. I told them that people get tattoos done all the time and nothing goes wrong. Fifty minutes into the tattoo on my back, the artist said, "Oh shit, shit, shit. We can fix this." FML

Today, I shaved my legs and armpits for the first time in 6 weeks. Unfortunately, I didn't have a hot date, I just had my yearly gyno exam. FML

Inked
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'm going to get my first tattoo. Too bad it's inside my colon so the surgeon can mark the section to remove. FML

Today, I had to come to terms with having more facial hair than my boyfriend, despite being female since birth. FML
UnpredictableSurface
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

Today, my mom told me that I need to shave my beard because it's getting too long. This wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the fact that I'm a woman. FML

Today, my fiancé asked me to do some manscaping. I got a little overzealous and now I look like a 12-year-old boy with razor burn. FML

That is standard procedure when you get a tattoo. Calm the **** down. It's not the end of the world.

i agree with SnarfSnarf. even peach fuz can mess up a tattoo. its always a good idea and good practice to shave the area, even if it appears that its not 'hairy' im sure your not as hairy as it made you think. ;)

they didn't mean you're a hairy beast, they do that for everyone, even if you were getting your butt tattoed. don't feel bad.

Your life doesn't suck, that's standard. You're a little bit of a moron though.

The shop I work at, we shave the spot for you. I had to shave my hip for mine, my dad had to have his entire arm shaved for his sleeve, my mom had to have her arm shaved for her half sleeve. Get over it. It's part of the tattoo expirience. Everyone has to get shaved, so quit being a whiney prick. If you have a problem with having to shave a spot on your back for your tattoo, then you don't deserve a tattoo.

YDI for getting a tramp stamp

That's common for tattoos. Everybody has hair, however light. Don't think too much about it. But HOW the hell are you supposed to do your own back? I guess maybe go to a salon/spa and get your tattoo patch done.

Would you like some cheese with your whine? YDI for not being knowledgeable, and then freaking out about a standard procedure. Oy vey.

Well it is supposed to be shaved, but usually they do it. And they are doing their job as a tattoo artist to make sure it gets done right when it is shaved. All areas have to be shaved before being inked. If you didn't know, you should have asked. If they gave you a face like 'omg eww shave' then there might be a problem. Still, the whole asking you to get it shaved and them not doing it, that might have been the hint. Cuz every place I've been to, they do it right before inking.
