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

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

I have a lot of tats and the ONLY place that didn't get shaved as part of the regular procedure was inside my lip. That wouldn't have ended well...

They tell everyone that :P Don't be offended. I am an extremely hairless person when it comes to my body, but I had to shave my lower abdomen when I got my first tattoo.

Every girl and boy has to shave for a tattoo. The hairs can mess up the ink. You are not any different then 99.9% of other females.

Everyone has to shave when they get a tattoo done, no matter where it's going or whether it's a woman or a bloke having it done. I'd more more shocked if they didn't ask you to

Aw, no biggie OP, don't worry, they shave it even if it seems you have no hair, don't feel bad about yourself!

You have to shave because it can cause an ingrown hair, and you can get an infection.
