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

This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff

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

Deep ink
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
It’s just peach fuzz on my cheeks, but still

Fuzzy logic
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.

... You always have to shave for tattoos. You probably had really light peach fuzz but even that can get in the way....

Everyone has to shave! Hair follicles can **** up the ink going into the skin. Dick

Hair has to be shaved off for a tattoo whether it's the fine hair that covers the skin of most people or a damned sweater. Learn anatomy before showing how dumb you are.

I don't think of this much as an FML; my sister had to shave part of her arm for her tattoo because of the few light blonde hairs. It's normal, everyone has body hair.

They have to do that to everyone on any part of the body you want a tattoo. You should do your research op and be prepared of you're getting yourself into tattoos.

Every part has to be shaved to get a tat, even if there's little or no hair.

I don't understand why this is an FML. For any area, it needs to be completely shaven for a tattoo. Do you not expect to have hair on your back just because your a girl?
