Today, I went to a tattoo artist to get what I thought would be really cute, elegant finger tattoos. I left with wobbly, blobby messes all over my fingers. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my quite squeamish girlfriend came with me to get my latest tattoo. She saw a few drops of blood, screamed in the tattooist's ear, and completely fucked up part of the outline. She had to alter the tattoo drastically to cover up the mess and now it just looks bad. 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, 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, my tattoo artist boyfriend of five months gave me my first tattoo in celebration of my 18th birthday. It was supposed to be a heart with my name in script. He spelled my name wrong. 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
Today, I was struggling through small-talk at a party where I knew nobody. Tattoos came up and I started talking about trendy, girly tattoos like feathers, anchors and infinity signs with stupid words in them. Turns out the girl I was talking to had all three. FML
Today, my girlfriend dumped me for the tattoo artist who gave us our matching "love" tattoos. FML
Today, I went to get a tattoo of my girlfriend's name to surprise her. Halfway through the tattooing, she called and broke up with me. FML
Today, I found out the tattoo symbolising my marriage turned out to be more permanent than the marriage itself. FML
Today, I got a tattoo with my boyfriend's name on it. As we're coworkers, I showed it to him thinking he’d love it. He told me he couldn’t continue the relationship anymore since he realized he wants to fix things with his wife. Three hours of pain and 2 years down the drain. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

OP, did you FIRST check the quality of the artist's work on other customers' fingers? Obviously not. YDI....

This is why I wear the designs I like on T-shirts.

Were they bad tattoo-ers or were you flinching and moving. We need to know who’s sucks.

Which one of you was drunk and had the shaky hands? Luckily, the mistake will fade away in a few weeks. Wait, did you say tattoo? You’ll be dealing with that crap for the rest of you life. Way to go, Einstein!

Actually, finger tattoos fade fairly quickly unlike tattoos on most any other part of the body.

Fingers never struck me as the best place to have tattoos to begin with.

finger tattoos dont last that long. they fade and you can always have them bled out.

Fingers are the worst. They're small, not flat and the skin is very thin... the ink doesn't stick in and it's hard to draw nice lines. So I guess it's an FML but YDI, kinda. You should have checked his work first. I hope for you it's not tattoed too deep so the ink will fade away eventually...

I mean, it sounds like you should've done more research on finger tattoos and the artist, but it is shitty that the artist didn't turn you away. Some of the best artists I know refuse to do finger tattoos - they're hard to do, super visible, and even if they do an amazing job, they end up turning to shit (or disappearing) within a couple years unless you're super lucky.

I have never heard of an elegant finger tattoo...

Right???? That's like saying "it was a respectful & classy neck tattoo."

You have to look at their past work and reviews first.
