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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out that the phrase I got tattooed on my lower back is misspelled. 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, 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
Today, I went out drinking with my tattoo artist brother-in-law. I was so wasted that I agreed to let him try working on me. I woke up with a tattoo of an animated marijuana plant smoking a cigarette. This'll look just great when I'm defending clients in court. FML
Today, I found out the tattoo symbolising my marriage turned out to be more permanent than the marriage itself. 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, my boyfriend of 2 years took me to get a tattoo done with his name on. He paid for it. After it was done he told me it was over between us and he thought it'd be a nice reminder of him for me. FML
Today, I got my first tattoo. It was a surprise for my fiancé: our names together over a heart. I went home but before I could show him, he said we had to have a "talk." So now my ex's name is tattooed on my back. The kicker? Turns out I'm allergic to the ink. FML
Today, I finally got a tattoo of an alchemy symbol that I've wanted for years. I also found out later that symbol stands for urine. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Never drink alcohol again, please. You obviously can't handle it. YDI.

Even intoxicated, why the hell would you want an ex's name tattooed on you? That's a different level than piss drunk stupid.

Well aren't you a special bunny OP. maybe next time you should lock all your tattoo stuff away when you drink to save yourself from more embarrassing episodes. Or maybe get rid of the stuff altogether to save other people from you.

First of all there are coverups. Second of all, all the tattoo artist I know don't pay usually for their tattoos anyways... You sound like a dumbass who bought a machine online and now thinks that they're a tattoo artist. Hopefully being riddled with crappy tattoos you did to yourself will discourage anyone from being stupid enough to get tattooed by you.

Artists always do the most weird things...

You're a tattoo artist. You should be able to cover it up fairly easily. Just make sure you are sober this time.

I don't understand why the majority answer is YDI. OP was drunk, can you control yourself when drunk? No, so it was an unfortunate incident, and hopefully OP learns to lock her stuff up next time, but FHL

So you can't control yourself at all while you're drunk? Seems like someone shouldn't be drinking then. Of course everyone will have stupid ideas while they're drunk, but you should be able to process what you're doing and decide whether or not that's the best action for you in the future. It's no excuse when people say "Oh, I did that because I was drunk..." for stupid pranks or cheating or whatnot. You should be able to think about the future when you get the urge to act like a drunken fool.

Um, heddurhowza, YOU ARE AN IDIOT. It's ydi because OP CHOSE to get drunk. It's not like she involuntarily downed enough alcohol to make her qualify as drunk. Next time think a little before you post a comment, brainiac.

Man, this really sucks. I would say YDI, but I think the consequence outweighs the action... FYL

"Today, I got piss drunk." YDI. Immediately. So. Immediate.
