Today, my dad came out of jail. He showed me his tattoo of a Bible on his chest with all his 13 kids' names on it. I'm the only one whose name is spelled wrong. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my dad found out I got a tattoo behind his back and is really really upset. When I got home from work my car wasn't in the driveway. When I asked my dad where it was, he replied "you'll get it back when your tattoo comes off." FML
Today, my 18-year-old son got his first tattoo. I would have loved it, if it wasn't a text on his hand with a glaring spelling mistake in it. FML
Today, I heard from my dad for the first time in over six months. It was through Facebook, in a message blaming my brothers and me for his horrible life, and in which he spelled my name wrong. FML
Today, my dad has dementia and has been getting my name wrong with increasing frequency. During one of his lucid moments, he ended up admitting those wrong names are actually of his other 7 kids, my half siblings to various women, 5 in this country and 2 in Europe, but I’m not to tell my mother. FML
Today, it's my birthday. My dad was supposed to take me to get a tattoo, but instead he went to the bar, got drunk, and told me how I was the biggest mistake he and my mom have ever made. 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 found a necklace that my parents had made for me. While looking at it, I realized my parents had spelled my name wrong. FML
Today, I found out that the phrase I got tattooed on my lower back is misspelled. FML
Today, I came to terms with the fact that my dad will die without knowing I have tattoos on my body. I'm afraid my dad will suffer a deadly heart attack due to the revelation, as he had two heart failures in the past. My dad is still the sort of person who thinks that people with tattoos are criminals. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

In jail AND can't even spell his kid's name right... Your dad sounds like quite the fella!

Is your name Vasectomy, because your dad evidently cannot spell that either?

Wow OP. Really blows. Make sure not to follow his steps. It must be hard to have a father you cannot look up to.

I know what you can get him for his next birthday - a gift certificate for laser tattoo removal to get rid of your incorrectly spelled name & then at Christmas after that you can give him a gift certificate to get your name done correctly. Make sure you supervise!

Or he could skip a step, save thousands of dollars, and get a coverup with it spelled correctly. Laser removal is terribly expensive.

Depending on if they could cover it up you are 100% correct.

When his birthday rolls around, offer to take him to get your name removed and fixed? Probably costly though. That sucks though OP. :c

57, Yes, it does fall on the tattoo artist but when someone gets a tattoo, especially with writing involved, it is best that the person, getting inked, makes sure the words/names are spelled correctly, while the tattoo is happening. Then again, he got it in jail and could have been too scared to tell the tattoo artist that he messed up a name. This is also common with Chinese symbols, that so many people get, to find out it means something completely different.

Just think, he made it that much easier for you to claim you aren't related.

There's a 13 member boy band named Super Junior and I can spell their names correctly. What's his excuse?
