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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I met my brother's girlfriend. We got talking, and we got onto the subject of tattoos. I said how much I hated tramp stamps, and how they make girls look trashy. She said, "Like this?" and showed me hers. FML
Today, I decided I was going to dump my needy girlfriend. I was about to break the news when she stopped me. She showed me her new tattoo she had gotten. Our names, surrounded by a love heart spread across her back. She reckons I should get a matching one. FML
Today, I was looking at tattoos and fell in love with a really cool looking one, so I decided to get it. I later showed it to a friend who is a cop. He informed me that it is a gang tattoo. I think I just put a target on my ankle. FML
Today, I went on my third date with a great guy. We finally got round to talking about his tattoos. All 57 are related to his best friend. All of them. The best friend he never stops talking about. Somehow I don't think this will work out. FML
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
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 on my birthday, my wife thought it would be a good idea to get matching tattoos. Our tattoo artist happened to be her ex-boyfriend. I sat and listened to them talk about their relationship and how they should stay in touch. FML
Today, my girlfriend dumped me for the tattoo artist who gave us our matching "love" tattoos. FML
Today, my girlfriend had a bitch fit at me because I laughed at her idea of getting the Cullen family tree tattooed on her back. FML
Today, I was showing my unique new tattoo to my friends when a man approaches me with his digital camera and asks if he could take a picture of the tattoo for his website. I agreed. I find out later that it's a site about ugly tattoos. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Tattoos is one subject I don't insult, because people have them for personal reasons I know nothing about.

If she likes them, cool. But she can't get mad if people make fun of her for following the pack. My favorite is "refuse to sink" with an anchor. ANCHORS SINK PEOPLE.

Just a general rule for parties. When talking to someone you don't know, avoid passing strong judgments on minor things that lots of people have. Otherwise you'll probably offend someone you don't want to offend over something you don't care that much about. It's one thing to say "I hate animal and child abusers," no one will disagree, and if they do no one wants anything to do with them. Saying "People who get these tattoos are stupid," just makes you seem like a bitch to the person with the tattoos and most of their friends. Not a great introduction, so save it until you know them better.

Hahah I hate unoriginality. My most recent tattoo says "know hope". It's a bit more original than birds flying out of a feather, or an infinity sign with the word "love" incorporated into it.

oh, but dont mistake my last comment...its definitely the chicks fault for choosing ink that doesnt mean a thing to her, or that she just picked off the wall, internet, or someone elses body....i think tatts dont ALWAYS have to have some deep meaning or significance to whom ever gets them..but i do however think you should ATLEAST (even if you only attempt to) make it origional or different from some random picture you may have chosen somewhere...even if only a little....well, that is, if you cant just BE origional :]

I have a fouled anchor. But you have no clue why or how, so in general, it's a smart idea to hold of on the judgment before you know those things. So when I say, its for my dead grandfather who was a commander in the Navy, it's you who looks like an idiot.

Wouldn't change an opinion depending on who you're talking to...

I don't understand why people refuse to voice their opinions on things like tattoos.
