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

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Great idea
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 found out the tattoo symbolising my marriage turned out to be more permanent than the marriage itself. FML

I think it's cool
Today, after months of planning, I finally got my first tattoo: my cat's paw print. I love it so I showed my friends pictures. One said it looks like poop and the other said it looks like I have a disease. FML

Today, I finally found out that the tattoo on my lower back means "slut" in Chinese, instead of "good fortune" as I always thought it did. 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 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
damnit
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

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 showed my new tattoo to my friends. It's supposed to be a deep, philosophical quote in Latin, symbolizing strength and resilience. My friend, who happens to be fluent in Latin, started laughing hysterically. Turns out, it actually says, "You are dumb." FML

If you wanted it for years, then shouldn't you have invested that time for more research into it? .-.

Are you planning on studying urinalysis at least? It can be your passion in life, albeit a little gross.

OP wanted to get the outline of a box with a dot in the middle of it as a tattoo?...

I bet OP was pissed off when he found out.

I bet OP was full of piss and vinegar, and was pissed off when his buddies told him, "urine trouble."

You would think so, but no! YDI

Exactly my thoughts. If it took someone a days time to recognize that as a symbol for urine, surley its pretty common and can be found on the internet.

2, sadly, this isn't the first FML post about getting a tattoo they wanted for years and learn, afterwards, it is incorrect or meant something else. FML is good for laughs but there are lessons to be learned here.

22- Another one of those? Plus you used text-english, that's a double whammy of no-no's. Once again, commenting policy, read it.

@4, I would also say to never to get a tattoo that doesn't mean anything to you personally. My ancestors are all native Americans or western European, why would someone like me get a tattoo in an Asian writing? It makes no sense to me, but it happens all the time. Tattoos are suppose to mean something to you, that is why you have it permanently written on your body.

@35 I don't think they necessarily have to mean something significant to someone, but I do see ur point. I don't have a tattoo personally, but I know many people who get some tattoos simply for aesthetic reasons. some are meaningful and others are there just for artistic pleasure. to each his own I guess.

Why the **** would you not research the symbol before you ha it permanently etched into your skin?
stevenJB 25
Laser removal and the less recommended/painful burn the skin or cut it :/ but of course scars. That's all I know
ohSNAPyall 27
No way. The symbol represents one word; I doubt it's huge. Get back in the ink and cover it up. Message me a pic of your current tat, and I'll help you redesign it.

How many alchemists do you plan on meeting in life? If it's not that many then just say it has personal significance when people ask about it. Peeing is very personal. YDI though.

Looks like urine a wee bit of trouble now.
AlkaliSam 6
Very nice. The "urine" part is overused, but adding the "wee" in there made me giggle.

Yeah, I can see how a lot of peeple would jump on that pun. It's kind of the number one joke that immediately comes to mind.

Or it's the number two joke hehe ...I hate myself for that

How many FMLs is it going to take for people to realize that they need to fully research what they want to get a tattoo of.

That sucks. Should have spent more time pondering about it!
