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

Halloween
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 found out that the phrase I got tattooed on my lower back is misspelled. 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

No ragrets
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? .-.

You wanted it for years without even knowing what it meant? What the hell is wrong with you? You know, I try to be nice, but you deserve the HELL out of that, you moron.

Why would you want a square with a dot in the middle????

What alchemy sign?!?!?! I may have dogged a bullet ._.

A square with a dot inside would be easiest to cover with another tattoo, but I think OP means this thing I found online, which is a cross with a C attached to the left.

That was a tad stupid of you, right? Research what you get on your body!

Why would you want something on your body forever? Especially if you didn't even know what it means. YDI.

ALWAYS look up so you know for sure what kind of tattoo you're getting
