Today, I got my belly button pierced. The guy put a small dot with a sharpie right above the center of my belly button so he knew exactly where to pierce. I also have a small freckle noticeably to the left of center of my belly button. Guess which one he pierced through. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I spontaneously got my ear pierced. By spontaneously, I mean my 12-year-old sister stabbed one of her earrings into my ear while I was sleeping. She claimed the freckle on my earlobe looks "exactly the same" as the hole from her ear piercing. FML
Today, I got a new piercing because I was trying to be spontaneous. Now, I realize its placement is off and I hate it. FML
Today, I got a nipple piercing. My girlfriend thought I was pranking her with a fake piercing, because I wouldn’t be "daft enough" to get a real one, and she yanked it off, or rather through, my nipple. Yes, it cut my poor nip in half, and I now have two nipples where once I had only one. FML
Today, I got my eyebrow pierced. By a fish hook. FML
Today, I went in to see my piercer. He took one look at my piercing I got a few months ago and laughed saying "What a shit job, I'm sorry but that's pretty crappy because it's not even straight!" I then had to awkwardly explain it was indeed him who had pierced me. FML
Today, I had a spur of the moment idea to go have my nose pierced. The piercer made sure to tell me how easily the little stud could get caught or hung up. I spent all day stressing over it only to scratch my nose and rip it out. Now I have a $40 bleeding hole in my nose. FML
Today, my father made his bellybutton talk. In front of my new boyfriend. FML
Today, I got my lip pierced. By the orthodontist. FML
Today, I went to a seamstress to be fitted for my wedding dress and left with a pierced nipple. FML
Today, I learned that you can pierce your balls. However, sitting on a thumbtack is not the best way to find this out. FML

Fail. What idiot can't tell the difference between a marker and a freckle?

My guess: He pierced through the sharpie dot?

You didn't notice when your belly button was being pierced that it was off-center? Or were you on some sort of pain meds and didn't feel the piercing? I've never gotten a piercing before, but from what I've heard it's painful enough to notice what's going on, and I don't see how you couldn't have corrected the guy... still I might be ignorant of a key fact. Other than my confusion, this does suck, but it's not an FYL.

That's funny, I have a little freckle to the left of my belly button too. But your freckle sounds kind of gross for it to be possibly mistaken with a dot of a black -I assume- sharpie.

The piercing artists usually ask you if you're satisfied, and if you're not, they can fix it. I hope you didn't keep your mouth shut if they asked you. They won't get mad if you're not satisfied, it's their job to make sure the customer is happy.

I think you forgot the rest of the story... "Then he re-pierced it where it should have been, and it looks fine now."

#1, who the **** brainwashed you? I know many people who have their navels pierced who aren't *****, me included. I've only had sex with one guy, and I've been with him for over 7+ years now, so I really doubt I'm a *****. Get your head out of you ass every once in awhile and come to the real world.. OP, I'm really sorry that happened. I too have a freckle right by my belly button.. Luckily, the black sharpie looked different from my brown freckle. You could always let it grow shut and get it re-done. But I highly doubt that it is that noticeable to begin with.

Well, you got your freckle removed. Optimism!

Just like the recent tattoo fml... it was a bad idea.
