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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I got a tattoo with my boyfriend's name on it. As we're coworkers, I showed it to him thinking he’d love it. He told me he couldn’t continue the relationship anymore since he realized he wants to fix things with his wife. Three hours of pain and 2 years down the drain. 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, I realized my husband and I have been fighting a lot lately, so to show him how much I care, I got a tattoo with his name on it. He hates it. 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 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, my boyfriend of 2 years took me to get a tattoo done with his name on. He paid for it. After it was done he told me it was over between us and he thought it'd be a nice reminder of him for 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 fiancé freaked when he noticed the tattoo on my wrist, and demanded to know when I got it. It was two years before we even started dating. FML
Today, my girlfriend dumped me for the tattoo artist who gave us our matching "love" tattoos. FML
Today, I asked my boyfriend what he'd think of me getting his initials tattooed over my heart. "That's awesome, babe," he answered enthusiastically. "But could you get them on your ass instead?" FML

This is why you never tattoo a name on yourself. Try something symbolic, that way if this happens, it's just a tattoo and doesn't have to mean anything anymore

That's the reason why the only names you tattoo on yourself are your kids and dead family members

*sigh* Tattoos of your lovers are always the kiss of death in the relationship.

#105: Even then it can potentially backfire. I mean, magine that you had an uncle who died, one you actually liked enough to get a tattoo in his memory. Now imagine that about a year later it turns out that Sweet Old Uncle Arnie has spent the better half of his life molesting children... even dead people can mess up the bond you had with them, from the grave. Also your kids: however hard you hope they don't, even they can do something that will make you hate them and regret having the tattoo. (I'm talking serious stuff here, the parent-kid myth, **** that; people can do evil shit, even against their own blood.) So, if you must.. a memorial tattoo is imo about the only name tattoo you may consider actually getting if said person meant the world to you. Having said that: #87: Hi! I'm one of them.

That was a bad decision on your part. I'm sorry that happened, though, that's really horrible. :/

18, 54, I totally disagree with you. Tattoos are awesome if well thought out and done in moderation, I have met many girls with tattoos that had some amazingly artistic designs and applications. Personally, I have none but only because I haven't seen something I would like on me (yet). To each their own. Getting someone else's name however... serious fail.

well i guess you learned your lesson. luckily you can prob get it covered up with something else. I did something for my boyfriend with a tattoo. I have two robots on my side. The first one I got is a sad robot holding a dead flower. About a year later I got a happy robot giving the other one a living flower. The second one was a blue heart because my boyfriend now has blue eyes and he has made my life much happier. Go with something like that next time so when people look at it they wont know. AND #18 i completely DISAGREE. I have a couple tattoos and all my boyfriends have loved them. Not every man hates tattoos. I love tattoos on men and women. not all over but a few is sexy.

#1: That's exactly what I did. My hubby and I have been together for 10 years, married for 4 and I still wouldn't get his name tattooed on me. Instead I got a very small butterfly, because every piece of jewelry he's ever bought me is a butterfly. The only situation where I can see getting someone's name tattooed on you is if it's your child. Otherwise, you're just an idiot.

Bummer. That's why you don't get names tattooed on you.
