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

lesson learned: dont get tattoos of people you are dating, not even your husband, because it can always end. But really tattoos are trashy, so youre pretty dumb for getting it in the first place

Children and blood relations only. Maybe not even the latter until after they've passed.

Tattoos on girls? It depends on the guy. There are some who don't like it, and there are others who buy the magazines FULL of tat-sporting chicks. And sorry, 36. Yours is kind of lame. But that's just my preference for stuff that's more out there. I'd prefer to have my own tattoo designed rather than just pick something. Even if I went with a Japanese symbol, I'd customize it somehow. To the OP: That really sucks. But hey, it's why you don't ever get a tattoo of a significant other, because you never know how long they'll be around for.

To #61- Uhm. If you think a paw print is lame, you probably shouldn't share that you'd get a Japanese symbol...that's the ultimate lame, generic, tattoo. OP: I'm sorry...at least you learned from the experience.

62 - read what I said. For one, I wouldn't get a generic symbol, like love or whatever. Plus, I'd incorporate it into a whole design. Not lame, less generic. Tattoos are all about the personalization and expression.

Yeah you never get a tattoo of the name of a person. Always a symbol. It's the basic rule for a tattoo. I'm rather surprised the artist let you
