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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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

thats why you don't get people who aren't relatives or your kids tattooed on you. EVER you don't know if they will stick around.

Didn't really feel like counting, but about I'd say about 50 of the 78 comments all say, "You never get someone's name (unless it's a family member)!!! OMG"....I think after the first one, the rest of them are just a little bit unnecessary. Really annoying having to read all of that over and over again.

Okay, first off. I think it was kinda stupid to get someone's name tattooed on you. Just get a boyfriend with the same name. ;) I joke. But I hope your insurance covers tattoo removal...

*shrugs* You guys can think my tattoo is lame if you want... but it is just the starting point to what I want. It was also my first tattoo and it isn't smart to do a huge design all in one go. I mean, what if I had turned out to be allergic like the OP? And at least my tattoo has meaning to me and isn't someones name. I also didn't just 'pick it out' of a flash book. It is simple, but I drew it and the rest of the design that will eventually be inked when I get the money.

dumb idea never do that its a curse to the relationship but you should just get it filled in then the names are gone and you just have a heart
