Today, I showed off my new tattoo to my friends. Too bad it says "Walk Earless" now instead of "Walk Fearless." That's right, I'm now supporting Van Gogh. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I woke up after a long night of drinking with my friends. I vaguely remembered visiting a tattoo parlour, but nothing prepared me for the sight of the words "YOLO" and "MOFO" tattooed across the fingers of my left and right hands. Now I'm officially a bandwagoning douchebag. FML
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
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 complimented a guy on his Van Gogh costume. As it turns out, he had an infection in his ear. FML
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 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 showed my aunt and mother my tattoo. They both burst out laughing. 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
Today, I was showing my unique new tattoo to my friends when a man approaches me with his digital camera and asks if he could take a picture of the tattoo for his website. I agreed. I find out later that it's a site about ugly tattoos. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Generally, you should go to a tattoo artist that can spell to avoid such things as this happening.

Better than saying "Falk Wearless"

Those things are permanent. Go to a professional tattoo artist next time, despite costing more, they have talent.

Most of the time anyway, my parents know a professional tattoo artist who caused a lot of brave soldiers to have tattoos reading 'Operation Dessert Storm'... which actually sounds quite tasty.

So they like their sweets, nothing wrong with that

Being an army brat, I found this funny :)

You had to have known what it would say. It is part of the process when getting a tattoo for them to show you what it will look like before begining the inking. This helps them know to make sure the tattoo is in the right spot and the exact way you want it. You would have seen it was "Earless" long before he began to ink. YDI.

I'm sure there are worse things in life than getting a tattoo misspelled.

The question is, why the hell would you want a tattoo that says "Walk Fearless" in the first place? Getting a "badass" tattoo doesn't make you badass. Besides, it should be "Walk fearlessly".

Maybe it is a saying or a quote that has a lot of meaning to OP. People question my choice of tattoo often, only to find out it is dedicated to a friend who passed away. I don't think it's very kind to judge someone in this manner for something they chose/like. Minus the missing letter that is.

I'm gonna judge the people with the Twilight tattoos pretty hard. Especially the lady who got Wardo's eyes tattood on her back. It's creepy, and one of the advantages of walking behind people is you DON'T have to make eye contact with them.

LadyLaala - what kind of meaningfulness could "walk fearless" possibly have? It's a stupid, nonsensical phrase. Rattus is right. Don't get a stupid tattoo just because it's "meaningful". That just makes it more stupid.

True story bro!

A comma can fix the whole thing. Walk, Earless. Strange, but grammatically correct.

Thank you, Doc! I was checking to see if anyone else was going to comment on the missing "-ly." Permanent bad grammar is permanent.

Well it's not my tattoo, so obviously I'm not going to have an answer for that.. Maybe you should ask OP the answer to that one. Who are you to judge what someone else should think is meaningful?

Awwwwwww…get the tat fixed? Did you not see it once he was done the tat? My tattoo says Strength. I was anal about him misspelling it and not doing it correctly.

Why bother fixing it when he can just cut his ear off?
