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"

Tattoos are dumb. Everyone gets them to be "different" yet everyone has them now. At least your tattoo is "different".

.....Just like wearing underwear: Everyone does it so it must not be cool. Everyone wants so badly to be different....just like everyone else. :p Here's a thought: Why give a rat's ass how many other people like it, how cool it is this year, or if the masses all have it. Do YOU like tattoos, piercings, lipstick, iPhones, hot dogs, underwear, whatever? Then like them, get them, and ignore anyone who doesn't and be happy with your life's decisions. I have tattoos.... For Me. I like my tattoos, for me. I don't care if you don't, I don't care who else has one similar, I don't care if it makes me like someone else, I did it for me. It's even a cliché to "be different", because so many people are afraid of not being original or unique and they keep comparing themselves to others for similarities and contrasts. (continues.....)

^ No one is so unique that they have nothing in common with most everyone else in the world. A better use of time and energy would be to simply make peace with that and yourself and live happy regardless. Just my thoughts, this rant's not aimed at you RipSchitz, just sharing. :) Cheers.

Either way that's a dumb ass tattoo.

Whenever I hear the phrase "(insert adjective)-ass (insert noun)" I instinctively move the hyphen one word to the right. Ex: That is a dumb ass-tattoo.

Maybe next time you'll go to a tatto artist that knows how to spell.

And hopefully it's not you who can't even spell tattoo.

The irony of this comment kills me.

Since all tattoos basically say "I'm trash" yours just says "I'm trash, and illiterate".

Your ignorance makes me sad. Yes, there are "trashy" tattoos, but because people see their bodies as canvases doesn't make them trash. Get your close minded head out of your ass.

A tattoo doesn't dictate who a person is. It doesn't change your personality and it doesn't automatically make you a ***** (unless you get the ever so common tramp stamp). You're being incredibly closed minded. I have seen professionals who have extremely high positions, with tattoos. Does this mean they're automatically unprofessional and trash? Nooooope. Welcome to 2012, kid.

There is a reason the person is doing tattoos and not teaching in schools!

They show you the tattoo sketch when they draw it out for you and then again once it's on your body before they do it. YDI by not noticing it.

So you'll be walking in silence?

You ought to cut off your ear and mail it to the tattoo artist, then make him tattoo "Starry Night" around your ******-up tat. If you are going to Van Gogh, Van Gogh all the way! Oh, and get a Dutch person to teach you how to properly pronounce Van Gogh, you'll sound even more pretentious and I know that is popular with the ink crowd :)

The artist normally shows you the outline of the tattoo before they start with the actual ink... Did you not look? Because I've triple inspected all mine before they went at me with the needle.
