For life
Today, I was getting my first tattoo done. My parents told me it was a bad idea. My friends' parents told me it was a bad idea. I told them that people get tattoos done all the time and nothing goes wrong. Fifty minutes into the tattoo on my back, the artist said, "Oh shit, shit, shit. We can fix this." FML

Today, I shaved my legs and armpits for the first time in 6 weeks. Unfortunately, I didn't have a hot date, I just had my yearly gyno exam. FML

This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff

Inked
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'm going to get my first tattoo. Too bad it's inside my colon so the surgeon can mark the section to remove. FML

Fuzzy logic
Today, I had to come to terms with having more facial hair than my boyfriend, despite being female since birth. FML
UnpredictableSurface
Today, a tattoo artist send me home without tattoo because the acne on my back has gotten so bad, he refused to work on such an 'unpredictable surface'. FML

Today, my mom told me that I need to shave my beard because it's getting too long. This wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the fact that I'm a woman. FML

Today, my fiancé asked me to do some manscaping. I got a little overzealous and now I look like a 12-year-old boy with razor burn. FML

That is standard procedure when you get a tattoo. Calm the **** down. It's not the end of the world.

It doesnt mean you are hairy. When I got my tattoo on my upper arm, they shaved it first, there isnt very much if any noticeable hair there. They always shave you before a tattoo. Im not voting either on this, its not a ydi it because its standard and your life isnt ****** because its standard... Maybe its a ydi for not knowing that they always shave you before tattooing you. Do some research maybe?

I put ydi because OP should have done research before booking her tattoo

16-You speak like you know from experience. Do you in fact have a hairy back and nobody wanted to be with you?

you're supposed to shave your self before you get tattooes.

Thats just procedure, its nothing personal. The top of my foot had to be shaved for mine, and the top of my mates back had to be shaved for hers. This is truely a stupid FML, I'm off to discuss small children wearing offensive tshirts.

Oh I hope that doesn't happen to me. I can't see my back so I wouldn't know-- Wait what? STANDARD? #13 are you serious? You'd have to shave every day because the hair will grow back worse wouldn't it? =S

If you only shave an area once it wouldn't grow back hairier than before. It's when you start shaving an area regularly that it starts growing back thicker and darker. Since this is a one time shave the make sure the area is smooth, it should be fine to grow back as normal.

You are not smart, so stop pretending to be; you're just embarrassing yourself.

I agree with #71.

Technically speaking, shaving hair doesn't make it grow back any thicker or darker. It only APPEARS that way because it grows back with a blunt edge from the razor instead of a natural tapered edge.

that might be the dumbest thing i've ever heard in my life, even after this idiot's original post.

if you think that's the dumbest thing you've ever heard, maybe you should try listening to yourself. because that was actually a fact.

I just got a tattoo on my upper back between my shoulder blades. It's been a week and a half and it's not "growing back". The hair is fine and like peach fuzz so it's not going to come back.

thank you 76. I wish people would stop spreading this old wives tale. it's so stupid. it's like saying not to cut your hair or it'll grow darker and thicker. it's the same thing. when you think about it doesn't even make any sense. how will it grow thicker from shaving. jfc.

I'm pretty sure every girl has hair on her back. Get over it.
