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

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

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's routine to shave the area where you'll getting the tattoo, prior to the tattoo. It's not that you have a hairy back, it's that everyone has like peach fuzz covering all of our bodies and those little hairs could get in the way of the needles of the tattoo machine.

Haha, If you had done ANY reaserch what so eer you would have known that it is required that the spot wehre the tattoo is goingt o be must be shaved, Because any amount of hair cause cause there to be lines in the ink and for the colouring to be uneven. he wansn't trying to sy your hairy, your just kinda dumb.

Um, #60, thats a lie, they make you do it everywhere, EVERYTIME. i got a tattoo on my wrist, im a girl , and have barely any arm hair, PLUS who has thick course hair on the inside of their arm on their wrist that needs to be shaved that badly besides a gorilla?. you have to shave. doesnt matter where, and to the Writter, dont worry, your hair wont grow back thicker and longer like you're probably anticipating it to.

Why have all the posts consisted of boring stupid stuff lately? It's getting annoying. If y'all are going to make stuff up, at least make it funny.
