Today, my friend sent me a link to a "horrible" tattoo that he found online, that a guy had gotten at my tattoo parlor. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, I checked my Tumblr account to see if anyone had commented on the photos of my new tattoo. There were only 3 posts, and 2 of them were people linking it to "Awful Tattoo" blogs. FML
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, my quite squeamish girlfriend came with me to get my latest tattoo. She saw a few drops of blood, screamed in the tattooist's ear, and completely fucked up part of the outline. She had to alter the tattoo drastically to cover up the mess and now it just looks bad. FML
Today, my girlfriend dumped me for the tattoo artist who gave us our matching "love" tattoos. FML
Today, I found out that the phrase I got tattooed on my lower back is misspelled. 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, unbeknownst to me, my boyfriend got a tattoo of the Joker on his neck. The worst part? It's Jared Leto's godawful Joker. FML
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, I found out that my wife is leaving me for a tattoo artist. I was in rehab and she met him getting a tattoo as a surprise for me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Well OP it's a matter of opinion right? If the client was happy that's all that matters.

Maybe it was done right just not the best choice of tattoo by the customer.

If it was of "Hagar The Horrible," then it could actually be good and still be Horrible.

After reading your comment, I pictured the client asking for Thor and getting Hägar instead. (:

The only thing I'm wondering is if you did the tattoo

Was the client happy? That's all that matters. They have to wear it the rest of their life.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder This needs a followup, though. The FML community would love to get an eyeful to behold - then we could give an informed YDI or YLS

if he didn't take care of it then it could look like a bad tattoo. some people don't take care of them afterwards and then blame it on the tattoo artist.

Strictly from curiosity, what does one have to do afterwards to take care of a tattoo?

From someone who has multiple tattoo a lot goes in to proper after care. You have to keep it out of direct sunlight, no soaking it, clean it multiple times a day, apply lotion etc a lot can go wrong without proper aftercare

There's a tattoo parlor close to my job so I often get newly tattoo people coming in to get a drink afterwards. They all smell like A&D ointment. Blah! But the early stage of taking care of your tats are key. Gotta keep the ink properly sealed.
