Miscellaneous: Great idea

Great idea

By aridaley - 21/05/2011 23:33 - United States

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, 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

Jumping the gun

Today, I got a tattoo with my boyfriend's name on it. As we're coworkers, I showed it to him thinking he’d love it. He told me he couldn’t continue the relationship anymore since he realized he wants to fix things with his wife. Three hours of pain and 2 years down the drain. FML

Today, I went out drinking with my tattoo artist brother-in-law. I was so wasted that I agreed to let him try working on me. I woke up with a tattoo of an animated marijuana plant smoking a cigarette. This'll look just great when I'm defending clients in court. FML

Today, I found out the tattoo symbolising my marriage turned out to be more permanent than the marriage itself. FML

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, my boyfriend of 2 years took me to get a tattoo done with his name on. He paid for it. After it was done he told me it was over between us and he thought it'd be a nice reminder of him for me. FML

Today, I finally got a tattoo of an alchemy symbol that I've wanted for years. I also found out later that symbol stands for urine. FML

Today, I went to get a tattoo of my girlfriend's name to surprise her. Halfway through the tattooing, she called and broke up with me. FML

Today, I went to a tattoo artist to get what I thought would be really cute, elegant finger tattoos. I left with wobbly, blobby messes all over my fingers. FML

Never drink alcohol again, please. You obviously can't handle it. YDI.

Even intoxicated, why the hell would you want an ex's name tattooed on you? That's a different level than piss drunk stupid.

Well aren't you a special bunny OP. maybe next time you should lock all your tattoo stuff away when you drink to save yourself from more embarrassing episodes. Or maybe get rid of the stuff altogether to save other people from you.

First of all there are coverups. Second of all, all the tattoo artist I know don't pay usually for their tattoos anyways... You sound like a dumbass who bought a machine online and now thinks that they're a tattoo artist. Hopefully being riddled with crappy tattoos you did to yourself will discourage anyone from being stupid enough to get tattooed by you.

You're a tattoo artist. You should be able to cover it up fairly easily. Just make sure you are sober this time.

I don't understand why the majority answer is YDI. OP was drunk, can you control yourself when drunk? No, so it was an unfortunate incident, and hopefully OP learns to lock her stuff up next time, but FHL

So you can't control yourself at all while you're drunk? Seems like someone shouldn't be drinking then. Of course everyone will have stupid ideas while they're drunk, but you should be able to process what you're doing and decide whether or not that's the best action for you in the future. It's no excuse when people say "Oh, I did that because I was drunk..." for stupid pranks or cheating or whatnot. You should be able to think about the future when you get the urge to act like a drunken fool.

Um, heddurhowza, YOU ARE AN IDIOT. It's ydi because OP CHOSE to get drunk. It's not like she involuntarily downed enough alcohol to make her qualify as drunk. Next time think a little before you post a comment, brainiac.
