Today, I found out that the phrase I got tattooed on my lower back is misspelled. FML

oh my god i agree with you. it's like when people say that everybody who gets their tongue pierced is doing it to be "better at oral sex" or whatever. so stupiddd. (this is supposed to be a reply to #33)

I agree! Although the people I know who have them ARE only doing it to be better at blow jobs.

I may be the exception to your rule. =P I have a tongue piercing but I got it just to amuse myself when I was 16. It was a piercing I could get that you can't see unless I want you to see it and when I eventually take it out you won't ever be able to tell. =]

pshhh, who needs a piercing to be better at ********. that's just ridiculous. all you have to do is watch more ****. :D

i have my tongue pierced and know many people who have their tongue pierced and not for that reason. i mean people do do it obviously. but it is annoying to hear that constantly when it's not true for everybody.

i hope you got it in a cheesy ass foreign language like chinese because "the characters look so cuuuuute" and then you spend an inordinate amount of time around people that are literate in that dialect and they laugh at how ******* dumb you are. or you got it in english, but are just too dumb to find a tattoo artist that can spell. what can be so difficult about spelling a tat on your ass crack? im sure the words are pretty small and blunt.

Last time I was with somebody that got a tattoo....they put a stencil on him and then let him look at it in a mirror BEFORE they started doing anything. So if you looked in the mirror to make sure it was okay, and thought that it was, it's your fault for not re-checking it. Hope you have some more money stashed away somewhere to either get it a cover-up done or removed...and for the removing part, I hope you have a very high pain tolerance and like 10x the amount of what it cost...cuz I heard that shit hurts! Oh yeah....and go to a better tattoo shop cuz obviously even your tattoo artist was too stupid to not notice whatever you got was spelled wrong.

@ kukopia I'm just guessing here, but the way she phrased her sentence sounds to me like she had the tattoo for a while before she realized the mistake. So perhaps she got something in a language she's not familiar with. If it was in English, you'd think she or her friends/family would notice any mistakes straight away. This is why people should stop getting tattoos in foreign languages just because they seem more "exotic" and "meaningful." Unless it is a very well-known phrase (such as "Amor vincit omnia," or "C'est la vie," etc.) with a well-known meaning and it therefore has some context in your culture, a foreign-language tattoo is the exact opposite of meaningful - if you can't even tell whether it's spelled incorrectly, HOW can it possibly have any meaning to you? Not to mention that these types of tattoos can only be considered cool *outside* of the culture you are supposedly taking part in. How ironic, right? Disclaimer: I have nothing against tattoos in general, and in fact have a fairly sizable one myself. Tattoos are not all created equal, that's for sure.

Yes, Dahila, I do in fact have a lower back tattoo, of which I am very proud of and holds special meaning to me. And last I checked, I wasn't a tramp. I have also seen some beautiful artwork done on the lower backs of people who are far from tramps. Therefore, my reasoning for detesting the aforementioned term.

YDI for having a tramp stamp. While I realize there are those out there who treasure theirs, on the whole I find them cheap and low-class.

YDI, always check to make sure it's correct while designing, then before you have it made, and when it's being placed. My tattoo artist actually has a book dedicated to clients who brought in poorly spelled tattoos that they wanted. In some situations where the customer was an ass, they got it incorrectly done. If a customer came in and was nice about it, he'd tell them that it was improperly spelled. Enjoy your poorly spelled tramp stamp.
