Today, I realized that the "holla" tattoo I stupidly got on my lower lip five years ago isn't fading as I expected it to, and will probably contribute to my unemployment for years to come. FML

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

Today, I got fired for having a visible tattoo on my neck. The tattoo in question is a scar from a surgery I had 2 months ago. The same one paid for by my employer's insurance and missed 2 weeks of work for. FML

Today, I finally figured out what I want to do for the rest of my life. Too bad my tattoos will prevent me from ever getting hired. Guess you were right, Mom. FML

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 20-year-old came whining to me, asking why his job interviews keep going so poorly. I had to delicately explain that the "PIMP SLAP" tattoo he had put on his right hand recently may have something to do with it. FML

Today, I got into trouble at work because a customer complained about my face tattoo, I don't have a face tattoo but I do have one behind my ear. Nonetheless, I still got written up and had to cover it with a band-aid, which ripped out hair when I took it off. 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, 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, 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

I always wondered why some people have a teardrop tattooed on their face near their eye. Does it have any meaning or did they think it was cool?

A teardrop tattoo is a designator to say that you've killed someone (either in or out of prison).

Well it actually depends which side the tear drop is on.. Not sure which is which. But one means you killed someone and one means somebody killed a loved one.

I would tell you to try to convince them that you're M?ori or have M?ori ancestry (they get lots of tattoos, quite a few traditional ones are put on the face) but I don't think they'd believe it with a "Holla" tattoo

Go back to school, and get a degree in something like a Medical Transcriptionist, then you can work from home and make great money..

I love tats but my rule I used was to get them where they show only when I wanted it to show. Good luck. I hope you find a place to work that will not discriminate.

You could always buy a lipstick or makeup that matches your skin tone. I mean even if your a dude, wearing makeup and having a job is better than being jobless.
