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. 50 min into the tattoo on my back, the artist says "Oh shit, shit, shit. We can fix this." FML

thats_not_good tells us more.

The tattoo is on my shoulder blade, and it's a Celtic knot that I drew up myself. The artist was filling in the shading in the knot after finishing the outline when he started filling in an area on the wrong side of the line. He ended up fixing it so the design came out symmetrical, and it looks really good. No regrets and no worries.

Yeah, bad idea... sounds like if you try it again you should do a little research to figure out the best tattoo parlor in your area...

tattoo = bad idea. plain and simple

I've got a tattoo. When I got it, the tat artist drew it on a piece of paper, let me review the drawing, then traced the drawing onto my skin where I reviewed it again before she started putting it on me. If you didn't at some point review the tat before the work actually began, than you fail.

Gosh, at least explain what happened for him to say "oh shit shit." I swear FML stories now a days are so vague... EXPLAIN!!!

#78 is right. i wholly agree: "Seems to me that you all have a the same stick up all your asses. It's not karma first of all. My parents would oppose anything I do, including just going out with my friends. Thus if I went out and dirtied my clothes, would that be karma? No. It would just be bad luck that I have encountered. My friend's parents would oppose of it as well, just as most parents would. Is it karma for not listening to them? NO. Tattoo's are forever, thus you really think about getting it before you get it. Perhaps the OP checked for reviews of this place and the tattoo artist got a 4.5/5 stars. Even if they had that rating, it does not guarantee no screw ups. A good tattooist would be able to fix their mistakes, by the way." its not a YDI unless the OP screamed "HOLY CHICKEN DOODOO" and moved around alot, which i doubt.
