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...

Tattoos are gross, why would you want to get one anyway? They make you look like trash.

That would be why you listen to your intuition (gut) rather than judgment (head). Annnd, you regret having them when you're older, so then you have a lesser chance of looking classy.

see that's just a stupid old stereotype. My tattoo will ALWAYS mean something to me because i got it for my aunt and uncle in memory after their deaths. I will NEVER be ashamed of it.

Not every person regrets getting their tattoos as long as it's well thought out and they're sure it's what they want. My grandmas had her tattoo for 20 years, she tells me she doesn't regret a thing, and she always manages to look classy.

oh god, that sucks. i'm getting my first tattoo soon, so i guess i know now to check around for the best place. XD

YD! Tattoos are for low lives or hispanics.

YDI not because it was a bad idea but because you did not take the time to get a GOOD tattoo artist. And 149, you are a total idiot just to let you know.

Hell ! What did he do ? Did you see it or he just fixed it some way ?

#137, it doesn't have to be "faded". You can always go in for color touchups.
