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 artists, no matter how talented they are, will make mistakes. It was just a stroke of bad luck that something happened. However, its always a bad idea when you place dependence on the probability of human error. And personally, the illustration could be a little more subtle. I find that many of these illustrations are very overdone nowadays. "Unicorn Power"? What the hell?

well thats ur fault, u shoulda listened to ur maytes and ur fam cos thats what they're here for =)

Just so everyone knows, I have 8 tattos and all within 3 years. all were planned and a very reputable professional artist ****** one of mine up too..i really big one... he was able to fix it. List people make mistakes its a job and can sometimes be stressful. Tattoos can be removed and it is pricy and a lot harder, BUT YOU CAN ALSO GET THEM COVERED UP!!!man, im so happy im 20 and dont give a flying **** what anybody says
