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...

hopefully you didn't get your boyfriend or girlfriends name inked on you because if you did, i'm sure they'll break up with and you'll be writing another FML.

One time my tattoo artist was like "Oh shit... oh ****... damn... I don't think it's going to come off." Funny as balls. Anyway, yeah you should really look into where you're going and who your artist is going to be, just so it doesn't end up actually being a bad idea.

I agree with #1, #2, #4, #7, #13, #28, #38, and #45. Tattoos are a bad idea.

Sounds like you didn't do your research regarding the artist/tattoo parlor you went to. If not, YDI. If you did properly research the artist and everything beforehand, that sucks.

People people, Modern tattoo ink can be removed easily, make no drama please. Tattoos, if sober and well considered can become a piece of art part of ones life, cast no judgment please.
