Today, I got a tattoo with my boyfriend's name on it. As we're coworkers, I showed it to him thinking he’d love it. He told me he couldn’t continue the relationship anymore since he realized he wants to fix things with his wife. Three hours of pain and 2 years down the drain. FML

Today, I decided I was going to dump my needy girlfriend. I was about to break the news when she stopped me. She showed me her new tattoo she had gotten. Our names, surrounded by a love heart spread across her back. She reckons I should get a matching one. FML

Today, I was talking to my tattoo artist about how my girlfriend broke up with me. She had also gotten her tattoos from him, so they had talked quite a bit. He told me she had been cheating on me with her ex for two and a half months. He didn't tell me because he didn't want to lose business. FML

Today, my boyfriend of 2 years took me to get a tattoo done with his name on. He paid for it. After it was done he told me it was over between us and he thought it'd be a nice reminder of him for me. FML

Today, my quite squeamish girlfriend came with me to get my latest tattoo. She saw a few drops of blood, screamed in the tattooist's ear, and completely fucked up part of the outline. She had to alter the tattoo drastically to cover up the mess and now it just looks bad. FML

Today, my tattoo artist boyfriend of five months gave me my first tattoo in celebration of my 18th birthday. It was supposed to be a heart with my name in script. He spelled my name wrong. FML

"Yeah, put 'Lisa' on my upper arm. Wait, I'm getting a call. Wait, what? You want to see other people? Shit. Yo, change that to 'Lick my sack'. Thanks."

It's obviously not obvious if OP didn't know not to do it.

The only person I ever knew who tattooed a significant other's name on them was a man who had been married to his wife for 25 years and they had been together for 32. He'd had his kids' names for years and finally felt secure enough to get her name tattooed on him. She died a week later, in a car accident. It wasn't even fully healed. I'm not superstitious, but I am never getting a husband or boyfriend's name tattooed on me. Kids, maybe. I do have my dad's signature tattooed on my arm, but I had already lost him. Totally a YDI, OP. Hell, I can find plenty of excuses for dumbasses, but not in your case.

YDI. Completely. There's nothing more stupid than getting your girlfriend's/boyfriend's name tattooed.

this whole cliché partner broke up "when I did this" or "just as I was" is getting old.

You're a ******* tool. You obviously don't understand that tattoos are permanent. Don't get anyone's name on you unless you've been married for 50 plus years.

Why would you get a tattoo of her when you didn't even know if she was going to stay with you in the first place... FAIL

Today, my girlfriend was on top in reverse cowgirl. After she orgasmed, all I heard was, "Oh fuck" and she clenched her butt to try stop, but it was too late, she shot diarrhoea up my stomach, chest and neck. The only reason I didn’t get any in my mouth was because it all got caught in my beard. FML

Today, my girlfriend's dad let me borrow his car for transportation to work because mine got totaled. This car is a complete dump and I've realized he's only letting me use it so it's my fault to fix the broken things on the car. So far, I've had to replace the battery and two popped tires. FML
