...if I don't tell my friend that her tattoo is spelt wrong?

[Nessalina]

Just that really!
A friend has posted a picture on Facebook of her new tattoo and there is a word spelt wrong! I won't say what for fear of outing, but it's got two extra letter in by accident
No one has noticed that's posted on Facebook, and I've checked that it's not a prank (no google images of the same picture) so I think it's an honest mistake.
But... I can't see that me telling her would be helpful, I mean, it's permanent! There isn't a pretty way to fix it, and surely someone else will notice and tell her? Right?
I'm such a coward

I wonder if Jessie J's mates have told her that her tattoo is spelt wrong? Cracks me up every time, esp as it is one of her OWN lyrics: "don't loose who you are in the blur of the stars" arf arf

Update us please nessie

I'm sure the internet has told Jessie j, so her friends don't have to. They can just nod along about meanies on the internet with her.

OMG I LOVE a live action thread... Thecrazy that's super, I find Jessie J entirely loathsome. I shall save that nugget for when DH is feeling gloomy and cheer him up a right treat with it.

It's s shit quote anyway.

Had to really stop myself from commenting on the last one I saw:

'Nobodys promised tomorrow ...'

Tough call. But actually someone else might notice and tell her in a not so diplomatic way, so you could save her from that.

It would be easy to fix a missing apostrophe though. The difficulty is where there's an extraneous one (or extraneous letters). Even if you removed them, there'd be a big space in the middle of a word.

Thing is I really don't think that is a spelling mistake on her part, it's a double of the correct letters so it looks like she has gone to a bad tattoo place and they have free handed it and got lost.
Although I am surprised she hasn't noticed it, even being poor at spelling. Most readers still using phonics would spot it. Poor woman.
She definitely needs to go back there though and get her money back. I can't quite see how you could fix it without removing the whole word and then plopping in a bigger font but I'm sure that's not how lazering works!

Is it possible to tattoo over the mistake in her skin colour? Or wouldn't that work?

Has anyone seen the Bad Ink tv programme? Some of the tattoos featured on it are astoundingly ill advised.

I'm hoping it's a joke, and she hasn't had it done at all

Not to worry! I got a tattoo under my breast saying "the key to reality is perception". The tattooist kept getting muddled and spelling it reception and after the third time I only checked the individual spellings to the words - not the order. I got home, took my top off and was greeted with howls of laughter from my OH. It reads "The key to perception is reality". The irony.
Meh. I didn't die and sure if you didn't laugh you'd cry. It helps that 2 years on both phrases sound shite - but it still looks shit hot (in my own humble opinion ;) )

well she knows now.. there could be a way to salvage it, but she'll have to go back under the needle.

At least she didn't get her childs name tattooed on her body spelled wrong like I've seen online before.

My FIL sadly died last year. DH's cousin's son was particularly close to him, and following his death, had a tattoo on his arm as a dedication to him. Only there was an erroneous apostrophe. It went down like a cup of cold sick when DH 'helpfully' pointed this out...

That wtftattoo site kept jumping to porn sites on my phone.

Did that happen to anyone else?

Omg

Kitty - try my link instead if you want to laugh at crappy tattoos (it's linked to FailBlog/Cheezburger) here

No porn though, Norbert? Promise?

Oooh that will be hard to fix with extra letters too
My latest tattoo I was pedantic about the spelling, and grammar but luckily my tattooist is too
I have "... but still, like air, I'll rise" on my thigh (part of a large piece)

No porn Kitty, unless you count some of the tattoos which verge on it!

Someone featured on that site had a big poo tattooed on their back. I can think of no reasonable explanation for that.

There are a lot of tattoos on that site that have no reasonable explanation.

Thanks Norbert

Some of them are incredible aren't they? I saw the poo one too, calamitously I want to know the stories behind them.

I once saw the poo one linked with a story where a woman had been cheating on her boyfriend who was a tattoo artist. He found out but didn't say anything as she was scheduled to have him do a massive tattoo on her back and he wanted to use that to get revenge. He got her to sign some legal form giving him "artistic licence", i.e. the right to draw whatever he wanted so she couldn't sue him. Obviously she thought she was getting some amazing design but got a massive turd instead.

Not sure if that's100% true or an urban myth but I like the story anyway!!
