I had always toyed with the idea of getting a tattoo along the way but the whole permanent thing just did never sit well with me. I don’t wanna be sitting there aged 60 with a ed norton style swastika that was on my chest swinging around my ankles but another reason is I would be completely afraid of this shit happening. Gettin some bone head idiot completely miss spelling what i wanted would be another primary reason i would give it a pass. I’ve seen too many of those ‘no no its the chinese symbol for free spirit’ when clearly it more like resembles egg fried rice down the local curry shop!
I wonder can you actually sue someone if they did this to you? I mean in all fairness you’d be there when it happened so you’d be as much of a bone head as them.
For a few more. .
My next tattoo will probably be a single letter. Should be less issues with spelling than those poor chumps.
I’m having one removed very soon. I’d love to go back in a D’lorean and give myself a smack in the head.
p.s. It’s ‘mispelling’
john, i think thats what they call irony or ironee
Doh!
G’day Ben. . been reading for a while, found you through . . um can’t remember. I had a friend once who had a Chinese symbol tattooed on his arm . .he thought it meant ‘longevity’, it meant something quite different! Took 7 years before his Chinese girlfriend translated it as “Donkey” well, could have been worse I s’pose
@Baino – Thanks for stopping by and for the comment!
Only thinkin about this last night and i have mate who’s in the RDF (FCA) and he got our Unit Number etc (B Company – 7th Battallion) tattoo’d on his leg and then they went and did a re-org and we changed our Unit designation to A Company 65th Batt. Complete egg on the face!
I shall spin by your blog and add it to my reader!
I’m thinking about getting one
Mid life crisis?
@Roy It really would depend on what it was though. It was of a hot blonde stretch out semi clad over the front of a red convertible then it might be time to consider not getting on, or at the very least consult your good lady wife!
But if its a tastful bloody dagger through your mums name im sure you’ll be fine. . .
A dolphin on each bum cheek?
um yeah, time to consult the good lady wife i’m thinking . .
