SHE wanted to get a tattoo tribute to her mother on her arm.
So opted for a cursive design which was meant to read “my mum is my angel”.
People had hilarious remarks to make about the tattoo error[/caption]
However, the tattoo artist made an epic mistake while doing the inking, and ended up writing: “My mum is my angle”.
A snap of the etching was shared on Facebook, with people quick to share hilarious comments related to the unfortunate error.
“What acute mom!” one wrote.
“There is a degree of humour in this post,” another joked.
“Sometimes she’s acute mum, sometimes she can be obtuse, hopefully straight and always right,” a third commented.
“She’s only 45 but looks about 90!” someone else said.
“I can’t breeeeeathe,” another admitted.
“You’d be surprised how many idiots spell my name wrong,” someone called Angel commented on the post.
“The worst I’ve ever seen my name misspelled was in Palm Bay, Florida…” another Angel agreed.
“My receipt said ‘engel’ – f**king ENGEL!!!”
“And your tattoo artist is your worst enemy,” someone else giggled.
“Dips**ts are everywhere,” another groaned.
Unfortunately, any tattoo fan knows that incorrect inkings can happen occasionally.
However, when one person asked how they should deal with a mistake on their design, another hit back: “If you’re a professional artist and not an apprentice working for free, and you get half way through a tattoo and you’ve messed up so a badly that you can’t fix it, you’ve no business being in the profession at all.”
They also added that they have never “messed up” while doing a tattoo, but has made small errors in the past.
However, they’re nothing like the blunder on Facebook, as she said she’s never made a mistake that “can’t be fixed or incorporated into the design or the shading or colour seamlessly”.
“So it’s completely unnoticeable to both myself and my client, but like I say, it’s rare, very rare,” she insisted.
It’s also important to speak up during a tattoo session if you aren’t happy with the way your design is turning out.
“Whatever the case may be, when in doubt – speak up!” the pros at Adrenaline Studios urged.
“Don’t be concerned about being a pest. This is your tattoo, not theirs.
“If at any point you think something is wrong you are responsible to speak up and the tattooist is responsible to respond, make adjustments, and/or explain what you’re witnessing.
“Communication is everything between a client and artist – that communication must occur before, during, and after the tattoo.”
