This is James. He spent £40 on a tattoo of his girlfriend's name and the date they got together. They'd been together for six years, after all.
A week after he got the tattoo, they broke up.
He could have spent £40 on his girlfriend in another way - cheap jewelry, an expensive Nando's, for instance - but he didn't.

No, James spent £40 on a tattoo which became obsolete within a week of it being paid for.
"We were walking through town and he looked over to me and said, 'Lew, I'm going to get a tattoo of her name on my arm'. I was sort of shocked and didn't think he actually meant it," James' mate Lewis told us.
Five minutes later, having just downed a Gregg's cheese bean melt, they were sat in a tattoo parlour getting the monstrosity permanently inked on his arm.
We're told the tattoo didn't have anything to do with the break up, but we're going to leave that where it is. We're not here to judge. Just to laugh.

Now, as any man will tell you, you can't go around with another woman's name on your arm and expect to find love. So James had to do something about it. After putting what we believe was not a lot of thought into it, he decided he'd spend £50 covering it up. Arguably, this decision was worse than his first one...
That cost £50. Fifty of the Queen's finest English pounds. Christ. In the words of his good friend Lewis who sent this to us, he's had a bloody nightmare.
"Not many people know about his wonky new cover up but the few who do just sort of laugh with that, 'Oh God' expression on their face," Lewis concluded.

We're not shocked at all.
In future, James, stick to rational decisions and long sleeved tops. Nice one, mate.
