Cara Delevingne has very clever way to correct misspelled tattoo that caused backlash last year
Supermodel and actor Cara Delevingne has refused to take part in the 'tattoo regret' trend as she has come up with a clever way to fix her tattoo error.
The 31-year-old has clearly had a lot to deal with recently after a fire burnt down her home in LA last month.
Taking to social media, she shared a video of her mansion up in flames, later thanking the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) for getting there in time to save her cats.
Delevingne was starring in the London's West End at the time, and was out of the country.

Writing on Instagram, she said: “My heart is broken today.
“I cannot believe it.
“Life can change in a blink of an eye. So cherish what you have.
“Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all the firefighters and people that showed up to help…”
Alongside a picture of her cats, she added: “They are alive!! Thank you to the firefighters.”
The LAFD said: “Firefighters arrived to find a four-storey building with fire showing from the second floor.
“It took 40 firefighters 21 minutes to extinguish the fire.
“After firefighters entered the structure to eliminate the remainder of the flames, crews ventilated the building to remove any lingering smoke and conducted a search for any victims.
“No reported injuries to civilians or firefighters. The cause of the fire is under investigation.”
Onto less serious, but perhaps more talked about matters, as people criticised the model for misspelling a quote on her arm tattoo.
The design on her left arm featured the word 'dormiveglia' and the definition as 'the place that stretches between sleeping and walking'.
Social media quickly pointed out that the tattoo should read 'the place that stretches between sleeping and waking', instead of 'walking'.
The actor seemed to have fixed the issue after displaying the tattoo at the Olivier Awards, which took place last Sunday (14 April).
Pictured out and about, Delevingne's updated tattoo now shows an abstract shape which cuts through the 'i' in 'walking' so it now correctly reads 'waking'.
Hopefully her fans are now able to sleep at night, as one person tweeted: "How can something like that happen? How?
"Then they try to cover it up with a cheap triangle as if that would make it better. Just WALKING instead of WAKING tattooed."
LADbible Group has contacted a representative of Cara Delevingne for comment.
