Committing to a tattoo is a pretty major deal because, unlike dying your hair or getting a piercing, you'll most likely be stuck with it for the rest of your life.
Unless you're willing to go down the very expensive and painful route of laser removal — which doesn't always work out.
For the majority of us, the tattooing process will go completely fine and we'll walk out of the studio over the moon with our new ink. But for the unlucky few, things can go very, very wrong.
Unless you're planning to end up like the ‘NO RAGRETS’ guy from 2013's We're the Millers, a spelling mistake is one of the biggest ways to screw up your tattoo.

Unfortunately for one TikToker, this nightmare scenario played out in real life.
Back in 2023 Jordan LaMattina (@theearthylama) went to her local tattoo parlour and asked for 'Everything's fine' on the side of her hand.
Pretty simple and straightforward right? Not the sort of phrase you'd imagine would be easy to mess up?
Unfortunately fpr LaMattina, the worst case scenario became a reality when she looked at her finished tattoo and realised it read 'Everthing's fine'.
Unfazed by the blunder, LaMattina shared the moment online, after her friend was thankfully able to capture her hysterical reaction.
In the clip, the unlucky tat-receiver is in absolute hysterics while a voice behind the camera tells the artist: “This is not your fault.
“This is the greatest moment of my life.”
Watch the viral moment below:
The artist seems to be in disbelief as he mumbles: “Are you f**king joking?” and looks back at the tat.
The laughter continues as they repeat: “Everthin’s fine,” and even appear to be wiping away tears as they uncontrollably giggle.
Leaning back in his chair with his face covered in disbelief, they reassure the artist: “It’s okay, everthin’s fine.”
Users were in hysterics as they commented: “Poor guy is sooo confused,” as they also put: “That phrase will haunt him.”
Another joked: “In Martin Freeman voice ‘it was this moment he realised, everything was not fine’.”
One even said: “It’s so much better that way tho.” And added: “Everthings fine… you just gotta have an accent.”
It doesn't seem like LaMattina was just being nice to the artist either, going on to call the misspelled ink her 'favourite tattoo' in a follow-up video shared in 2024.
"It's ironic," she said. "It's my favourite tattoo, the end."
