One of the artists misspelled “neighborhood” on this guy’s neck. He spelled it “neigborhood,” leaving out the first “H.” Neighborhood was the guy’s nickname. It was a pretty large, elaborate tattoo, so there was no fixing it. I don’t think I have ever cringed so hard in my life. The guy was surprisingly really cool about it. He did see the drawing and approved it before it was tattooed on. He ended up making the artist tattoo an “H” on his palm so if anyone asked him about the misspelling he could smack that person with the missing “H.” © eccoothedolphin / Reddit

My ONLY spelling mistake ever was in Italian. Girl wants a phrase in Italian. She writes it down no less than 5x on a piece of paper. I tell her to make sure it is correct, I don’t speak Italian. She insists it is correct. I draw up some nice script, tattoo it with no issues, bandage it, she pays, and she leaves. She comes back in hysterics and tells me I spelled it wrong. I hadn’t thrown out the paper. I spelled it exactly how she spelled it. I asked what she wanted to do, and she decided “eh no one I know speaks Italian.” That was about 15 years ago, I often wonder if she ended up getting it covered up. © Zornamental / Reddit

I was working at a place when a guy came in for a full back piece of 3 different cars. It took like 4 visits to finish and each visit he’d look at it and say it looks awesome, and then he would take off. On the last visit, they call me in to look at it and show me how awesome it turned out. Well, all the steering wheels were on the wrong side and the reason no one caught it was because the dude was looking in a mirror to check his progress, so they looked correct. I’m pretty sure the guy was super chill about it when they offered a bunch of free work and they fixed it in another session. © JoshSidekick / Reddit
