Hilarious internet gallery reveals disastrous tattoos

It is said that nothing lasts forever – but these unfortunate spelling mistakes in tattoos will last a lifetime for their unfortunate owners. 

Among the horrendous errors are numerous errant apostrophes and suspicious renderings of words that aren’t particularly complex.

Even worse, some people asked for foreign symbols to be etched on their bodies while blissfully ignorant to their true meanings.

But whether your tattoo is littered with poor grammar, contains profanity or is just plain awful, it is important to remember that each mistake is a chance to learn.

And, fortunately for these inked individuals, they will be reminded of those opportunities every single day — for the rest of their lives.
