Whoops.
…I don’t even know where to start.
That is so depressing, that can’t be fixed!
Just, ouch.
Typical phoenix girl. lol…
I thought it said: “Let All Red Signify That Roses Bloom Your Ground.”
I’ve had a couple cover-ups… There must be something that can be done.
@ Boudicca I think it can be fixed, but by someone who knows what the bloody hell they’re doing. The end curve thing on the r of your could be made into an E relatively easily, and then it’s just a matter of adding an apostrophe.
Ohhh nooo 🙁 I feel so bad, but simple grammar!!! Aw, c’mon 🙁
ughhh as an editor this really kills me…poor girl…
🙁 Typo.
Me too #5. I was like.. uh.. what? How does this go?
I know its wrong… I just don’t know where :S
::sigh:: things like this boggle my mind. not only did she not research it, but the artist didn’t think to, and I am sure there were at least 2 people (if not more) who were present and they didn’t even realize!! besides the fact, that rose looks more like a red lotus flower. to each his own, hopefully she loves it either way.
Ooooh noooo…. 🙁
i can’t feel sorry for this person. anyone who puts that little thought into something that will be with her and on her forever deserves what she gets!
Wow. Walking grammar error. I agree with Leanna – if you don’t spend enough time thinking about your tattoo to get proper basic grammar, you get what’s coming to you.
hahahahahaha!! she needs to fix it asap.
when in az, go to paolo at divinity tattoos. he did my chest piece and he is amazing!
It’s especially tragic because as far as I can tell those are song lyrics… Signs of Betrayal by Suffering So Proud
They’re also missing a “the” if it matters…
Uh oh indeed! YOU’RE going to be embarrassed…
Whats wrong with it??????
OOOOOHHH.. “you’re”
madness.
the blackwork could fix that :}}
I have no pity for her. Really, I think “caution: I’m stupid” signs should be mandatory anyways. This one’s a good start.
Yeah… I can’t feel sorry for her. So many of these kids are getting “hip” lyrics tattooed on their skin and there are plenty that get burned because of spelling and grammar errors. This is why you go in KNOWING what you want, down to the color and font and all the details.
That’s my worst nightmare.
I agree with #14. If you’re able to get a tattoo, you should be able to spell it properly. A shame indeed. It’s otherwise a very pretty chest piece.
It bothers me when people confuse your and you’re in text messages. I’m glad that’s not my tattoo, but I’m sure she can do something to improve it.
Wow, that’s just sad. But yeah, I have to agree with #14 as well.
That makes me absolutely insane.
Good lord. I kind of agree with the if-you-can’t-spell-you-deserve-it sentiment, but still… ouch!
as a journalism major, i feel like i may have just had a seizure
Granted it’s an unfortunate error, it’s really not that big of a deal. She probably knows it’s wrong and is either gonna fix it or leave it as is.
Either way, it’s a really nice tattoo and I really like the font (even though the a in ‘around’ looks like a g).
is it jst the YOU’RE thats wrong and im not being thick and missing something?
i read it “let all red signify that roses bloom your ground” as well 😐
Even without the grammatical/spelling mistake, “Let all red roses bloom signify that you’re around” makes no sense. Maybe if it was “red roses’ bloom,” but even that sounds weird.
I’m with someone above, I read it all the way across (Let all red signify that…).
I think typos in tattoos are sad.
I would be happy to help her fix it. To keep the flow, (around) might need to be moved to add an (‘e) but it shouldn’t be that difficult. It all depends on the ink and how well she would respond to laser treatments: http://www.fadefast.com/
If it is from the song Sings of Betrayal, it should actually read “Let all the red roses bloom to signify that you’re around.” Ouch.
I’m with Leanna on this one.
That’s so tragic and depressing 🙁
Maybe she’s not a native English speaker. A good demonstration for all those people who don’t properly research their foreign language tattoos anyway: this is exactly how people react when they see mangled kanji or Arabic or whatever.
Poor thing. Time for some blackwork coverups!
Ah, #36, makes a lot more sense now. It doesn’t even fit into her body well… But the font is quite nice
Fuck y’all. Tattoos with typos are cooler then gay emo lyrics without typos. If she can laugh it off she’s primo wife material.
That’s deeply worrying…Have schools stopped teaching children anything about language these days?
That’s quite sad, bobb does bring up a very interesting point though.
41.Fuck y’all. Tattoos with typos are cooler then gay emo lyrics without typos. If she can laugh it off she’s primo wife material.
bfree
i think that was really uncalled for
I think Allen Falkner might be the only hope in this case.
My inner grammar nazi just cringed.
I would explode or go insane if that happened with one of my tattoos.
I THOUGHT THE RIGHT SIDE SAID
“SIMPLY THAT YOUR GROUND”
this always saddens me when i see it happen. aside from the fact that i’m a proofreader and do report formatting as a career, i had a single word tattooed on my wrist and must have checked at least three dictionaries and five or six people before i was convinced that it was spelled correctly (you know how it is, you look at a word long enough and it doesn’t look like it’s spelled right anymore?).
hopefully there’s something that can be done, if she does, in fact, want to fix it. if not, well, maybe it can be her interesting story? though i imagine most people would want their interesting story to be significantly smaller…
oh dear. my biggest nightmare is somethingspelt wrong inked on my skin forever more!
Ew. Okay, that’s really gross. But, honestly, maybe she’s just a smart girl with bad grammar? I’m sure there are people out there that are much more stupid than her…=/
