When thinking about getting a tattoo, people are often warned to think about how it might look when they're older and how it may be perceived at job interviews.
But one warning that seems to be overlooked is to make sure that the tattoo artist can spell before allowing them to get to work with the needle.
Hilariously tattoo fails have been sweeping Instagram, as people can't help poking fun at incorrect spellings and grammatical disasters.

One man who wanted to make a striking statement to his haters was no doubt disappointed when the message across his shoulders came out as: "Only god can fudge me".
