It could always be worse

[oakenguy]

The other afternoon I was riding my bike home, and saw a young woman who had the word 'daffodils' tattooed on the back of her neck in giant cursive letters.

Daffodils.

I was discussing this at work, and my co-worker said that at a party this weekend she met a woman who'd had a letter tattooed on the back of each finger. When she intertwined them, they spelled out the word 'GONORREA' .

Some days, life just baffles me.


EDITED TO ADD: I double-checked with my co-worker. Yes, 8 letters. Yes, 'gonorrea'.

Met a guy at a punk festival with "SUICIDAL" tattooed across his forehead. I wonder if he ever followed through.

I hope she at least spelled gonorrHea correctly. Otherwise, that's even sadder than words can express. But that's nine letters, so somehow I'm not that hopeful.

*eyes that*

I have to ask: is the typo yours or her tattooist's? (tattoo-po?) I'm trying to figure out how to get the ninth letter in there, and just can't.

Um... I have no words for this.

When I got my tattoo I asked the guy what was the weirdest tattoo he ever had to do.

His answer? A woman wanted flies tattooed by her lower-fun parts. 'Cause that's what every guy and/or girl wants to see when taking off her pants.

I'm hoping she's regretting that tattoo.

That's about as charming as the "little guy mowing the pubic hair" tattoo that a very very select group of people seem to enjoy.

Cordelia! (I can see you more with a Willow userpic. maybe you're going for irony.)

one hopes that people would have the sense not to tattoo the names of STDs on themselves, but a flower name isn't so bad. (the actual flower would be better.)

In response to your ETA: *facepalm*

But "syphilis" HAS 8 letters! She could've gotten an STD spelled CORRECTLY!

Weird. Some people just get screwed up tattoos.

But I'm intrigued by the daffodils one... I wonder why she opted for the word instead of the flower...

[oakenguy.livejournal.com]

I was wondering that, too! It's just a small step from 'daffodils' to a tattoo that just says 'really cool image'.

[sistahraven.livejournal.com]

Reminds me of a tat I saw a while back... it said, "Insert cool tattoo here"

[ah42.livejournal.com]

So she told the tattooist she wanted daffodils on her back. He somehow thought she meant the word not the flowers, and she never knew until it was too late.

I don't know what to think about the other girl, though... but "the clap" is 8 characters, including the space.

Shame she didn't have NINE fingers since it's spelled Gonorrhea.

I personally like the bull's nose ring:

"GONORREA"

That's class for ya.

I've seen tats that are bandages on a knee/elbow that is all cut up. Pretty funny. Of course, one of my jobs is located under a tattoo parlor, so I see a LOT of "weird" stuff.

wow, good to know that girl has gonnorhea! lol


sometimes I can see something nice in a written/wordy tattoo. but why couldn't she just tattoo a picture of daffodils onto her body?


i don't get why some people do what they do with their tattoos.

hi, i misspelled gonorrea so badly that i think my life experience points just dropped by like -1000. fuck.
