Well, that would be a disaster, Mystery Author. you explained the situation well. He should have run when he first read that sign. Thanks for sharing and best wishes. Jan

    Thanks for reviewing. The poem shows why I would NEVER get a tattoo.

Haha... great entry. Entertaining and funny... and makes one wonder how many times this actually happens to people. I'm sure that guy was really pissed off when he left that tattoo place. Lol. Good luck in the contest!

    I'd be wanting my money back if it was me, but the message would be there forever. Long sleeves from now on! Thanks for reviewing.

Bill's Budgit Tattu Parla. Oh dear, it seems you should have heeded the warning. Nothing for it now but to get the charlatan to add an 's' at the start and a 't' at the end, then go out and buy a bucketful of chocolate. After all, it's nearly Easter.

Like the commercial, okay was not good enough evidently it was not drawn before tattooing. Your well told tale is just another reason I have never indulged in the ink world.

    Thanks for your review. I agree with you. I would NEVER get a tattoo. Permanent vandalism.

It definitely is a crappy situation you got yourself into. The pain to start and the words that tells everyone you're a not to nice guy, :) Hope it didn't really happen. This is a good entry for the 100 Flash Fiction contest. Thank you for sharing.

    Thanks for your review. Fear not, I would NEVER get a tattoo, I just imagined a worst-case scenario.

Always believe the sign. Budget tattoos are quite dodgy.
Die can be fixed. Crap, I don't know.
Maybe you can have whole thing changed to Crappy Diet.
They're all crappy to me.

Best of luck.

Peace, Lee

    I like your tattoo 'save' of Crappy Diet. Thanks for the review, now let's go stuff some chocolate in our faces for Easter.

Hahaha. Thank you for the laugh. I needed that. It's sad how true this is. The mistakes the tattooist make are there for a good long while so they better have it together. If you look up tattoo screw ups on Google you'll find some pretty bad ones, lol. Great entry. I wish you luck in the booth. Hilarious.

    You mean man, laughing at the tattooist's ineptitude and the poor boy's flawed skin! Life is indeed hilarious when it happens to OTHER folks. That's why I wrote it because I'm a meanie too!
    I'll check out your google recommendation.
