    so what poeple think about them ,

    there is a guy who has a shop , online port on facebook , while looking through his work , i noticed he misspelt a word in a tattoo , and commented on it , he said he triple checked it but english was not his mother language :rolleyes:

    how would you feel with a missspelt tattoo thats in a place that cant realy be coverd ?

    (please note my spelling is crap :D)

    i dont know, and im not naming any names, but the place where i got my one and only tattoo (small design, no text) has since closed down, and the owner was taken to court for mis-spelling something on a lads arm (i think, they had the article up on thier facebook page, along with all thier tattoos)

    he said it wasnt the first time it happened either,
    so i dont think ill ever get text tattoo'd on my body, and if i do, i'll make sure to double, and triple check it

    It's not just misspelling, it's when they get quotes wrong. The amount of tattoos floating around with wrong song lyrics or book quotes is a bit .. wrong!

    Perhaps I'm playing devil's advocate here but is it not as much the responsibility of the tattoo-ee to check the wording, and spelling, of their proposed tattoo as it is to a person to read and understand a contract before signing it?
    As such I'm afraid I've no sympathy for people who get misquotes, mistranslations or misspellings, the only exception being where they provided the tattooist with an accurate one but at some point during the tattooing the artist strayed from the stencil that was applied. Any artist who did that though would of could clearly not be a respectable artist.
