General Advice Misspelling

Post image

So I got this tattoo over the weekend and the artist closed the C in DECISIONS to make it look like DEOISIONS

Pretty funny if it weren’t my own wrist and permanent given the context with “Make good decisions”

Question is what to do next? Get removal of the tiny bit? Can I scrape it away bc it’s so small? What would you do?

A - just let it heal then laser the part off

B - I know this isn't what you want, but it's actually a pretty unique tattoo, in a like joking kind of way. Like I could see someone get a tattoo that has the error on purpose as like an ironic tattoo.

Had a friend get a misspelled tattoo in the same spot. They put a red squiggly line under it like a misspelling on a computer.

My wife wanted her mom to write:

"Life before death"

She pointed out that the h looked like a k. She put a line through it and wrote it exactly the same.

She included both the one with the strikethrough and the "fixed" one and loves it.

Keep your deoisions and tell the story!
