You Can't Cry Over Spilled Ink: Tales of an Ignorantic Tattoo Artist

Ignorantics who commit permanent errors are the worst ignorantics in the world. Permanent errors are commonly committed by ignorantics who have not had the luxury of spell check, Google, or a dictionary. One profession that often falls under this category is the ignorantic tattoo artist. A tattoo artist can be the worst offender because their act of ignorantical maiming is permanent. Whatever they draw or write on your skin will never go away, and it cannot be removed; so you will wear the ignorantic wording on your body like a "Scarlet Letter" for the rest of your life. 

How do you keep this from happening? One way of preventing this irreversible catastrophe is to do what Kindergarten teachers do with their students; you write the word correctly for the tattoo artist on a piece of paper. Second, if you know that your tattoo artist is an ignorantic but they draw beautifully, you should ask them to stay away from calligraphy. Calligraphy will confuse an ignorantic and induce them to add extra curves for style that will eventually turn into letters that are incorrect. 

I would hate to see this happen to any of my readers, so here is another suggestion. If you know you are going to an ignorantic tattoo artist, give the artist the gift that keeps on giving, a pocket size dictionary. It is better than a tip and trust me they will love you for it. Just imagine...you can prevent future mishaps and permanent scars on other bodies. Any words that are unfamiliar or hard for them to say in a sentence, they can quickly refer to the dictionary and instantly a catastrophe has been averted. 

Also, when dealing with an ignorantic tattoo artist, stay away from foreign languages. If they can't spell it correctly in English, what makes you think it will be spelled correctly in a foreign language? Suggesting a foreign language to an ignorantic tattoo artist is like giving crack to a crack addict. Both know it is no good for them, but they just gotta take the trip. A trip that will lead to nowhere. Don't do it...save yourself the embarrassment of being detained in a foreign country because your tattoos have somehow offended someone or some government inadvertently. 

Here are more examples of people who weren't so lucky:

...and finally, look at this next infraction. This ignorantic spent so much time confused about the spelling, his misspelling became "art". The tattoo says "...and it's better to be rediculous..." This is a classic case of misplaced ignoranticism. This tattoo artist was so focused on the red rose that those thoughts transcended into the words. Moreover, the tattoo has also become red with irritation making this tattoo a truly "rediculous" mess!

  1. Tattoos are generally ugly (to me). Poor grammar and misspellings make them offensive....
