Getting a tattoo is on most adventurous people’s bucket lists. Unquestionably, having something that will stay with you forever no matter what is an extraordinary experience. But, unfortunately for those who want to get their favorite quote inked on their skin, there is no autocorrect for tattoos. So, naturally, mistakes happen, especially if spelling is not amongst the tattoo artist’s skills.
Here are 20+ of the most hilarious tattoo grammar & spelling fails:
1. Maybe it was supposed to say “No pain no gain.” Maybe this person takes pens quite seriously.
2. The difference between “you’re” and “your” appears to be a problem for tattoo artists as well.
As Ross from Friends once emphasized: “Y-O-U-apostrophe -R -E means ‘You are’ And Y-O-U-R means ‘Your’!”

3. The same goes for “then” and “than.”
4. Getting a tattoo is certainly a serious “dicision.”
5. Who cares about grammar when you have a positive mindset.
6. Too busy to add an “o” after “to” to make the quote make sense.
