I will never ever get bored of badly spelled tattoos - surely it is one of the most unfortunate situations to be in.

I am very concerned about receiving badly spelled tattoos and paranoia did set in when I had my tattoo done, with much spell checking requested by everyone I met.

Anyway, here is a fresh batch of badly spelled tattoos, from “summmer” to the classic “your” and the “tradgedy” which is in fact a total disaster.
