Tatlexia Is No Laughing Matter

I’ve become insanely dependent on spell check the past decade or so. I’m not a bad speller, but sometimes in the flow of things my fingers go faster than my brain and I transpose a letter here or there. Sometimes I may even exchange one homophone for another. (heh heh…homophone…heh) Most of the time it doesn’t matter. I just run spell check or in the case of most of my writing it is in informal settings where it isn’t noticed or doesn’t matter. But there are sometimes when there IS no spell check and it DOES matter. For example, if you are a tatoo artist.  I encourage you to ask your tatoo artist for a writing sample before they load up their ink.

My friend Djave pointed out a gallery of pictures to me last week that is as amazing as it is tragic. Not only are there some really unfortunate misspellings, but there are also some people who haven’t learned that photographs rarely translate into tatoos very well. The picture above, I think you will agree, is downright horrifying

See the full gallery of grammatical, spelling, and photographical horrors here.

    That picture scares me ^^^

    Thank god, the tattoo I got of my husbands face didn’t turn out like that! However the guy who tattooed my name onto my hubby spelt my middle name wrong, which sucked.

    I was very suprised that this didn’t feature in the countdown…

    Apologies for double posting, but also was wondering if you had ever seen this tattoo of the gay mermen?
