Twitter Thread: Neighbor Creates Mind-Blowingly Wholesome Fairy Experience

@SaystheFox found some hard times and put that energy into making some magic happen for a kid in their neighborhood. It's probably some of the more wholesome stuff we've seen. Also, points for getting the parents in on it because without that this whole thing would probably be the creepiest thing we've ever experienced. For more wholesomeness, here's some wholesome memes to keep the feels intact and a quick tumblr post on kids language struggles.

Stupid Mistakes Tattoo Artists Witnessed

Tattoos can be tricky business. One typo or slip of the hand can have someone wearing "I love moom" on their bicep for the rest of their life. Tattoo artists take multiple precautions to idiot-proof the process, but we still end up with tattoo choices that have people asking questions. Sometimes the customers themselves are uncontrollable, like in the case of this male Karen who didn't believe a tattoo shop owner.

I don't do freehand script so I put the letters into a font generator and sent him back some options. He picked the one he liked best and we set an appointment date. On the day of his session, I showed him the acronym again and we chose a size. I placed the stencil and he approved it and I got started. Midway through the tattoo I asked him what the letters s

There was a girl getting tattooed at the next station over with a talkative friend. The friend was talking about her shitty tattoo on the back of her neck. It was supposed to be a genie lamp, but looked more like a shitty teapot as she described it. She says something about her hometown, and my artist perks up, a

It was a line of script on the side of a foot, and a last minute addition to a couple other tattoos they were getting. I quickly knocked it together on photoshop and nothing looked out of place, the client approved, so I made the stencil. The real fuckup is that I didn't ask them to spellcheck... I ALWAYS ask them to spellcheck, exce

Text - Fixing the O was easy and I was able to turn the E and W into a wide loopy W and add a bit of extra loops and flourish to other letters so that it looked totally fine in the end albeit a bit stylized. She was happy in the end and still comes to get work from me. Ten years of tattooing and that one still haunts me. There have been other mistakes but they're mostly the clients fault... things like dads getting their children's birthdays wrong (happens a lot actually. Dude, I don't know what

Text - "What E?" I reply in dismay! "The E! Bently has an E!" So I show him what he had written down, and he groans, "oh man, I always fuck that up... my wife is going to kill me!" So I sit down with the original drawing and manage to turn part of the L and the Y into an E, add another couple lines to re-form the L and Y, and boom: Bentley. It worked out in the end and I felt like and absolute wizard, but fuck, DUDE, it's your kid's name and you didn't notice the spelling was wrong the 10 times

A guy came in and wanted "Murphys law"...the artist freehanded a design on him, he green lit it after watching in the mirror and they did a beautiful piece with a banner saying "murpys law". Seemed fitting. The guy loved the fact that his one messed up tattoo was the murphys law one.

He spelled it "neigborhood", leaving out the first "H". Neighborhood was the guys nickname. It was a pretty large, elaborate tattoo so there was no fixing it. I don't think I have ever cringed so hard in my life. The guy was surprisingly really cool about it. He did see the drawing and approved it before

Some lady comes in and wants a pocket watch with roses in her arm, so my coworker agrees to do it. The client specifically wanted the pocket watch to be stopped at "4:20" He draws it up for her right arm and she's soooo excited, but for some reason she decides to change it to the left arm last minute. No problem, he runs i

Turns out the guy drew up a design of “A Leprechaun throwing up on a book"... Sure, why not, everyone was sober and they were paying pounds upfront. Easy work- the drawing was really simple and the shading was easier than I thought it'd be. Turn

Text - Comes in about ten days later, demanding a refund of money HE didn't pay or the studio, not me, cover it up. Nope, management said you signed for it in your right mind and than damaged it yourself, personally I was yelled at and told NEVER tattoo anyone like that, it only works in television series or film. Did I make a mistake? Yes and no. The lesson here is don't get involved in others drama when permanent body marking are involved.

By guiding I mean roasting everything he was doing. It was a fairly simple Sailor Jerry pinup maybe 3 colors. The guide made him use 6 colors. Like the skin color on it is skin colored ink. It took 5 hours. The whole time the guide is saying stuff like "why the fck did you pick that color next?" Or "No, no, no! Don't do that you'l

On the last visit, they call me in to look at it to show me how awesome it turned out. Well, all the steering wheels were on the wrong side and the reason no one caught it was because the dude was looking in a mirror to check his progress so they loo

I had 3 pros watching as I drew a geisha freehanded on his back while he was hunched over. When the design was laid out, he checked it in the mirror and was good with it so I began lining it.

He was freehanding most of it. At one point, he hit a really sensitive spot and I involuntarily kicked. "Oops, well that's a rock now" is all he said and made it blend in seamlessly with the rest of the piece.

"Not My Job" Moments of Professional Ineptitude

There are loads of reasons to have a "not my job" moment. Maybe your boss didn't give you the proper tools. Maybe you had to do twice as much work in half the time. It could be that you seriously don't care. Or it could be that you're just seriously bad at it. For those or any other reasons, we see a whole lot of unprofessional "not my job" moments unleashed onto the world. We are here for it.
