You’re!!! Sorry it’s all I can see. The other mistake took a while for me to see. I can’t comprehend not checking and double checking and triple checking your tattoo before and throughout the process.
It should read “You’re stronger than you think”, an apostrophe and an e need to be added to the first “your”, and the r needs to be removed from the second “your”.
Really? No sh!t.
Ah, I see Mr. Obvious’ first name is Troy.
If I may suggest something that could help?The word you are could be used correctly and without contraction and stop some of this awful grammer.
If would proof read I could catch errors of my own.Grammar not grammer.But Hey its it;s it is not on my body forever.
*giggle*
lmao right?!
So close and yet….no, wait….you weren’t even close. FAIL!
i….
i’m amazed. really.
I giggled. At least you caught your own goof and, like you said, you didn’t put that on your body forever.
Nice joke. I agree, contractions occasionally do more harm than good, especially for the semi-illiterate side of the population.
I think my think is stronger than your might think it is
horrible placing, horrible font, horrible grammar.
the “artist” should be banned from tattooing again until he can pass a remedial english course and possibly an art / graphic design course.
this is someone who should have gone for some pretraced flash.
Indeed, often I have to wonder why passing a basic English exam is not a requirement of gaining a license to tattoo. Especially after seeing some of the travesties of spelling, syntax, and grammar that I’ve seen on this site so far.
Also – just nitpicking here – I think of all the phrases I’d want to have permanently inked into my skin, I’d want something perhaps a little more poetic and powerful. This sounds like something you’d maybe want to write on the inside of your palm before a big speech or something.
I’ve seen a number of tattoos with the same saying, a number of which included a typo. On the surface it sounds like someone was going for something deep and meaningful, but couldn’t come up with something, so they resorted to browsing through a few pages of their “Affirmation a Day” desk calendar and tearing off one that sounded deep.
At some point – and yes, I’m invoking the Tattoo Rule of Probability here – we’re going to see someone with a Stuart Smiley (Al Franken) “I’m good enough, I’m smart enough, and doggone it, people like me!” tattoo. At least that would be amusing.
Nah, she failed. Should be “shtronger” there, then everything would be just fine.
Really? I thought it was supposed to be ‘stranger’
if the slurring is from 3 bottles of rotgut then i suppose the tattoo would seem better (or at least so blurred that you wouldn’t notice it).
5 words, three mistakes. FAIL.
At the risk of being ridiculed for being an idiot, I only see two mistakes (the first and fourth words). What would be the third mistake?
Three? I think I’m missing one.
Having it done at all = 3rd
LOL!
nice save!
Too bad you couldn’t tag the name of the artist/shop to each of these abortions… might help people out when looking for future tattoo work.
Come on, this had to be done in some dude’s basement.
hey now. I have a basement tattoo that turned out just fine (;
I tried an image search and the closest I get is that it was originally posted on Facebook. There are WAY too many tags with the phrase “2nd tattoo” on there to find the origin of this one, though. I was hoping to trace it and find who the
artistidiottattooist is who laid the ink down on thisdipshitstupid tartwoman.my think is having a really hard time with this one…hope i can stay strong
your as dumb
as your ink
Oooh, nicely played!
I’d like to slap the “artist” and the person who got this. Then again, maybe they could just do a giant penis tattoo cover-up, then everything would be fixed!
heh, or a crappy butterfly cover-up.
Only one mistake here…it should be “then”.
This is a list. The first itme on the list is my stronger, and the second is my think. Of course, I have no clue what my stronger or my think are.
Actually, than is the proper word to use here. Than is for comparisons: how she is (stupid) compared to how she thinks of herself (deep).
Once she got the tattoo people started making fun of her, THEN she realized how stupid she was. Then is a time word.
Oh wait, I see your joke. Sorry.
ha! i like it. win ^^
My thinks she got what she deserves.
My think? I’m stronger than my think? Damn right, my think has been wonky for years.
haha…wonky think
I’m there with you…lol
There is three mistakes…. It was supposed to be smarter not stronger.
*are
My think is strong enough to know she’s stupid.
win^
My stronger than my think?
Your sooo meenys u suk.
Things like this make me think that contractions should be banned from the English language
This one would be stupid without the errors. “You’re stronger than you think.” In fancy script across the shoulder. Blah. Trite, unimaginative placement, cliché sentiment, etc. To have compounded all that bad sense with stupid grammar and typographical errors is practically criminal.
I disagree. I use a similar affirmation: “You are braver then you beleive and stronger then you seemed and smarter then you think.” when I am having trouble in my proofreading class at the Learning Annex. It’s helped me alot!
“You are braver than you believe and stronger than you seemed and smarter than you think.
1 sentence
16 words
4 errors in grammar or spelling=
Proofreading class fail
It has not helped you a lot.
oh, and you forgot the “alot” bit at the end of his comment….nicely done D.coli!
Uhm, Mr. Oblivious–definitely oblivious to imitation being a fun source of mockery.
FTW, Mr Oblivious!
My think told me to say that thes little affirmations people get ink on their bodies forever might be a bit better suited to a small book.That way you would have a variety to chose from you in case your feelings chan
ge from day to day.On the other hand my stronger doesn’t give a shit.
I think it’s a quate from a winnie the pooh movie. Not the book, one of those terrible ones that came out way later.
Hah! You Googled it! Check the link – it’s not the same.
Maybe she can add other words to the end of each line so that it makes sense.. like two sentences across her back. I’m not witty enough to come up with something.
“Your Stronger Tea
Than Your Thinkity”
that was all i could come up with that rhymed and included what she already had. it makes more sense than what is already there though.
I was looking up the word “think” to see how many nouns have the letters “think” at the beginning. The only one that I found that works is “think tank” it’s a “a piece of writing meant to be thought-provoking and speculative that consists chiefly of background material and personal opinion and analysis”
So the 2 sentences that I came up with are:
Your Stronger Brother Is A Better Writer. His Think Tank Is Better Than Your Think Tank.
Pretty poetic if I do say so myself…there really isn’t a good way to fix this terrible tattoo….she should scrape it off with a razor blade. The scar will look better than this.
lmfao….. i think scraping it off with a razor blade would be better than actually spending one more dime adding to this atrocity.
Oh my lord that is hilarious!! I’m in fits of laughter and can hardly type!! LOLLOLLOL.
You’ve caught me at the right moment of over-exposure to crap tattoos, and hyper-caffeinated softdrink.. bless you an what ever tea you drink.
Are both the ‘artist’ and customer intoxicated when creating this? Actually, I think I have better grammar when intoxicated. There is no good excuse.
Here’s a way to fix it: “Your stronger” brother is smarter “than your think”ing brain cell.
That’s assuming either she and/or whoever did the tat have a brain cell between them.
I’m not a smart woman.
BUT I KNOW WHAT PROPER PUNCTUATION IS!
*slams door with hands on hips*
I think even Forrest Gump would know better.
If your hands are on your hips, what did you use to slam the door?
Her hip
Your tattoo artist was your worst enemy, your screwed!
Or “you’re screwed” if you had been paying attention.
Good point – maybe the artist was tattooing his ex, or it was a female artist tattooing the girl who slept with her boyfriend (who both think she was too stupid to have found out about them, but guess what?) All sorts of interesting possibilities here…
Well at least it says ‘than’, instead of ‘then’
Just trying to look on the bright side LOL
Am I the only one who thought “WTF IS UP WITH HER SHOULDER” at first glance? Because really… What the fuck?
A double-whammy!
No, see, what she’s saying is “your brawn > your brain”.
Multiple interpretations FTW
bahahaha!
Sure is that the tattoo artist is weaker than his “think”.
But, how success is your intelligent?
I think this person not get there.
LOL again!!! You people are killing me….
Does anyone think the tattooist and the unwitting proverb board have notice the errors, and if they realised just after the photo was taken what dialogue took place?
two times the fail for your money!
oh wait 3 times the fail cause the little bubble that pops up when you have your cursor over the picture says “not when it comes to grammar your not” goood times
To bad the artist grammer skills weren’t stronger. Hookt on phonics realli workt foor mi.
Oh man. I think people pretty much have to be drunk to allow this kind of thing to happen. your average tattoo artist is not known to be the pinnacle of academia, you might want to proofread his grammar just a touch. If you yourself are also sixth-grade-writing-level challenged, maybe bring along a smart friend.
[...] here’s something new. The grammar misfires we see around here are usually still a known spelling of an actual word, but it appears that we’re now moving [...]
