Huh. I’ve never heard this word before. You’d think that the book tour and speaking engagements would keep her busy enough, but it appears that Sarah Palin is moonlighting as a tattoo artist now.

We all know that tattoo guns don’t have spell check. Can hardly blame this guy for taking the artist’s word for how it is supposed to be spelled, I mean come on, spelling is hard!
&?%$ing dictionaries – how do they work?!?
!!!!!!!!!!
it just…..it just never gets old!!!!!
And where have you been, Ben?
ALL UP IN THE INTERWEBS!!!
it’s a shame that die antwoord never became a proper meme
No, no it doesn’t! My SO and I are constantly saying things like, “&$#@” staples – how do they work?
I could go on all day.
Whatever… it’s staggering to me that people can’t be bothered to look up the spelling of a word. There are actual online dictionaries where you can type in even the remotest spelling of a word and they will come up with the correct spelling for you. Take the seven seconds needed to confirm the spelling before you get the word in question tattooed on your ENTIRE FUCKING FLANK! But still… even as a tattoo artist… seeing epic fails like this makes me smile.
<———-see?
I read this 3 times looking for spelling errors. You win this round.
Well, I guess if you sound it out, you might get an extra r…. A for erffort!
That extra ‘r’ was included FREE OF CHARGE. What a deal!
I’ve been wasting a lot of time on NotAlwaysRight.com, and evidently some tattoo customers are REALLY insistent that their misspelled designs are spelled correctly and that’s exactly how they want it tattooed, period. And most tattooists are snarky mofos who are all “okay, if that’s what you really want…” I mean if you have to draw Care Bears and pot leaves all day, you have to learn not to judge people’s designs too much.
Man … sounds like my sister-in-law.
If she went to a tattoo artist that had a big ol’ 5 inch thick Funk & Wagnall’s sitting there open to whatever word she was arguing over, she’d still insist she was right, and it was wrong. Period. PERIOD!!
Is that a M*A*S*H reference? Bravo. Ya’ know, Palin can see Korea from her house, when she is atop her high horse that is.
A tattoo artist always has the right to say, “screw you, I’m not tattooing you with that misspelled word”.
I hope this guy went to like five of those before he found the one artist that would do it.
I’m not a big fan of word tattoos. They always have the same typeset, and always have some cheasy message, hope faith ext. I just don’t cafe for bumper sticker platitudes., I don’t think this is Sarah Palin’s work. If it was hers’ then it would say perserverancey. YOU BETCHA
MAVERICK!
Dude has a NICE chest. I find my commitment to correct spelling flagging.
True, the man is quite good-looking. And as much of a spelling-Nazi as I am, I might not even catch the error in a different setting.
unless ya’ll are blax,YUCK!!!
A little jealous, are we? Black, white, whatever, that is one fine man there!!
The tattoo is really ugly, but the word – without the mistake – is beautiful.
So, it’s a french word wich apparently doesn’t exist in english or it’s not the good grammar in english … But, in french it’s right ^^’
The word exists in English, but is spelled perseverance. It also exists in French (persévérance), but still not spelled correctly on this tattoo. So in French, it’s still not right.
Yeah, in I hope he is French or Swiss…
Jebus H. Christ, the “artist” and client are not merely spelling challenged, they have some serious kerning and type point issues to boot.
If he mistakenly took his inspiration from Sarah Palin, he can always get Maxine Waters to defend it even in the face of the evidence.
It’s supposed to be “perseverance”, of course, but it’s a very common misspelling — over a million hits on the goog.
How do you get the number of hits to show? Does yours show in the type box? I still see screen caps that show the number of hits, but mine hasn’t shown that in a long time.
He also appears to have another sentence ending in his armpit, of which I can only read ‘Greens’. Maybe further up his arm it says ‘Eat Your’, in which case I forgive him his illiteracy in the name of good nutrition.
lol
Learn to spell, AND PULL UP YOUR PANTS!
No he’s not pulling them down to show his ink.
I wish the young men of America(and abroad I’m sure) new how douchey this looks, besides the fact they’re hitchin up their pants all day. Pants on the ground, pants on the ground, lookin like a fool wit ‘cho pants on the ground……………………
Too true. A cautionary tale on that: A guy I went to high school with ended up in prison; when running away from a B&E, his pants fell down, making him fall flat on his face and thus allowing the cops enough time to catch him. He’s a candidate to appear on hear with a “Thugh’s Life” tattoo or something equally stupid, I’m sure.
My nephew was a deputy in a nearby parish; he and the boys LOVED the floppy pants. You can’t run in the things, not without dumping whatever you’ve got in your hands and grabbing hold. He says you can just about catch these guys at a fast walk.
Carlton has sure bulked up since the Fresh Prince of Bel-air ended.
Yep, the guy’s quite perserverant at the gym… hence the tattoo.
Well, at least he didn’t spell “corpsman” as “corpseman.” Because I have it on very good authority that that’s how it’s pronounced.
We love the corpse…
Think he’s figured it out yet?
nope. I can guarantee neither of them as realized it
We get it, you guys are Cheezeburger networks don’t like a Sarah Palin, or conservatives, or the tea party, or any republican. I get it, we all get it.
Please kindly STFU and leave political stuff at the pundit site where I can continue to ignore it. All politicians suck, the sooner you realize that the happier you will be.
And lo, the Interweb did bend to your will
Aw I read the comments just for you- if you don’t like it go somewhere else. And yes, all politicians suck, but not all suck as much as Sarah Palin.
Maybe he’s a waiter who is persevering at serving, hence “perserverance”??
AW! You know in these 57 states, sometimes things just get a little wee-wee’d up!
it’s french word !! la persévérance !!
LMFAO!!!
Ha ha I know the artist that tattooed this! He’s got a horrible rap for misspelling words/ tattoos…. maybe we should have an intervention and show him this.
This time it wasn’t all my fault, the client came in with the misspelled word and maybe i should have checked first so maybe some blame on my part. But shit happens. I have shit misspelled on me by a artist that’s been tattooing for a lot longer than me. Its bound to happen a few times throughout your career in tattooing. The guys tattoo was free and he still left smiling. Thanks for the kind words.
Your misspelled friend
mom bak an ho dedo mo tesa mane (2q + 2q) = 4q Word!
The colour of the cubicle walls in the background make me wonder if this pic was taken at his local H&R Block.
Perhaps, he’s the boy toy of one of the accountants and she wanted to show him off to make her lady co-workers jealous. And evidenced by the comments above, most ladies wouldn’t care about proper spelling when it comes to studs and boy toys.
I even cant read it.
perse means ass in finnish…but I have no idea what “perserverance” means!
So totally no joke! I know this tattoo shop! It’s Cry Baby Ink In Eugene, Oregon. It’s sad to see such a huge mistake from a good shop like that.
Of course, it’s Sarah Palin’s fault that a person so stupid that he has never heard of Sarah Palin got a stupid tattoo.
Are you Obama suck ups so sick you can’t see reality?
it is just so easy to group stupidity with sarah palin cos everytime she says something to the normal I.Q.’ed person it sounds stupid.plus shes known for making up words ala bush
Totally worked at this shop, with that artist! He defiantly had a problem spelling.. Funny thing is the client conformed the spelling! Seen this happen many times and the client always conforms the spelling then a couple of days later… I even seen a lady misspell her own daughters name! Good ol’ Cry Baby Ink, sure glad those days are behind me!
This is an amazing thing!!!! This Whole blog has made my day and I will laugh for a long time over this!!!!
reminds me of this
it is actually a word… get an education you idiots…
No, it’s not…..so……you’re dumb.
Welp, looks like we know who’s getting hired next at Cry Baby Ink tattoo parlor. … Marti…
i guess that’s what you get when you get a tattoo in Oregon,from a tattoo shop based outta the mall,by an “artist” who dropped outta high school.
sorry LaMicheal
this word is in French…. no big deal here… Persévérance means to keep going…
In french you right : persévérance hahaha not perserverance! wow.
In french is : persévérance. Hahaha not perserverance! Wow.
Clearly the words just aren’t separated well enough. What he intended to convey was, that PER his SEVERANCE he can now afford to spend all his time at the gym (and all his money on “suppliments” ‘n’ stuff).
Dang, misread the misreading tat, so that doesn’t even work, sorry.
