19 tattoo artists share the worst mistake they've ever made and how the client reacted.

Everyone makes the occasional mistake at work. I've made 10 this morning and it's not even noon. But in certain professions those mistakes can have much more disastrous consequences, such as: airline pilots, surgeons, and tattoo artists. There's a reason I became a blogger instead of a tattoo artist—because I'm prone to typos.

Someone asked tattoo artists of Reddit: "what was your worst mistake and how did the client react?" These 19 tattoo artists share the worst mistake they've ever made permanently on a person's body:

1.) From tinawww:

So I didn’t mess up but I had a client scare me, I was tattooing his sister’s name on him (she passed away). “Gabriela” with 1 (L) in it. Past the point of no return he asks me “there’s 2 L’s, right?” I think I had a heart attack, and he started laughing. He thought it was hilarious, I died a little and pretended to laugh
