On social media, many viewers were stunned after a man shared that his tattoo turned into a disaster when the artist misspelled ‘Sprite’ as ‘Spite’.
A man’s attempt at getting a “Sprite” tattoo didn’t go as planned. Instead, he ended up with the word “Spite” inked onto his arm.
Tattoo mishap turns into a hilarious mistake
A Reddit user recently shared his tattoo fail, revealing how his request for the word “Sprite” resulted in an unexpected typo.
Instead of the name of the popular soda brand, the tattoo artist mistakenly inked “Spite” onto a can design.
Despite the error, the man found humor in the situation. He captioned his post, “I love my spite can,” sparking laughter across the online community.
Social media reacts to the ‘spite can’
On social media, many Reddit users quickly embraced the mistake, turning it into an inside joke.
While, some even suggested that the typo made the tattoo better.
“That can of spite has charm, though,” one commenter wrote.
Another added, “I think the spite can is pretty nifty.”
While a third commented: Yes! He should just say it was done on purpose though.
Someone else said: That’s a good tattoo…IN PRISON!
Another user commented: It’s like when you’re trying to use AI to generate an image for you.
The original poster encouraged others to share their worst tattoos, leading to a wave of bizarre submissions.
Other tattoo disasters shared by users
Among the most unusual tattoos submitted were:
– An inverse mermaid with a fish head and human legs.
– A childhood pet memorial that looked like an abstract blob.
– A poorly drawn snail that appeared to be sketched by a child.
Although these tattoos were strange, they didn’t compare to some of the most infamous ink disasters.
Past tattoo fails that shocked the internet
Previously, tattoo mistakes are more common than people think.
In December, a woman’s lip tattoo left her with massively swollen lips, scaring her husband.
Another viral fail involved a TikTok user who let a friend tattoo her eyebrows, leaving her with what looked like two sets of brows on one eye.
Last summer, a Taylor Swift fan received backlash for a “tacky” full-back tattoo featuring the singer’s song and album titles.
Perhaps the most extreme case was a woman who unwillingly got a full-face tattoo. The incident reportedly made it difficult for her to find a job.
While some tattoo mishaps end in regret, this Reddit user chose to embrace his ” Spite” tattoo. Instead of being disappointed, he found joy in the unexpected result—proving that sometimes, mistakes can become great stories.
