My Irish Tattoo From Hell Story
Not really mine but my friend's.

My friend is very proud of her Irish heritage, and so she went to have the words "erin go bragh" tattooed over her heart. Her spelling expert was her brother, who told her it was spelled "braugh."

She's still getting treatments on the scar left by the removal procedure.

The moral: never let your brother spell anything.

1. I thought braugh was an accepted alternate spelling.

4. She's such a proud Irish, she can't be bothered to look up her own homeland's motto?
"Yeah, I'm really dedicated to this idea or belief, except I don't really know what it means or how it's spelled correctly... Ink it on me, Sluggo!"
