THE one time youd hope never to encounter a spelling mistake is when youre getting your childs name etched on your person. Tattoos, like children, are for life.
Unfortunately one Swedish mother fell victim to an embarrassing typo after her tattooist misspelled her son Kevins name as Kelvin.
But rather than let it get her down and face an expensive, painful removal process 30-year-old Johanna Giselhäll Sandström had an ingenious solution: She had her sons name legally changed.
I said I wanted the names of my children tattooed on me and I gave the artist their names. The artist drew the design and didnt ask anything about the spelling so I didnt give it any more thought.
It wasnt until later she noticed the glaring mistake.
She returned to the artist, who laughed and said there wasnt anything he could do apart from issue a refund.
After looking at tattoo removal, she and her husband came to the decision that the smarter option would be to rename the boy, who was aged almost two at the time.

I use to call this one fellow coworker Kelvin, when his name was actually Kevin.
The poor guy just made it too fun to resist.

her tattooist misspelled her son Kevins name as Kelvin. Excellent! Now he won't be destined to play in traffic. Of course he might turn out to be an absolute zero, but what can you do.

Could have just had the tattoo “artist” turn the ell into an exclamation mark.
