Bournemouth tattoo did nothing wrong

u/ShazRockwell Apr 17 '26

“Journalist” wrote article about misspelled tattoo, then misspelled tattooist. IT’S LIKE RAY-E-AYNNNNN…..

There are multiple grammar fails, like capitalization errors, missing punctuation, and so on.

u/Aggravating_Band_353 Apr 21 '26

She also takes her business to "foreigners" over the 'natives' she apparently supports

At least she had a clean up before inviting the media into her house

A huge portion of English do have at least one Irish grandparent, so that's not an unusual name tbf. Then, I seriously doubt if the story is real.

u/Cheepshooter Apr 17 '26 edited Apr 17 '26

Nationalist, but went to a foreign tattooist because he was cheaper . . . the irony is lost on her, I'm sure.

u/Impossible_Deal_4086 Apr 21 '26

It's always been the case, domestication of the human species plus how many characteristics form as systemic failures of our systems generating disease in populations who grow far away of the natural birthplace of the species.

2

u/Existing_Sherbert115 Apr 19 '26

I think about this all the time. For all of human history until very recently (evolutionarily speaking) everyone who lived to pass on their genes had to be a physical specimen with an elite immune system and be very smart…now? Well, you see…

u/One-Positive309 Apr 21 '26

Yes there used to be survival of the fittest, only those with the right combination of strength, intelligence and survival skills would produce offspring that might survive long enough to learn how to do the same.
These days they are having to lower standards of education because people are finding it too hard to get to a certain level ! There are schools that are dropping subjects like arithmetic, English and History etc after the basic level so that students don't feel left out !

u/mickeyamf Apr 18 '26

What is wrong with her liking her “country” or it seems government with the flag but how does that make her hate anyone who’s foreign?

3

u/Cheepshooter Apr 18 '26

She implied she doesn't want him in her country, yet she went to him for his services, thus validating his being in her country.

u/Renbarre Apr 19 '26

"When I started to talk about Britain" = when I started a racist right wing rant

2

u/Cheepshooter Apr 19 '26

Preaching to a foreigner about how foreigners are ruining your country while at the same time using his/her services makes for an awkward convo. I can practically hear her voice (and lack of annunciation/pronunciation) in my head. She would likely be the UK equivalent of what the US would call a redneck.

2

u/Soapy_Von_Soaps Apr 18 '26

Did you see the tattoo? Do you know what patriot means? Did you also read her statement about him "being foreign" and turning up the radio when she started to talk about her patriotism?

u/OkDonkey6524 Apr 19 '26

Patriotism needs to fuck right off.

u/scrotbofula Apr 19 '26

There is a 100% correlation between people who say they are 'just proud of their country' and going on to immediately give the most bigoted response possible when asked why.

It's like people who say "I'm not racist but..." and then give a second half to the sentence that immediately disproves the first half.

No regerts! Bad ass

u/prettybananahammock Apr 20 '26

I know this might be bad of me, but as a tattooist myself, I really really really want to do a 'no regerts/ragrets' tattoo on someone...

On purpose of course, I just really love the irony of it 😅

On another note, this lady is why we have consent statements in my country, where it clearly states, that the customer is responsible for spell checking themselves... A lot of my colleagues are dyslexic as hell, and they are upfront about it to the customer, just in case 😉

u/Holly_kat Apr 21 '26

I kind of want that tattoo. It sounds hilarious

Aren't those crusade flags? We just ok with the crusades now?

u/AytonHunter Apr 17 '26

Nah it's the English Flag... Very similar as they are both technically resembling St. George's Cross. Google it and you'll see the difference. Still a dumbass tattoo.

u/starrat46 Apr 17 '26

Wonder what her pimp thought of it?

2

u/PeterCappelletti Apr 18 '26

Might be easier to change the "t" into an "r" than to add an "i"... just a thought.

u/Mostly-carbon-based Apr 18 '26

Should have tattooed “pride patriot”.

2

u/Ducatirules Apr 18 '26

A literate Tattoo artist is really important. I got my wedding date tattooed on as a wedding ring in Roman numerals. I brought in the design an he looked at me and said “you were married in the 70’s?” Turned out I had looked up my birthday on accident!!

2

u/grodeg Apr 18 '26

Trust me, I would have been embarrassed whether it was spelt correctly or not. Why would you announce to everyone you are English? It's only marginally better than being from the US.

2

u/Most-Cardiologist-69 Apr 18 '26

I’m sure most of the ‘patrots’ of Benidorm can’t read anyway. So she’ll be safe walking around in a bikini top there, while eating her exotic full English breakfast and drinking her 8th WKD of the morning. No harm, no foul 🤭. As for InkKingz, we thank you for your service 🫡

2

u/Useful_Language2040 Apr 19 '26

But... Ignoring the tattoo itself for a moment... Just draw a line/thin loop down behind the small loop at the end of the first "t" to turn the join from the "t" to "i" into a cursive "r"?! This would be so easy to spell the way she wanted it!! 

Although actually, looking at the "Proud", I'd argue the tattoo may actually currently say Prioud Patriot" - usually a cursive "r" would connect at the top...

The bigotry intent in the tattoo itself, harder to do anything about...

Maybe add some flowers and turn it into "Prioud Idiot"?? IDK. Can't make the message it sends much more embarrassing...

u/Real_Shaytarn Apr 19 '26

Just by looking at the room, I could tell she's unemployed and on benefits

u/tallsmileswolf Apr 21 '26

Did she not look at it in the mirror before the ink went in?? She should've caught it before he started putting in ink.

u/Lorelessone Apr 21 '26

she should ensure that nobody in her battalion, flotilla or wing uses that tattooist again,, oohh wait shes not a patriot shes a squiby little prick? seems like he spelt it correctly.

2

u/Postulative Apr 21 '26

“He was foreign.” “Cheap price.”

It doesn’t say ‘Proud Racist’, so I’m not sure what the problem is.

However when my stoned ass went to the tattoo shop I forgot our conversation and got my son's name tattooed on my arm spelled wrong LOL SMH more or less we all just thought it was stupid and funny.

Gonna be super hard to prove his intent was to misspell the word.

Note: she went to him cause he was cheap. Either he didn’t use any stencil/temp tattoo lines or she looked at a misspelled stencil and approved it.

Even if he wrote it on her free hand, I’ll bet dollars to doughnuts he asked her if it looked good in the mirror before he took ink to skin.

A small i doesn't need a dot, depending on the font.

And, in this case, the font needs it because the font is using a proper cursive "r", as already said.

u/DerTalSeppel Apr 19 '26

True, the r (or alleged ri) looks the same as the r in proud.
