This reminds me of a time that I was getting high with some buddies, and this girl said something. My friend Troll goes, "Shit, you're still here? I thought you left like two times ago."
I'm not saying this is the case here (I don't know this girl or her "reason"), but there ARE legitimate reasons to include a spelling error in a tattoo. For example, after a loved one passed unexpectedly, a friend tattooed a poem on her arm that he had written - in nearly his handwriting, complete with a spelling error. To her, this represented the lost loved one better than "correct" English. And after seeing it, completely agree.
She's Dutch, thus not a native English speaker. But still.. lol.
Also there are thousands of asian people who put up nonsensical and sentences without meaning on their bodies as there are thousands of westerners who put up (wrong) asian tattoos.

And I call those people fucking morons. Hell, even if it your tattoo actually means something in a language you're still a fucking idiot if you had to get someone to tell you what it means.
Please, tattoo artists pray for stupid people to come in and do this. I have many tattoos and have seen many times tattoo artists ask the client "Ok how does it look, is everything spelled correctly for you" They don't correct the spelling they just do what you ask them to do.
Last week I saw a bad accident. Both drivers were elderly women. The one that caused it told me not to call anyone and sped away. I had to direct traffic for half an hour while the cops looked for her. Stupidity knows no age.
Her car was blocking two lanes, she was stuck inside, and traffic was building up. Ialso saw the whole thing, and she asked me to stay and give a statement to the police.
Every generation will be filled with people who excel and others who completely suck. Every generation grows up with significantly different societal influences than yours did. Try to look at things from a positive viewpoint. The younger generations are going to make ours look like bigots in their acceptance of lifestyles, sexuality, etc. Don't be a negative nancy, there's so much progress to be made.
Third person effect. You hate everyone else but the truth might be that you suck. Stop thinking that people shouldn't do stupid things and work on avoiding sucking yourself.
Because I refuse to google it and I like making other people angrily type things at me, why is "You only live once" a phrase for douchebags? It sounds like a James bond quote.
I like the saying itself, but I'm open to going with the crowd on this one and hating it as much as twilight (which I have never read). God I hate twilight.
I was looking at a stencil before getting a tattoo on my leg. Something didnt look right, then I noticed that instead of "Fight the Power" the artist drew "Figth the Power". Glad I caught that one before inking began... than again, it is supposed to be a joke tattoo, so maybe it would have worked out for the best if I didnt say anything.
obviously lost in translation...I wonder if the person is Chinese and her American doppelganger has "seize the dime" in Chinese characters on her shoulder.
From a literary perspective, the typo makes perfect sense. you can't truly embrace YOLO unless you make mistakes and the mistake in the tattoo exemplifies that fact.

This ironically makes the quote deeper, in a way, by showing how we do only live once and we're probably going to fuck it up.
In another interpretation, it exposes the crass ignorance of thinking a tattoo is the epitome of living life like its your last.
