Getting a tattoo is usually a highly calculated decision. It’s on you for life — so there can’t afford to be any mistakes.
But every once in a while, human-error peers its ugly head…
RELATED STORIES
Jessie J is a woman of many tattoos. Six to be exact.
They’re all relatively small, tasteful, and easily hidden.
Luckily for her, only one of them is flawed.
Firstly, she has a tattoo behind her ear of an upside down treble clef and bass clef in the shape of a heart.
Considering that she is a musician, it’s no surprise that she has a tattoo commemorating her passion.
“I wanted something that says I love music,” she told Independent .
On her left wrist she has a tattoo of a simple circle.
This one actually has a deep story behind it.
“Mum and Dad and I all got the same tattoo. Circle of love/trust Making memories and ticking things off their bucket list,” she wrote on Instagram.
She used to have a tattoo of a tiny stick man on her ankle, but she covered it up with an “X” along with a matching “O” tattoo on her other ankle.
These were done by the same artist that tattooed her matching wrist tattoo with her parents.
She also has a tattoo on her wrist that says “stand up” along with a small heart.
She hasn’t publicly spoken out about the meaning behind this tattoo, but it is inspirational nonetheless.
But her upper-thigh/hip tattoo is the one we’re calling in to question.
Yesterday Jessie posted a photo of herself in a bikini — showing off her colossally misspelled tattoo.
Before I reveal the tattoo, I gotta fill you in on the back story that makes this tattoo fail twice as epic.
Jessie J has a song called “Who You Are”. It’s a beautiful ballad about self-love and staying true to, you guessed it, who you are .
She got a few lyrics from this song — her own song , tattooed on her.
Unfortunately, one of the words was misspelled.
The lyric is supposed to be spelled: “Don’t lose who you are in the blur of the stars”.
But her tattoo reads: “Don’t loose who you are in the blur of the stars”.
Yikes!
But this mistake is something that Jessie is well-aware of.
“Yes my tattoo says… ‘don’t loose who you are in the blur of the stars’ Yes they are MY lyrics from my song who you are,” she wrote.
“Yes that I wrote. Yes I spelt the tattoo wrong. Yes I repeat it’s spelt wrong,” she went on.
“Yes I got it done in Essex Yes the tattoo artist didn’t mention it”.
“Yes I was 18,” she continued.
“Yes I still don’t know the difference between lose and loose. Yes It’s the reason I wear everything high waisted”.
She wrapped up her caption by telling fans she doesn’t need them to point out her flaws because she lives with them everyday.
“And YES I know I have small boobs. Don’t waste your time telling me like I don’t see them everyday,” she said.
“Don’t @ me K bye,” she finished.
I don’t know about you, but I think I love her even more now for shutting up the haters before they even had a chance to speak.
And to be completely fair, she did get the tattoo when she was 18 years old.
18-year-olds make mistakes — it’s just what they do. Unfortunately, for Jessie, it’s one that she’ll have to live with forever unless she wants to undergo the painful and hardly effective process of tattoo removal.
Thank goodness for high-waisted pants!
Let us know what you think of Jessie’s misspelled tattoo.
Should she get it removed? Cover it up? Or just own it?
