There’s nothing worse than getting what you think is a Japanese proverb inked in your skin, and then later find out that it spells “Duck Soup.” You might think that such a scenario is seldom if not impossible, but these unfortunate possessors of badly-drawn misspelled tattoos will disagree.

This list shows you how your latest tattoo can go from dreamy to nightmarish as soon as someone with a better understanding of basic grammar sees it. Apparently, there are thousands of people out there who unknowingly inked simple miswriting texts onto their skin. Some are lucky to only miss a letter or an apostrophe, but others have entire poems tattooed on their backs.

It’s like having all your misspelled Google searches written on your body for everyone to see. Fortunately for us, these people posted their “trophies” online as a reminder that the next time you visit a tattoo shop, you better bring a thesaurus.
