Man mocked for getting tattoo with very different meaning

The man was inked with what he thought was a sentimental saying — only to find out he’d actually gotten something entirely different.

An ink lover has been mocked for getting a Gaelic tattoo which turned out to have a very different meaning to what he thought.

The unfortunate inking shows a Celtic cross with the words “An bhfuil cead agam dul go dti an leithreas,” The Sun reported.

The tattoo owner thought the phrase meant “You will forever be in my heart”.

But a Redditor spotted a photo of the failed inking and explained it actually means “may I go to the toilet”.

He shared a photo of the mistake on social media with the caption: “Really awful everything. Firstly it’s a s*** tattoo and secondly the text literally means ‘may I go to the toilet’.

“It’s what kids would ask their teacher in Irish schools.”

The post left users amused with the toilet blunder with one of them saying: “I speak about 12 words of Irish, and even I know what that means. Can’t be real. (please be real).”

Another one added: “Imagine getting words tattooed without googling the hell out of them. And maybe y’know, a dictionary?”

One joked: “Who doesn’t have an unspoken bond with their throne room? in a chaotic world we all need a place for respite, and the quite, dignified contemplation of the day’s events.”
