'I’ll never get another tattoo after spending over €1,000 removing wife’s name'

People are sharing some of their biggest mistakes in life with Dublin Live, including a man’s hilarious decision to get his wife’s name tattooed on his arm.

The man originally got a rose design etched on his arm to honour his wife, but realised as he got older that the decision had quite literally scarred him for life. He told Dublin Live: “I got a tattoo and it was the worst thing I’ve ever done. It cost me £1,000 (€1,140) to have it removed. It had my wife’s name under it. I’ll never get another tattoo, not at my age anyway.”

The majority of people had humorous anecdotes to share, although some were more heartfelt than others. One woman expressed regret at not finishing her education first time around when she was young. The woman, who left school prior to completing her Junior Cert, said it made life more challenging in the long term.
