Woman’s coordinates tattoo of fave place pinpoints random spot in the ocean 3,000 miles away
A WOMAN got a tattoo as a reminder of her favourite place but got the coordinates wrong and pinpointed a random spot in the Pacific Ocean.
Bri Pritchett, 24, wanted to commemorate a holiday with her boyfriend to Sedona in Arizona, US.
She said: “I’d been wanting to get a tattoo for a while, and I remembered seeing this rude shaped rock while on our holiday to Sedona and thinking it was the funniest thing in the world.
“The area was also the first place that I ever fell in love with the desert, so it was very special.
“I dropped a pin in Google Maps, did a quick — and clearly inaccurate — conversion to format the coordinates the way I wanted.”
Bri handed the coordinates to the artist, but unfortunately wrote “South” instead of “North”, so they read 34° 52’ 12” S 111° 45’ 36” W.
The simple mistake means her tattoo leads to a random spot nearly 3,000 miles away.

Sensory analyst Bri said she posted a snap of her inking on social media — only for her sister to spot her error.
Bri, of St Louis, Missouri, said: “I couldn’t believe it at first but I do find it hilarious now. I was so close! It’s an easy fix, but I might just keep it because it’s just funny.”
She added of getting a tattoo: “I would advise having your most meticulous friend to check it first!”
