Man mocked after getting Gaelic tattoo with very different meaning in hilarious toilet blunder

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 tat's 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.”

Meanwhile, a woman shared how she was left so embarrassed after a tattoo artist misspelt the tribute to her favourite artist.

Another ink lover said he loved his lightning bolt tat until everyone thought it was a white supremacist SS symbol.

A woman who wanted a tattoo of a sleeping cat was left with a disastrous inking that resembled more of a dead rat.
