A woman who had a tattoo done to remember her first post-coronavirus holiday was shocked when a simple error turned her dream inking into complete nonsense.
Bri Pritchett, 24, took a trip to Sedona, Arizona, with her boyfriend and friend in celebration of being fully vaccinated against coronavirus.
To mark the occasion, Bri decided to get a fun tattoo with the coordinates of Sedona tattooed on her shoulder.
She handed the artist the numbers but unfortunately made an irreversible blunder that completely changed what the tattoo actually means.
Bri said the coordinates she wanted were 34 52' 12" N 111 45' 36" W, but she accidentally wrote the S and the N the wrong way around.
She said: "I was SO close! The 'S' on the top one should've been an N! It's an easy fix if I want to go that route, but I might just keep it because it's just as funny this way.
"I'd been wanting to get a tattoo for a while, and I remembered seeing this rude shaped rock whilst 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 to me in other ways as well.
"I dropped a pin in Google Maps, did a quick – and clearly inaccurate – conversion to format the coordinates the way I wanted them, and the rest is history!"

Bri went on to say she didn’t realise her mistake until an entire week later when she was learning about regions of hops.
She said: "It wasn't until a week later when I was learning about the growing regions of hops and I saw a diagram showing where latitudes are on a map that I realised I got it wrong!
"It was a painful realisation!"

The 24-year-old admits she had a "25oz seltzer before I got the tattoo" and may have been a little drunk.
She said: "I may or may not have had a 25oz seltzer before I got the tattoo, so my biggest advice would be don't get a tattoo whilst you're drunk!
"I'd also advise having your most meticulous friend check it for you first!"
