We have a tattoo of a Japanese character that means “Seize the Day”…we think. It was a last minute decision to go to the tattoo parlor one night in college and there was no such thing as Google back then so we’ve never verified it. We’ve lived with the belief that that’s what is written on our back, which is why we can empathize with Hayden Panettiere, who actually does have a misspelled tattoo on her back.
Panettiere was photographed a few months ago with a tattoo, written in Italian, on her back that says, “Vivere senza rimipianti,” meaning “live without regrets,” but there is a superfluous “i” added in. Panettiere explains, “Me and my misspelt tattoo! You know what? I can’t blame anyone but myself. I figured I wouldn’t get bored of it because I couldn’t see it, but because I didn’t see it, I didn’t notice the mistake until nine months later.”
She accepts full blame for the error saying, “I guess I wrote it down wrong. Oops. Luckily, it’s only an ‘i’ that’s wrong, so if I get the dot of the ‘i’ removed, it will be fine. Every tattoo is unique, so I put my own twist on this one.”
Hey, if Angelina Jolie can remove “Billy Bob” from her arm, an “i” should be a piece of cake. [Photo: GettyImages]
