Man Gets Tattoo To Surprise Wife, Realizes He Got Their Wedding Date Wrong

Mistakes happen, but a man who wanted to surprise his wife wished he realized his mistake before it was etched right onto his skin. The man’s wife, Ashley Carlevato, took to TikTok and revealed how the big anniversary surprise turned into a major fail that left her husband pink-faced with embarrassment.

Carlevato revealed in her post that she and her husband were celebrating their very first wedding anniversary this year. Ahead of the anniversary, they both decided to do something special for each other and agreed to get tattoos done as gifts, according to News18.

“For our first wedding anniversary we decided to get tattoos,” Carlevato said in her video.

As part of her tribute to her husband, Carlevato said she decided to tattoo the first letter of her husband’s name. So she decided to get an “A” on her ring finger. On the other hand, her husband decided to get their wedding date tattooed on his arm. But it was only after the tattoo was complete that he realized it was the wrong date, according to 9Honey.

“He was supposed to get our wedding date in Roman numerals on his arm,” Carlevato said. “We got married on Jan 1, 2019 (1.1.19), But instead he got 11,919.”

"I knew I should have googled it for him!" she added in the video’s caption.

Upon seeing Carlevato’s video, many social media users also shared how they, too, want dates inked onto their skin but are afraid of the same mistake happening to them.

"I want to tattoo ours in Roman numerals but I'm TERRIFIED of this happening," wrote one TikTok user while another said, “I got my daughter's birth date in Roman numerals and I checked a million times before to make sure it was correct.”

Another user could relate to Carlevato’s plight and said the very same thing happened when their husband got a tattoo.

“My husband was supposed to get our wedding date tattooed (2.23.19), turned out he actually got 2.33.19,” the user said.

One commenter went as far as condemning the very idea of couples getting matching tattoos in the first place. “Don't ever get matching tattoos with your [significant other]," the user wrote. “It [jinxes] the relationship. I know too many who have matching and are either no longer together or they argue and fight all the time.”
