Ha Ha..Oh dear Oh Dear......Looking on the bright side, they probably won't notice unless some kind person points it out.
Stop this at once Antster !!! It's usually Vinny (not Joe) who has me spray painting the vdu & keyboard with my morning coffee. I just won't be able to cope with two of you inducing temporary urinary incontinence first thing in the day.

That one's a triple whammy!
<edit> My bad, the revised spelling of "petal" is correct, it's just that the "a" looks like a wonky "e".

Should be "You're". There's room for an "e" and an apostrophe, it's a pity they didn't fill that in while they were sorting out "pettle". I thought three initially because of the poorly-executed "a" in "petal". Now that I think about it though, the "You're" should have a capital "Y" so I'm back up to three on that one, four if you count the missing full stop.
I would never assume that a tattoo artist knows how to spell, and anything with lettering I would write down.

Artistic license would be a different matter, that's just shit English. I hadn't noticed the upper case P in petal. If that was mine I'd either get it covered up, or get the corrections tattooed in red ink.

Dennis Leary once pointed out one of the pitfalls of getting tattoos done. After describing the thought process from the point of view of the target, (bad designs, permanence etc) he said "AND, I'm going to get a fat hairy smelly stupid guy to do it too". That about sums it up I think.
