We’re all aware of the perils of impulsive inking. Deepika’s infamous RK tattoo did have to be corrected after all. Yet one would think, you would be doubly cautious during a correction. It appears Ariana Grande and her Japanese tutor weren’t, which lead to some hilarious consequences.
The singer’s palm tattoo was supposed to read “7 Rings” in Japanese Kanji. But Ari accidentally inked “BBQ grill” on her palm. The fun did not end there for this was followed by a failed tattoo correction attempt!
It all began with her initial palm inking-

The mixup is iconic, but Ariana spent last night making the tattoo kinda-sorta-work with the help of her “tutor.” See for yourself!
While her tutor may have unintentionally misguided her a tad, the singer went on to share her plans for the new design!
Later in the night, Ariana revealed the new and improved tattoo. Cosmopolitan reports that she even had to take a shot of lidocaine from her doctor to endure the pain! However, the tattoo correction attempt turned out to be yet another epic fail.
Even though she had her “tutor” to guide her, she put the Japanese character for finger below the first version of the tattoo. Since Japanese is read from top to bottom and right to left, this tends to completely change the meaning of her tattoo.
Her corrected tattoo now reads.. Any guesses?
Wait for it!
“JAPANESE BARBECUE FINGER”
Twitterati were quite amused by the glitchy fix. Check out some of their reactions!
