While it’s not everyone’s style, getting a tattoo for your child is surely one of the most (permanent) markers you can get to shout the world that you love your offspring. And Orlando Bloom is one of the latest celebrities to get a tattoo to honor their child. The actor revealed the ink on Instagram earlier this week, which is a tribute to his nine-year-old son Flynn in morse code.
One slight problem, though - it’s spelled wrong. ‘New #tattoo can you guess who?’ Orlando wrote in the Instagram caption. But fans were quick to spot that it wasn’t one hundred per cent accurate. The tattoo skips a dot to improperly spell out F-R-Y-N-N, which also includes the date and time of Flynn’s birth: Jan. 6, 2011, at 9:03 a.m.
Hungarian artist Balazs Bercsenyi, pictured in the photo with Bloom, created the tattoo for the star. However, panic over - as the tattoo artist promised that he would fix the inking. Sharing the tattoo on Instagram, he wrote, ‘A beautiful reminder for @orlandobloom of his son. And yes, a dot is missing, we know, it will be fixed :)’
Orlando obviously isn’t the only celeb to go back into the tattoo parlour to correct a mistake. Ariana Grande made a similar error last year, when she got an inking in honour of her single 7 Rings. The tattoo, which was on her palm, was meant to spell out in Japanese the title of her new single. The final result, however, actually translated to a Japanese-style BBQ grill, which she went to get fixed.
