A group of linguists in Colombia want to help people fix their misspelled tattoos

Got that great tattoo that declares to the world "NO REGERTS" or "TO YOUNG TO DIE" but later realized there was something not quite right? A Colombian languages institute has your back. The Instituto Caro y Cuervo in Bogotá is offering free tattoo corrections for bad spelling and grammar after seeing one too many inked mistakes, the Guardian reports.

“We’ve seen a lot of people with really bad mistakes in their tattoos,” Maria Paula Alzate, a staff member of the institute, told the Guardian. “For some people it turns out to be the worst mistake of their lives because you have to live with it every day.”
