Woman makes bid to clear tattoo artist’s name after getting misspelt tattoo

The client was left laughing hysterically after spotting the spelling mistake

A Florida woman who ended up with a phrase permanently misspelt on her hand is trying to clear the tattoo artist's name after the unfortunate blunder.

Jordan LaMattina, from Titusville, Florida, enlisted the expertise of a tattoo artist named Jaco to ink her choice of design when she visited his tattoo shop, DaVinci Tattoo, last month.

Jaco made a stencil and got to work following the letters - only when he pulled the tattoo gun away, LaMattina realized the phrase wasn't quite the one she'd been hoping for.

She came up with the idea for the idea for the tattoo with her friend Mandy, who lives in a different state.

LaMattina and Mandy both wanted to get the words 'Everything's Fine' tattooed as part of an in-joke about how everything in their lives is often not fine.

However, when the tattoo was complete, it actually read: "Everthing's fine."

The tattoo had been designed by LaMattina's friend.

A TikTok video of the moment the two women saw the tattoo captured Mandy laughing hysterically, while Jaco looked on with horror.

Mandy insisted in the video that the spelling error was 'not [Jaco's] fault', but after it went viral many internet users began to blame him and make jokes about how the mistake would haunt him for years to come.

LaMattina is now desperate to clear Jaco's name and insist that no, it really wasn't his fault.

She shared a follow-up video offering more context on the incident, explaining that Mandy doodled the design while they were speaking on FaceTime one day, and neither of them spotted it before it was made permanent.

Jaco was left horrified when he realized the mistake.

LaMattina explained that Mandy is dyslexic, adding: "I didn't notice because I have ADHD; she didn't notice it because she's dyslexic."

When the women realized their mistake, LaMattina said Jaco's face was 'mostly white because he couldn't tell if [she] was sobbing'.

LaMattina went on to tell Insider that she's actually very happy with how the tattoo turned out, and after she shared the video it's become a joke in the ADHD/dyslexia community on TikTok.

"The guilt of knowing that [Jaco] is now receiving backlash for something that wasn't his fault really deeply hurts me," LaMattina told Insider.

"He's a dad with wildlife and kids to feed, and the only thing he deserves is praise for making my tattoo a happy memory."

Thankfully, however, Jaco said any criticism has calmed down since LaMattina shared her explanation of what happened.

DaVinci Tattoo said 'all is well' and that the spelling mistake 'made the irony of the joke better'.

"Misspelling has happened to plenty of artists in their career — nobody wants to be in that position," Jaco said. "I knew in that moment it was going to be huge, and honestly expected far more backlash."

It seems like it's all well that ends well; as LaMattina would say, everthing's fine.
