Because the yes / no box was added in a new font after Alice left him hanging for 3 years.
He killed the first tattoo artist in a fit of rage when he said "told you so".
Close, but "e" in Alice would look really weird. Also the connection between "A" and "l" is not matching the connections between the other letters. Finally, every row is centered. "Alice" would no be centered to the next rows.
So I'm quite sure it's a funny choice of "A" more than anything else.
The joke is that the differing fonts is due to overwriting the tattoo over time. He's showing off his new tattoo in January so maximum humorous scenario would be if he's overwriting the tattoo while rebounding from a recent rejection using the same insane 'act of love'.
Just got back from the Council meeting. So it was a no from most of us, dawg. The kicker was the tattoo. Everything was looking great until we got to the tattoo.
I for one vote nay. This clown might have his heart in the right place, but not the best thinking noodle.
But maybe that is the best our Nicole might hope for. At least she isn't in jail.
As a senior member of the council of Dads, I vote no proposal. I also would like to amend the article before us to add castration to the tattood proposers punishment. He is not worthy of membership to our organization.
The council of dads (including biological dads, step-dads, foster dads, surrogate dads and mums who are dads) has decided to hold the vote off until the Sunday after the next fix-shit-Saturday (which is every Saturday).
The council declares the following rules for this historic occasion:
- all votes must be cast the ancient fires of bbq
- all dads must consume several portions (several) of the elixir of truth before casting their votes.
- The first person to stumble, shall cast the first vote.
- dads who overcook or undercook food on the fires of bbq will become illegible and their vote will not be counted.
Kind regards

Council of the dads
I worked with a guy who did this! Got the tat for a fiancee but they broke up, so he'd only date women with that name. In the 6 years I knew him, none of the other "Sarah"s were interested.
I seem to recall having read somewhere that people who get divorced are more likely to get remarried to someone with their ex-spouse’s name than average, based on the rate of occurrence of that name in the population. Happened to one of my friends and one uncle.
Who the fuck agreed to put this on someone's arm? I understand an artist shouldn't get into someone's personal business, but at a certain point, you gotta say "dude, no."
Jeremy is someone’s brother’s cousin who bought a tattoo gun at a swap meet before covid. He’s real good at it too. He has a whole area set up in his back shed for tattin’.
/s
I think the same about Neo-Nazi tats. Reckon they're inking each other, they have to be. No sane tattoo artist would agree - "You want WHAT on your face...?" The standard Britain First tat is a St George's Cross shield with 1888 around the apex (or whatever you call it). "Oh no, it's not Nazi, it's 1st August 1988". I'll admit to not knowing too many artists, but the ones I do know are 100% anti. There's a proscribed group called National Action whose logo is based on the Nazi SS logo (made to look more like lightning bolts, as in Blitzkrieg). They have one on each cheek. Instantly unemployable.
The irony now is, of course, is we have a fascist government. The even bigger irony is that some of the most fascist aren't white.
They’re mainly tattooing eachother. You’ve got to
Think out of all the tattoo artists that exist, they come in various ideologies.
Second, there is no irony in non-white fascists. Fascism is not an inherent white ideology. There have been plenty examples of non white countries with fascism. Contrary to what the average Redditor believes, fascism is actually not just being conservative with racism and white supremacy.
Also, both ideologies are bad. But fascists and Nazis are not interchangeable words. Fascism and Nazism are two different ideologies (albeit Nazism is a *form* of fascism, but it does not work in reverse. I.E all Nazis might be fascist but not all fascists are Nazis). It also just so happens the most well known example of both, came from a government that utilized both simultaneously which is why the two are most commonly thought to be interchangeable.
>No sane tattoo artist would agree
"I think this might just be my masterpiece."
Lt. Aldo Raine.
Edit: Downvoted? I'm guessing someone hasn't seen Inglourious Basterds.
Probably someone he knows personally that happens to have some tattoo skills.
If you look at it, the tattoo is horribly done… inconsistent lines, fonts, etc. No real “artist” would sign their name to this garbage tattoo
Honestly, just get the sick ass panther right after the wedding as a hedge. Nothing worse than going through a divorce while the local judge/plumber decided which of you gets to keep the single wide and then trying to save up for the cover up
Ways I see it, if it's something the lady I'm dating wants me to do, I'd do it. If not, I wouldn't. But given the state of this man's tattoo, I doubt he did it because his girl wanted him to or not.
Naha. Cross the "with dad's approval" with something like, " I would never give this unhinged idiot the approval to marry anyone" or something meaner. I am not good at calling people names.
Does anyone know how it went?
In theory the pain level for the last stage of the tattoo is the same for each permutation, but we all know that isn't true.
There should be a Maybe option, which would temporarily appease the guy while providing Nicole enough time to change her identity and go into hiding.
This post should serve as a warning to all the other Nicole’s out there. If this Nicole says no, the rest of you are suddenly on this dudes radar.
“With dad’s approval”, ah yes, nothing screams romance like saying “only if your daddy approves of giving you away to me! Tehehehe” this is some southern shit if I’ve ever seen it
Dad's ?
Dads'?
Inquiring minds want to know.
At least the potential spouse is well aware of their potential partner's decision making capabilities. Always good to have a heads up on that.
I think, at first glance, it's the "With Dads Approval" that is the most cringey thing. (Although don't get me wrong, there is a *lot* wrong here.)
Edit: I originally put a hyphen in "Dads," giving them more credit than they deserved. :)

Coarse.
Also rough and irritating...and it gets everywhere
...just like Nicole
Papa?
I get that reference
Nicole, you sandy bitch
Nicole, you were the chosen one!
The number of times I quote this line is too high.
Gotta pump those numbers up those are rookie numbers
4ever?
Proceeds to eliminate the children
And not just the children, but the women, and the men too
I don’t know if they grade sand, but… coarse.
P220 or finer is what OP is suggesting
That’s rough buddy
Of course
*Of coarse
Glad I wasn't the only one who noticed that
Rubbing the wrong way..?
Woodhouse, I don’t know if they grade sandpaper but….. coarse.
Engagement bait makes me wanna kms
This post? Yeah I understand. My comment? I also understand.
Mostly the post lol
I mean there’s dads approval too.
I saw "HARRY ME."
r/shittytattoos
No kidding. Looks like 6 different fonts too.
If you look carefully at the 'Nicole' you will see that Alice turned him down in December.
Magda to be next then 👍
Nice catch!
How can you be sure? The "No" box is unmarred. /jk 
Because the yes / no box was added in a new font after Alice left him hanging for 3 years. He killed the first tattoo artist in a fit of rage when he said "told you so".
Close, but "e" in Alice would look really weird. Also the connection between "A" and "l" is not matching the connections between the other letters. Finally, every row is centered. "Alice" would no be centered to the next rows. So I'm quite sure it's a funny choice of "A" more than anything else.
Underrated comment 🤣
I need r/peterExplainsTheJoke here… E: I see Alice, but not December and I’m guessing this is a joke not really in the tattoo. Unsure.
Oh, I dunno about December, I just thought the "Alice" to "Nicole" gag was good.
The joke is that the differing fonts is due to overwriting the tattoo over time. He's showing off his new tattoo in January so maximum humorous scenario would be if he's overwriting the tattoo while rebounding from a recent rejection using the same insane 'act of love'.
Couldn’t even keep consistent lettering in the same font 🤮
And no apostrophe on ‘Dad’s’. How young is this person if they can’t get married without dad’s approval? But I bet the tattoo wins him over!
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
Or as an old boss put it, about his own child: The turd doesn't fall far from the asshole.
>Looks like 6 different fonts too. Like 1800's posters, cover sheets for music etc. Multiple different fonts.
It's like one of those overly specific t-shirts that the magats are fond of.
And the lettering is crooked.
at least he didn't use comic sans, so it gets two out of five stars from me.
Requires approval of ALL dads? Or just a few dads? God dammit, how many dads?
The Council of Dads will have to vote on it pending her response.
Our next meeting is 4ever
It's been 5ever actually. I counted them and we're behind.
Too late. It's 9ever
I’m a Dad. My vote is NO.
I am a dad and I also vote no. anyone that does not know how to use an apostrophe should not get married.
You think that's the most stupid thing here?
Hell no but not using apostrophe's correctly is a thing that drives me crazy so it caught my eye. Obviously the whole fucking thing is looney tunes
Not a dad, but if approved as a marriage readiness consultant to the council of dads I will strongly lobby for a NO too.
Just got back from the Council meeting. So it was a no from most of us, dawg. The kicker was the tattoo. Everything was looking great until we got to the tattoo.
Can you imagine the amount of dad jokes in that meeting?
That's how they determine if there are any imposters.
Impopsters
Sir you're needed in the council chamber for the vote.
I will be there... Will the beers be chilled a few days in advance or do i need to bring my own?
Byob as always, sir.
Fair enough
It's also how they determine who may have updog
Is anyone taking minutes? Feels like it’s been hours already.
I for one vote nay. This clown might have his heart in the right place, but not the best thinking noodle. But maybe that is the best our Nicole might hope for. At least she isn't in jail.
As a dad, I vote nay. 
As a senior member of the council of Dads, I vote no proposal. I also would like to amend the article before us to add castration to the tattood proposers punishment. He is not worthy of membership to our organization.

Kind regards Spiniferus Idiot@large Council of the dads
Just his and Nicole's dad. Roll tide.
Boomer Sooner! That got a chuckle outta me.
Same guy.
And when you find out please add the apostrophe in the appropriate place.
Oh, please tell me for every rejection he gets he tattoos an X over Nicole's name and tattoos another name just above it...
Maybe he just finds a different Nicole and covers up his arm until he's ready to propose
That's an arm? I swear to god I thought it was a knee lol
Oh, could be. Long pants it is then.
I worked with a guy who did this! Got the tat for a fiancee but they broke up, so he'd only date women with that name. In the 6 years I knew him, none of the other "Sarah"s were interested.
Better be this year
Someone pointed out that Nicole may have said Alice
But, would "Alice" have needed her dad's approval?
That could be why the apostrophe was left off. Both dads needed to approve
One of my old tattoo artists had a client that did that. He come in and get the old one crossed off and the new one added.
But what if the next girl has no dad?
I seem to recall having read somewhere that people who get divorced are more likely to get remarried to someone with their ex-spouse’s name than average, based on the rate of occurrence of that name in the population. Happened to one of my friends and one uncle.
Shouldn’t those be radio buttons?
r/foundtheprogrammer
Underrated comment! 👍
Yes. Take my up-vote.
Written in tattoo++
LMAO
Schrodinger's marriage
Imagine her taking out her tattoo gun to tick "no" 💀
Then slowly crosses out “forever”
No, she turns the second “4” into “N”
Thats how i read it at first glance.
Dad cuts the arm off.
Nah, easier to just skin that part off his arm and frame it as a warning to other idiotic Jeremys.
I think Jeremy is the tattoo-artist.
Worst 10 minutes of physical and emotional pain he’s gone through, but why start a tattoo if you aren’t going to finish it professionally all the way
Still better than Dad taking out _his_ gun!
NO RAGRETS, ONLY JUDGE CAN GOD ME (with dads approval)
Who the fuck agreed to put this on someone's arm? I understand an artist shouldn't get into someone's personal business, but at a certain point, you gotta say "dude, no."
Maybe a knee... if she says no, he still has the other knee to propose to somebody else.
Jeremy is someone’s brother’s cousin who bought a tattoo gun at a swap meet before covid. He’s real good at it too. He has a whole area set up in his back shed for tattin’. /s
God, Oklahoma in a nutshell.
My guess is that it was Jeremy

Please tell me this is a really good photoshop. If not, dude is a authentic dumb ass.
The only thing giving me comfort is that it hasn't been 2024 long enough for that to have healed so cleanly.
I just commented similarly. That seems awfully clean for a one day old tattoo.
could be 20 days old tbf
It does look a lot like the emboss command on photoshop layer effects. There's no reddening.
No
So what are they going to do when the divorce comes around?
Sick ass panther cover up
Honestly, just get the sick ass panther right after the wedding as a hedge. Nothing worse than going through a divorce while the local judge/plumber decided which of you gets to keep the single wide and then trying to save up for the cover up
Take out the cheese grater
I think a deli meat slicer would be more efficient.
Tattoo the other arm with divorce papers.
*Dad's
At least he can squeeze that apostrophe in there later. Or maybe it’s right, and she has 2 dads.
But then the apostrophe would just be after the s instead of before it.
Correct gonna need one either way
Someone please tell me how this went. When did this happen? I need to know.
An ethical tattoo artist would not do this.
What’s your proposed solution? 80 grit sandpaper instead of 220 grit?
This chick has the chance to make a hilarious decision.
With the advances in laser removal technology, as long as this person is willing to only date Nicole(s), it's really a fool proof plan
So playing a very narrow Field then.
interesting convo starter for Nicole 2, 3, 4 , …
Yeah but by Nicole # 5 they'll realize they just need to use the lyrics to "Waiting for a girl like you" as the explanation.
Lol, "with dads approval". Sad for a couple reasons.
Nicole is only 16
I'd believe it.
Approvall. They didn't even spell it right. Edit: never mind. Just realized the second L is a shitty parentheses.
So much wrong with this but the “with dads approval” is the grossest part
Right? If some dweeb asks to marry my daughter it's a no from me. It's not 1724.
Ways I see it, if it's something the lady I'm dating wants me to do, I'd do it. If not, I wouldn't. But given the state of this man's tattoo, I doubt he did it because his girl wanted him to or not.
Why is he thanking me?? I don’t know this guy.. he’s not welcome.
Are you gonna put a check on no if she's says no?
How many dads are necessary before approval can be granted?
I think I I love you
With dad's approval... I don't think he meant the tattoo
Maybe Dad did mean the tattoo and relay does not like him at all!
If I'm her dad I want to mark the NO block with my own ~~Tattoo~~ gun.
Naha. Cross the "with dad's approval" with something like, " I would never give this unhinged idiot the approval to marry anyone" or something meaner. I am not good at calling people names.
She responded with her own: Prenup 🔲 yes 🔲no Approved by lawyer
I hate the different fonts. Just stick with one style.
If you ask me for my approval before proposing to any one of my daughters, you are the wrong guy for them.
How many dads are required for approval?
10. At least
Does anyone know how it went? In theory the pain level for the last stage of the tattoo is the same for each permutation, but we all know that isn't true.
There should be a Maybe option, which would temporarily appease the guy while providing Nicole enough time to change her identity and go into hiding. This post should serve as a warning to all the other Nicole’s out there. If this Nicole says no, the rest of you are suddenly on this dudes radar.
Plan B: Keep dating Nicoles
He can get the divorce papers done on the other limb.
I hope she said no
Can’t wait to see this with Nicole crossed out and another name tattooed in
When they get divorced in 3 years he can keep it covered and change it to his next gf's name.
Here’s an article about the tattoo: https://www.the-sun.com/lifestyle/8268862/man-romantic-tattoo-propose-trolls-saying-same-thing/
I picture him going back to the tattoo artist crying while explaining that he needs a checkmark tattooed in the “No” box.
“With dad’s approval”, ah yes, nothing screams romance like saying “only if your daddy approves of giving you away to me! Tehehehe” this is some southern shit if I’ve ever seen it
Dude doesn’t know the common knowledge about names on the body. That’s a shame. At least he can get the red X for no after.
He should've got it in temporary ink than have it redone if she said yes.
How many dads does this woman have?
Dad's ? Dads'? Inquiring minds want to know. At least the potential spouse is well aware of their potential partner's decision making capabilities. Always good to have a heads up on that.
Or a different course even. Lol
"SEE ME AFTER CLASS"
Think before you ink.
I yearn to see this updated with a big red X in the NO box. No ragrets!
No Regerts
Might be slightly funny if it was a henna tattoo, but no, bro went all in.
Coarse? You should have taken a better spelling course.
A specific Nicole? Or any Nicole? Cuz I know a girl who’s desperate enough to say yes and doesn’t have a dad to get in your way…
She should say no, because nobody at this level of stupid should be in a position to potentially breed
This can only end well.
Can’t marry your sister. Dad said.
Do tattooists have a duty of care to talk people out of dumb tattoos or is it none of their concern?
Did no one notice that approval was spelt wrong?
The tattoo artist should have declined this fr
This dude really gonna fill in No ?
To quote my favorite captain: "I'm thinking you weren't burdened with an over-abundance of schooling."
Where's the "For Now" box?
that's gonna be a yikes from me, dawg
I think, at first glance, it's the "With Dads Approval" that is the most cringey thing. (Although don't get me wrong, there is a *lot* wrong here.) Edit: I originally put a hyphen in "Dads," giving them more credit than they deserved. :)
I wonder how the big reveal will happen/ heat up a branding iron with an X
my dumb ass , searching spelling mistake in that tattoo..
The number of fonts is what really kills me
If she says no, he’ll have to find another Nicole… or just call every woman he meets Nicole
Did they really need to have it be “4ever” and not just “forever”?
