Default Yead, so I'm also pissed right now

Funny thing about getting tattoos in foreign languages, a lot of times the artist doesn't know what he is tattooing.

Example is today, where I asked to 'similis machinae' on my back, which means 'similar to a machine'. The E on the end of the machinae is important because it puts it in the genative case, which is what is needed to agree with the verb.

Well, I get home, and take a quick picture of the tattoo to see how it looks. I don't have the flexibility to see the entire tattoo while I am at the shop, but I trust him as he did my other one in chinese. It looks great! Except it's missing one thing.....

Yea, that E on the end isn't there.

He better fix this ****. In the design I sent him it WAS correct, and somehow in the process of getting it done he dropped an E, which makes my tattoo the equivalent of **** right now.
