A student was left mortified about she got a tattoo of her favourite song lyrics - but then realised she'd got the words wrong. TikTok user Sophie Croft decided she wanted her very first tattoo to be from the Abba song Slipping Through My Fingers.

Sophie uploaded the clip with the caption: "Got the wrong word tatted on me. Never getting another tattoo in my life," the Daily Star reported. TikTok users took to the comments section under the video to lend their support to the embarrassed student.

Another TikTok user commented on their own tattoo mishap. "I did the same with a quote from Harry Potter! I forgot "even" in the quote: 'Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only..."
