There’s a major problem with this Mario tattoo
Once a sign that a person had travelled the seven seas, tattoos are now very popular, very lucrative and very often embarrassingly wrong – such as when Ariana Grande accidentally got “barbecue grill” tattooed on her hand. The only writing on this tattoo of heroic plumber Mario – and are all plumbers not heroes on some level? – is the letter M on his cap, but that hasn’t stopped it going wrong.
Quite apart from any aesthetic judgement, or whether you want Mario to be doing every job your right hand might do, we can only wonder why this Mario has two right hands.
When the tattoo Instagram account @designerinktattoos asked
“Color on color with Today’s piece. What y’all think?”
the replies were brutally honest.
Naturally, the image found its way onto Twitter, where it got much the same reception.

Twitter user Captain Smugwash summed up the situation perfectly.
Two rights making a wrong right there.
