He was supposed to ink “believe” but instead wrote “belleve”.
An unlicensed tattoo artist has been given an eight-month suspended prison sentence after illegally inking a 13-year-old girl.
Jackson Rowsell, from Portsmouth, tattooed the young girl, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, in his bedroom and charged her £20 for the inking.
The BBC reported the 19-year-old used Jack Daniel’s whiskey as a cleanser before creating the “amateurish” design.

Portsmouth city council said the girl agreed to go to Rowsell's house for the inking after seeing a post on Facebook. She had originally told her mother she would wait till she was older to get a tattoo.
According to the BBC, she told council staff Rowsell's work looked "awful".
The paper quoted the girl as saying: ''I'm very upset about what has happened, partly because the tattoo is awful but mainly because of the worry it has caused all my family. I am really scared that I may have caught something from a dirty needle.''
She told the Portsmouth News she now wears her hair down all the time to cover up the tattoo.
Rowsell admitted causing actual bodily harm, tattooing a child, and tattooing on unlicensed premises.
At Portsmouth crown court he was handed an eight-month suspended jail sentence and ordered to do 120 hours of community service and pay the girl £300.
