According to this news article,
an unfortunate man went into surgery with a tattoo that read “I LOVE
WOMEN”. Unfortunately, the tattoo was right over where the surgeons
made an incision — after surgery, the tattoo read “I LOVE MEN”.
It sounds more like an urban legend than actual fact. In fact, it reminds me of the old joke about the guy who had the name “Wendy” tattooed on his penis.
(Don’t even think about it, Redhead.)
