If only everything in life had spell-check, right? Orlando Bloom has fixed his new tattoo, and the Carnival Row actor is having a little laugh at his own expense. ICYMI, Bloom debuted a brand-new ink tribute to his 9-year-old son Flynn last week: Morse code spelling out the boys name. Only, as the internet swiftly pointed out, it didnt actually spell Flynn. So, now Bloom has revised the design and become a cautionary tale about the perils of not triple-checking the accuracy of words we have branded onto our bodies.<\/p>\n
To recap, Bloom took to Instagram on Feb. 11 to show off a long line of dots and dashes inked onto his skin in honor of Flynn. But as eagle-eyed fans pointed out, the tattoo was missing a critical dot, making it spell Frynn instead. And while the mistake was undoubtedly a bit embarrassing, Bloom managed to take the whole thing in stride.<\/p>\n
On Wednesday, he revealed the newly edited version of his Morse code tattoo. Finally dot it right! he playfully captioned pics of the revision. How do you make a mistake like that? #pinterestfail (read the small print). Blooms tattooist in-demand artist Balazs Bercsenyi also shared photos of the revision, writing, Round 2 with @orlandobloom + we added the missing dot to the morse code, and did a small one in memory of Sidi, his dog + conclusion: never fully trust what your clients find on pinterest.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Well, that sounds like some pretty sage advice. So, if youre going to get inked anytime soon and pull your idea from Pinterest, just make sure you spell-check it, okay?<\/p>\n
Outside of the spelling error, though, Blooms tattoo was always a loving and thoughtful tribute to his little boy. The actor and ex-wife Miranda Kerr welcomed Flynn in January of 2011, and the father-son duo shares a famously close relationship. Now that Bloom is engaged to Katy Perry, shes developed quite a soft spot for Flynn, too.<\/p>\n
We do a lot with Flynn, Perry told Vogue India in January. We go to the movies or to amusement parks. Were constantly doing things that are fun. Of course, being a parent also means making certain concessions. We have to be out the door at 7:30 to be there at 8:15 and we cannot be like, she told Ellen DeGeneres last year of dropping Flynn off at school. I used to not wake up until, like, 11 a.m. and now Im in bed like a normal person at 10 p.m., just, like, falling asleep. I guess this has definitely matured me.<\/p>\n
And something tells us if the bond between Perry and her soon-to-be stepson ever inspires a tattoo, she and Bloom will hire an editor to give it a once-over beforehand.<\/p>\n
