Woman gets 'romantic' tattoo for boyfriend while on holiday - but used wrong photo

A love-struck teen has been left in stitches after she meant to get a "romantic" tattoo for her boyfriend but ended up with a tribute to "someone else".

Millie Blake, 19, went ahead with her well-meaning gesture while on a holiday with her friends.

But she didn't realise anything was wrong until she returned home and showed her boyfriend - and he pointed out her mistake.

The young woman and a pal had been heading out for drinks while they were on holiday at popular Bulgarian hotspot Sunny Beach when the pair spontaneously decided to get some new but '"meaningful" tattoos.

Millie opted for three small star signs just above her right ankle - a Libra to represent her mother, Taurus for her dad and Pisces for 20-year-old partner Reece Smith.

But she ended up with an Aries zodiac sign, as she discovered when she unveiled her new body art to her boyfriend of almost three years.

She said her Reece laughed when they realised she had "someone else's star sign" permanently tattooed on her leg.

Luckily, the teen also came round to see the funny side of things.

Millie, from Bradford, West Yorkshire, said: "It's funny now. When I tell people they just laugh. I told my parents and they were laughing and work were like 'I can't believe you've done that, that's typical' and everything.

"I thought it would be quite romantic and meaningful."

As to how she made the unbelievable blunder, she is not sure, but she did admit she may have accidentally clicked on the wrong Google image when showing the tattooist.

Millie said: "I don't have a clue how I ended up getting it wrong.

"Thing is, I Googled it and was like '15th March', put it in and that's what came up.

"I don't know if I clicked on the wrong thing or looked at the wrong one because there's that many and there's that many different ones that say different things."

Now, she is trying to decide what to do with the tattoo, which cost her £26.

"I was thinking of getting it covered up but I haven't seen owt I like to cover it up but I kind of like it, but then again I can't really keep it because it [wrong sign] don't mean owt to me," Millie said.
