Mark had always wanted a tattoo, but he suffered from a tragic condition known as “Font Commitment Issues.” He could choose a life partner, a house, even a favorite coffee shop—but pick a font? Impossible.

One night, after three hours of staring at his arm in the bathroom mirror and whispering, “Maybe Comic Sans isn’t that bad,” his best friend Jenna staged an intervention. She shoved her laptop at him and said, “Use a free tattoo font generator before you make a decision you’ll regret more than your 2012 haircut.”

Mark typed in the word he wanted: “Courage.”
The generator spit out options—gothic lettering, cursive scripts, something that looked like it had been written by a caffeinated squirrel. Mark tried to stay focused, but by the fifteenth font, he was hysterically laughing at one that made “Courage” look like “Cottage.”

Jenna wiped tears from her eyes. “Are you getting a motivational tattoo… or a sign for a dairy farm?”

Finally, Mark found the perfect font—clean, bold, and impossible to misread. He triumphantly marched into a tattoo studio the next morning.

The artist leaned in, inspected the font, nodded, and said,
“Good choice. People usually come in with screenshots of memes.”

Mark beamed with pride… until he realized something horrifying.

He had spelled “Courage” wrong.

Now permanently marked with “Couarge,” Mark simply shrugs whenever someone points it out.

“It’s French,” he says. “For ‘don’t trust yourself with tattoos.’”
