A woman who got a new tattoo to celebrate her role in the Olympic torch relay was shocked to discover it had been spelt incorrectly.
Jerri Peterson, from Atlanta in the US, carried the torch through Derby on 30 June after being nominated by the hotel chain she worked for.
When she arrived back in the US, she decided to spend $10 (£6.50) on a tattoo to mark the occasion.
It was only hours later she spotted it featured the mis-spelling "Oylmpic".
Mrs Peterson was one of 70 international employees selected by her firm to take part in the relay as a thank you for her years of charity work.
She said: "I always wanted to have a tattoo but I never quite felt passionate about any one thing to have it put on my body permanently.

That one doesn't look like it would take a huge amount of work to laser out and redo. At the tattoo parlour's expense, of course.

Re: She'll have to bear it
A good tattoo artist could probably fix it WITHOUT laser removal.

The newer it is, the easier to fix.

$10 for a tattoo?!
Yikes! I wouldn't let anyone write on me who charged so little.

For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.
