This has to be the most unfortunate Irish language tattoo ever

Scrawled across an image of a large cross with a celtic design, the tattoo reads: ‘An bhfuil cead agam dul go dti an leithreas’. The image features the caption: “My new unfinished piece of back art, it says in gaelic ‘you will forever be in my heart.’”

The Irish phrase translates as, ‘Can I go to the toilet’ and is familiar to many people from their school days. The picture has sparked an online debate as to whether the image is authentic or a hoax.
