My Chemical Romance’s Frank Iero Tattoo Mistake

Posted by admin

So, I wanted to toss this out to some more folks regarding the comment made on our last recap post regarding the ink that Frank Iero got from Kat Von D. Here is the comment RJ made, which I have not been able to refute.

And on Kat’s grandfather portrait- there are 2 mistakes! The word “familia” is Spanish- he requested the wording to be in Italian, so it should be “famiglia”. Also, he requested the word “hero. In Italian, that’s “eroe’, not “idolo” which is “idol”. Bad work on both their parts!

This could be a major screwup. Not only did Kat obviously made dude wait for like 6 plus hours to get this work, but then did not fact check the script and may have left some laughable text on this guy for life. Any other thoughts or opinions on this?

    it was spanish…but at least itallian is extremely close to spanish.
    But I’m sure Franks forgiving.
    Love him and the rest of MCR!

    Personally I am into art and tattoos…when I go in I research my own tattoo first. Then go. 2nd of all if you are not sure what something says in another language or you are unsure how it is spelled, how do you know that the tattoo artist isn’t going to look it up and accidentally find something else meaning, “kiss my ass” when it should say “the kiss of an angel”? Same thing goes for all those people that are not of an asian background and have asian writing all over them…do you truly know what your ink means? DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE YOU ALLOW ANYONE TO PUT SOMETHING PERMANENT ON YOUR BODY PEOPLE.

    Seriously i hate it when ppl go on about “omg frankies sooo hot” >:P pfffft do you even appreciate what he’s done for the band and his fans?? Who cares what he looks like. I bet if he was “ugly” you wouldnt listen to his music. But anyways, seriously. Kat, you disappoint me. >:P

    i saw the show yesterday, i’m from italy and i can’t believe that!i laught for and hour, but i think for this poor guy, that has a wrong tattoo on his arms.
    i think if somebody will a kind of tattoo it must learn how it is.
    and kat von d is not serious, she came late at work (five hours!!) and made a wrong tattoo, but she had got the picture before frank was coming, so i think why she didn’t design the picture before? it’s not professional…
    i’m sorry for my english but i was so scandalous because i’m italian!!!
    :-(

    at least the words on his arm weren’t that bad. It could have been a lot worse

    First of all, I hate when fangirlies basically don’t read the article, just comment on the photos. “Omg so hawwwwt” gets so boring after its first syllable. If you only care about that, go and just look at the photos, don’t bother commenting on a serious article if your only thoughts about are about the “hawtness” of someone.
    Also, it’s Frank Iero as in i-e-r-o; not Lero. A common mistake, but a mistake nonetheless.
    Right, to the point at hand. I really feel for Frank. This is a tribute to his family which was basically cocked up. Don’t say, ‘It’s not Kat’s fault’ because it is, if only in part - A decent tattoo artist should research the tattoos which their clients ask them to create.
    Yes, he ought to have made sure himself. But the point is, Kat Von D is an experienced and well respected tattooist, who has, by being too busy or whatever the excuse is, ruined a man’s tattoo which is a tribute to his grandfather.
