Tattoo spells out Coca-Cola
A man who has proudly showed off his tattoo for 26 years was baffled to realise it actually spelt Coca-Cola.
Vince Mattingley had his named tattooed on his chest in Chinese writing after asking staff at his favourite restaurant to write his name in Chinese symbols.
But a waiter drew the Coke words - and Vince had it etched on his chest.
Vince only realised the mistake when he recently travelled to Thailand and a barman asked him why he had Coca-Cola written on his chest, reports The Sun.
Vince, of Watford, said: "I thought it was a joke then I found out that's what it said. The restaurant staff must have had a good laugh about it."
He now plans to get another Oriental tattoo to cover up the name. He added: "I'm going to go with something Japanese this time."

1. ALWAYS TIP THE WAITER, GENEROUSLY!
2. Never ask a stranger anything regarding a tattoo.
3. Stick with the Mater Lingua.
4. You'd think that traveling around you would see a freaking Coke ad and say, "THAT LOOKS LIKE MY TATTOO!"
5. Do you wait for the lawyers from Coke to contact you about a copyright infringement?
6. Actually it makes ordering easy, when you go to Thailand! Point at your chest and smile!
7. For 26 years you have been telling people that your tattoo says, Vince Mattingly....I guess Coca Cola beats "I am foolish enough not to check up on what my tattoo actually means before I put it on my skin."
8. His next tattoo? "42. Salmon Sushi Roll" ???
9. It could have been worse? Diet Coca Cola with No Caffeine?
