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."
