Whose Fault Is It Anyway?
It is an extremely hard thing to choose who is to blame in a situation where you can see why both the individuals deserve to be blamed. For example, in a tattooing show that I recently watched, called "Best Ink," there was a mistake on the tattoo that would forever be a part of the skin, or client. The client wanted a scripture from the book of Philippians across their ankle. The tattooer was not religious, nor had she ever been to church or picked up a Bible. The artist asked the client 5 times to spell the word Philippians for her and even asked her to write it down. After the client assured her that she was one hundred percent positive on the spelling the artist proceeded with the tattoo. The artist was then confronted by another competitor and was told that she spelled "Phillipians." This could be the artist's fault because she did not care to look up the spelling on the internet to be sure that her skin was correct; however the fault could fall on the skin for not knowing the spelling of the word and assuring the tattooer it was correct when it was not. Who do you think is at fault here? When things like this happen to me, I try to take some, if not full, responsibility. I am not sure why I do things like that but I feel that if I do something wrong I should own up to it and accept the consequences. This is what I feel everyone should do, but this world is far from perfect and there are more people that are not as honest as others. I hope to see society change someday.
