So I'm wanting a Murphy's Law tattoo, not the band but the saying. "if it can go wrong, it will". We've come up with a couple ideas, make up with broken mirror, busted blackjack hand, and an upside down cupcake with icing side down. Any other ideas? This will be about the size of a hand on the upper thigh.

are you doing ALL of those things the size of a hand, or just one of them?

Just one of those. I'm looking for any other ideas or examples.

One of my Dad's quotes is: bread always lands butter side down.

1.) Rear of a vehicle with trunk open, Obvious flat tire, Lug wrench in hand, But the jacks missing from its labeled spot.

2.) Fire starting in the office garbage can, flames starting to climb the drapes, Hand reaching for the fire extinguisher on wall, except it's missing.

3.) Flipping pancakes and they stick to the ceiling.

4.) Fishing and the long spear hook catches bottom of the small flat bottom boat puncturing a hole in the aluminum, water coming in, slowly sinking.

5.) Opening the fridge to find the case of beer is just an empty cardboard box.

6.) Billboard in the background with a message saying "Homeless and need Free shelter? We can help, Call 555-1212" And closer is a homeless guy next to a payphone in filthy ripped up cloths, phone says .25 cents on it and you can see in his open palm he only has .15 cents.
