I can’t find a picture of the “STUGGLE” tattoo, but the word is too good to not be used in referring to misspelled tattoos.
Here are a few stuggles I’ve come across recently:
One of my personal favorites:
Another one I saw on this site:
A couple of foreign language stuggles:
(the following one also found at rankmytattoos linked above.)
David Beckham stuggled his wife’s name in Hindi:
If you have any stuggle pictures email them to me and I will put them up here. Especially if you come across the “STUGGLE” stuggle.
Even better: actually go out and get a “STUGGLE” tattoo.
(Credit where it is due: Mary and Will told me the stuggle story a week or so ago, and Sean sent me the "AWSOME" picture last week. A while back I saw the Chicago Tribune story on reddit, and saw the rankmytattoo link on reddit this morning.)

So, the David Beckham thing may or may not be a stuggle.
It basically says "Vhictoria" (vhikToriyaa), rather than "Victoria". However, when English words are transcribed into the Hindi script. you sometimes see [v] written as [vh] ("avenue" is written as "avhenue" on a sign near our apartment in Bombay).
I think this might just be to distinguish it from [w] ([v] and [w] are not contrastive in Hindi), but I'll have to check with someone in India on that.
