Many celebrity parents from David Beckham to Angelina Jolie have tattoos to honour their beloved children, so when Orlando Bloom debuted one to his nine-year-old son Flynn, our hearts melted.

The 43-year-old dad-of-one showed off his fresh new ink on Instagram, but in doing so made an awkward error calling his son Frynn rather than Flynn.

Yeah, we wouldnโ€™t be too happy if our dad got our name wrong.

But before you judge too harshly, rather than letters, Flynnโ€™s name is inked on in morse code on his forearm, along with his birth date.

Seeing as the Morse code for โ€˜Rโ€™ is dot dash dot, and the one for โ€˜Lโ€™ is dot dash dot dot, we guess itโ€™s an easy mistake to make but that didnโ€™t stop his fans letting him know in the Instagram comments.

โ€œBut itโ€™s misspelledโ€ฆ. it spells โ€œFRYNNโ€ right now. Youโ€™re missing a dot,โ€ one fan commented.

Another questioned, โ€œDoesnโ€™t L have two dots after the dash?โ€

But tattoo artist Balazs Bercsenyi quickly cleared it up sharing the same photo and captioning it: โ€œA beautiful reminder for @orlandobloom of his son, and yes, a dot is missing, we know, it will be fixed.โ€

Did you spot the Morse code error?

Orlando shares Flynn with ex-wife and former supermodel, Miranda Kerr and the two have spoken about how they co-parent so well.

โ€œWith Miranda, there was a sense that I donโ€™t want my son to go back through the internet where people have made up lies [about us],โ€ Orlando told ELLE UK. โ€œMiranda and I have a remarkable relationship.โ€

The Pirates of the Caribbean star is now engaged to singer Katy Perry, and when she appeared in a photo with Miranda on her Instagram account, it was clear to see there was no bad blood.

โ€œWe really do get along so well,โ€ Miranda revealed on The Morning Show in 2019. โ€œWe all have Flynnโ€™s best interests at heart, in the interests of our family as a whole.

โ€œWe just worked together to work it out โ€ฆ Iโ€™m very happy. It may not have worked out that way, but Iโ€™m really happy and feel very blessed that it has.โ€
