"finally dot it right! How do you make a mistake like that? #pinterestfail," he captioned the new image Wednesday. "fortunately I know how to spell Sidi. Forever my boy."

Showing off his new tat last week, the "Pirates of the Caribbean" star teased in an Instagram caption, "new #tattoo can you guess who?"

However, his tattoo artist made sure fans knew that he could fix it. On Bercsenyi's personal Instagram, the he admitted, "yes, a dot is missing, we know, it will be fixed" along with a smile emoji.
