I got my first tattoo & it was a big mistake – it’s wonky and trolls say it looks like an apprentice’s dodgy work
A WOMAN has revealed that she got her first tattoo done but it was a big mistake.
Not only is the shading uneven, but she also said that the lines are wonky and to top things off, it’s not even symmetrical too.
Beauty fan Shaye took to social media to show off her new tattoo, leaving many open-mouthed.
Posting on TikTok under the username @xsfmx19, Shaye documented the process of getting her first tattoo.
But Shaye’s tattoo experience didn’t go quite as planned, as she said: “I thought mandalas were supposed to be symmetrical.”
In the clip, we first saw Shaye preparing for her inking, as she filled out a form with her personal details.
She noted: “Imagine getting your first tattoo – you’re excited, you have your friend with you, all should go well!”
Shaye then shared an image of the mandala elbow tattoo she had asked for, as she added: “You requested this exact piece.”
We then saw Shaye lying down, getting her inking, as she continued: “You sit like a rock for hours. You TRUST your artist.”
However, Shaye then shared a video of her finished tattoo, as she shared: “All for it to turn out like THIS…”
To Shaye’s disappointment, her permanent mandala did not turn out as she had hoped.
She added: “The stencil looked fine.
“The PERMANENT janked lines and awful shading is where the problem lies.”
As a result of her “tattoo fail” she said that she had “learnt her lesson” and wouldn’t be getting a tattoo “ever again.”
At the time of writing, the video was posted just one day prior, and the clip had clearly shocked many, as it had quickly racked up 30,500 views.
It had 3,329 likes, 822 comments, 117 saves and 96 shares.
Social media users were left stunned at the inking and many took to the comments to express this.
One person said: “I can’t imagine, have fun with the removal.”
Another added: “Hope you got a refund for that.”
A third commented: “Was it a qualified artist or an apprentice tho?”
Meanwhile, someone else noted: “Looks like you scratched it a whole lot!!!”
Whilst another user posted: “Elbow is a hard heal, it’s not a bad tattoo in my opinion.”
