I’m a tattoo artist – the two inkings that make you look tacky and the common design that always makes me cringe
A TATTOO artist has revealed the inkings she hates the most – from the tackiest to the ones that leave her cringing.
Enivara actually works as a tattoo apprentice, but has seen enough designs to know which she’d advise against getting.
“Tattoo designs I HATE,” she wrote over the top of her TikTok video, before kicking off with a “trash polka” design that’s “way too messy” for her brain.
Next was a lion alongside a rose, which Enivara said was giving ‘Alpha Male Mighty Mouse’ energy.
While she doesn’t have anything against anchor inkings, it’s the ones that have “I refuse to sink” written next to them that she doesn’t see the point of.
“An anchor is SUPPOSED to sink,” she sighed.
Name tattoos are also a massive no-no for Enivara, as she insisted: “Unless it’s your kids name or a dead relative DON’T do it.
“You’re gonna jinx it and it’s going to be a HARD coverup.”
Likewise, think twice before getting a spouse work-related design like ‘Army wife’.
“It’s corny and if you break up…” she said.
Next was coordinates, which she said often have absolutely no meaning whatsoever – “just wanting numbers on yourself”.
Tribal tattoos were the first “tacky” ones she mentioned, as she said that they are the worst when they’re on “white men or women who have no cultural attachment to it”.
Bird inkings and star tattoos are also “tacky and outdated”, while the “live, laugh, love” arrow tattoos were enough to get an honourable mention in the video.
“Enough said,” she added.
“I did 8 ‘Live, Laugh, Love’ as an apprentice in one week,” one person commented on the video.
As another added: “Me, empathetically ‘yes, yes, oh hell yes’ and then anchor tattoo comes up and I die of my own shame.”
Envira also replied to someone else’s comment explaining: “I come from a culture where tattoos are earned.
“Just because I don’t like certain tattoos doesn’t mean I have a style everyone else likes. Get over it.”
“This is exactly why i would be scared to get a tattoo!” another person commented on the video.
With Enivara replying: “This is my opinion!! People like what they like and that’s ok!
“I have tattoos other people don’t like. It’s your body.”
