I’m a tattoo artist and here’s 5 popular inkings I absolutely hate – the rose is too generic and white ink has got to go
A TATTOO artist has shared the five popular inkings that she absolutely hates.
So if you’re thinking about getting a tattoo, and aren’t sure what to get, you’ll need to listen up.
Particularly if you fancied getting a rose, or maybe something in white ink, you’ll want to take notes.
Mikaela, an Irish tattoo artist, recently took to social media to share the tattoos that she isn’t keen on.
The young woman said: “Tattoos I hate as a tattoo artist…But each to their own.”
The first tattoo that Mikaela can’t stand is when couples get matching ‘King’ and ‘Queen’ inkings on their wrists.
As she shared a random image of such tattoos, the tattooer wrote: “Please, just no.”
Mikaela then shared an image of a random woman with a hand tattoo.
To this, she claimed: “Only looks good when your hand is on your face?”
Shortly after, Mikaela then posted an image of a white tattoo, which left her very unimpressed.
Not a fan of white ink in general, Mikaela asked: “White ink. Why? Not even visible.”
Following this, Mikaela shared her thoughts on lion tattoos.
Sharing an image of a large lion inking on someone’s arm, the artist admitted: “Looks really good, just too generic for me.”
Similar to this, Mikaela then posted an image of a rose tattoo, as she explained: “Same with the little rose.”
The tattoo artist later explained: “If someone’s booking in for them I’ll still do them but I’ll prioritise the stuff I like doing first.”
Split opinions
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @mikaela_x26, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has amassed a staggering 486,800 views.
But social media users were left divided by the clip – while some were keen to agree with Mikaela, others couldn’t disagree more.
One user claimed: “Totally agree.”
Whilst a second admitted: “I actually hate my rose tattoo.”
To this, Mikaela confirmed: “Most people get it as their first and regret it.”
Meanwhile, another person said: “I love white ink tattoos.”
To this, Mikaela replied: “Yeah everyone has their own styles. Just me personally I wouldn’t get them.”
Whilst someone else shared: “I got the hand tattoo and it looks great.”
