‘Rare occurrence of a inking not being pointless’ people hail woman’s clever tattoo which will save her time doing DIY
A WOMAN has been praised for her very clever tattoo which will save her loads of time doing DIY.
Julie showed off her “functional” inking in a video on her TikTok page, as she explained how she makes the most of it in every situation.
She began the clip by showing her finger – which had measurement marks tattooed on the side – up against a traditional measuring tape.
Julie then used the inking to measure the width of a plank of wood, before figuring out the depth of a glass of water, some concrete and even a business card.
And people in the comments section were quick to weigh in on the tattoo, with many praising Julie’s ingenuity.
“Rare occurrence of a tattoo that isn’t completely pointless!” one wrote.
“They called a functional tattoo,” another added.
“This is actually the best tattoo anyone could get,” a third praised.
“As a Civil Engineer who measures everyday things, I approve,” someone else wrote.
“I lowkey want to do this,” another said.
“The amount of times I’ve measured things with my fingers thinking how much easier it would be to get a ruler tattoo!” someone else admitted.
“Now get a level bubble on top of the finger,” another else joked.
“Let’s be honest that’s genius!” someone else praised.
“As a costume designer, this would be so useful,” another admitted.
“I’ve memorised the distance to the joints to measure without one, but this is definitely better,” someone else said.
And others said that Julie isn’t the only one to have had the “functional” tattoo on her finger.
“I have a ruler tattoo as a fine dining chef, works a treat,” one wrote.
“Genius!” Julie replied.
“I have the same tattoo!” another added.
“I’ve had mine for about 10 years and it’s my absolute favourite!”
“I’ve had a 3 inch ruler tattooed on my index finger for over a decade, it practical AF!!” a third wrote.
“I did the exact same thing but got the tip of my finger cut off at work one day,” someone else said.
To which Julie said “Ouch!”
