I got a cute tattoo in Thailand… it’s now been two years and it looks completely different
A WOMAN has gone viral after revealing a major ink fail, leaving many people scared to get one.
Whilst soaking up the sun in Thailand, the holiday-goer, Nancy Gill, decided to come home with a new tattoo.
At first, things were off to a good start – the fine line tatt of an aeroplane and the infinity sign looked cute on her ankle.
But just two years after getting it done in 2020, the young woman was mortified upon realising the design had changed completely.
What had once been a delicate inking had now taken up a different shape, with the lines appearing fuller.
To make matters even worse, the black ink on the plane had expanded so much, it resembled something more akin to a bird.

Nancy shared the video on TikTok, where it’s gone viral, racking up over 301,000 views in just one day.
With thousands of views and comments, the clip has also left many people scared to get an inking themselves.
One person wrote: ”Mines gonna look like this I can feel it.”
Another penned: ”maybe i don’t want small tattoos.”

Trying to figure out what had taken place and why the tatt had ended up like that, a social media user said: ”apparently it means they went too deep.”
A third agreed, pointing out that ”the person who done this tattoo clearly wasn’t qualified and they have gone too deep and it’s pooled out”.

A fourth disagreed: ”it’s just ur [your] skin growing and stretching out.”
Someone else had an even more horrific experience: ”my mum got a rose it’s gone like that now looks like sperm.”
Recently, another woman went viral after sharing her tattoo fail.
Posting to TikTok, Ashleigh Gough says that she was in a particularly impulsive move when she decided to find a walk-in parlour and get a tattoo.
However, after arriving back home Ashleigh says: “I think that’s the worst idea I’ve ever had in my life. I don’t like it.”
In the comments she says that what she actually wanted was the word ‘smile’ “but the “il” as a smiley face and the eyes as a semi colon to show solidarity towards mental health.”
But when she looked in the mirror she realised that that isn’t quite how the tattoo looked, and instead it appeared like she’d gotten the word ‘slime’ tattooed on her arm.
“It’s okay, you live and you learn aye,” adds Ashleigh, and in the comments she writes: “It doesn’t look bad just not like the pic I wanted.”

While she doesn’t say if she’ll have the tattoo covered, or lasered off, she does make a reference to having it forever so perhaps not.
She also says: “ It should look better in like a week when it’s healed because the ink has bled so it looks abit thick.”
