A woman is crying because she got a blackout tattoo on her neck, which she says has completely changed the shape of her face.
There’s no way around it: getting a tattoo is a big deal. People generally think that body art should mean something to the person who has it, but having art you like on your body seems like as good a reason as any.
Tattoos are often a point of contention, especially between people of different ages. In general, younger people are more open to them socially, and workplace rules are starting to change to make it easier to show them off.
Still, getting a tattoo is a big deal because they are permanent and can’t be taken off without a painful and expensive procedure.
When they go wrong, it can be terrible, and one woman says that a blackout tattoo on her neck changed the shape of her face in the worst way possible.
The woman showed her followers her new tattoo on her TikTok account (@spaceatmidnight), but it’s clear she has some regrets about it.
Fresh ink has completely covered her upper cheeks, lower chin, and half of her neck.
I’m having a whole entire identity crisis… because it slightly alters the shape of my face,
she began while holding off tears.
Even though it seems like a strange choice, she says that she had given it a lot of thought and even tried drawing and painting it on herself to see if she liked it.
But that’s when things started to go wrong. She always drew it below her jawline but the tattoo artist put it slightly above.
It’s on my actual face,
the woman went on.
I feel like my face is smothering into my neck.
The video’s title asks people to tell her good news, which some people were there to do.
Breathe in and let go. This has happened, it will look better when the swelling goes down. This moment will pass and you will be okay,
one user wrote.
A second added:
Maybe it’s swelling I’d imagine that the skin would swell a bit with a tattoo like that. maybe give [it] a day.
Other people who saw what the tattoo artist did were shocked. One person said:
I feel you a thousand percent, you are not overreacting.
In a second video, she said that the artist wasn’t to blame. The design was first put on with a stencil, and everyone was happy with it.
