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 posted on her TikTok account (@spaceatmidnight) where she showed her followers her new ink, though it’s clear she has some regrets.
Her upper cheeks, lower chin, and half of her neck are completely blacked out with fresh ink. “I’m having a whole entire identity crisis… because it slightly alters the shape of my face,” she began while holding off tears.
In spite of it seeming like a bizarre decision, she reveals that she had thought long and hard about getting the tattoo and that she even drew and painted it on herself to see if she liked it.
However, that’s where the problems began, as she would always draw it below her jawline whereas the tattoo artist inked it on slightly above.
“It’s on my actual face,” the woman went on. “I feel like my face is smothering into my neck.” The caption of the video asks viewers to give her good news, which some were on hand to do.
@spaceatmidnight Please tell me good news because I need it 😭 I just got it done yesterday so it’s still fresh and healing. #tattoo #necktattoo #blackouttattoo #blackout #alt #identycrisis ♬ original sound – SpaceAtMidnight
