I asked for a floral inking on my arm – my tattoo artist said it was ‘perfect’ but it looks like he scribbled in SHARPIE
IF you’ve ever had a tattoo, then chances are it was something you put A LOT of thought into beforehand – after all, they’re something you’re going to live with forever OR endure several rounds of painful laser removal.
But it’s one thing to spend month daydreaming about your fantasy inking and another to actually find a tattoo artist whose work you love.
And we bet this is something TikToker Amber Rei spent longer researching before committing to her first tattoo when she was 18.
In a viral video that’s racked up over 56,000 “likes”, the 20-year-old explained how she asked for a pretty floral design on her arm.
When she arrived for her appointment, Amber brought a photo of the exact inking she wanted – which featured some notoriously tricky shady on the blackberries and leaves.
Naturally, she didn’t think to question him further when he said he accurately could copy the design.

But let’s just say, it didn’t turn out quite as well as Amber had hoped.
Rather than a cluster of flowers, the then-teen ended up with four very dark blackberries, completely grey leaves and some random twigs.

Adding insult to injury, Amber said: “The guy really tattooed me and said ‘perfect’.”
In the comments, she likened the inking to being scribbled on with a Sharpie pen as opposed to the thin dainty lines she’d imagined.
That said, viewers were mostly positive about the tattoo and said it could be easily fixed.
“It’s not bad,” one wrote. “I would just say find an artist who can add some definition and detail to the leaves and berries.”
Another added: “Honestly it really could’ve been worse. It still looks kinda pretty, especially if you don;t think about the intended one.”
“Research your artists guys,” a third said. “We’ve all been there babe its okay!”
