Disney tattoo goes viral: When good ideas meet bad craftsmanship
In the colorful world of tattoos, there are always stories that make us smile - or make us doubt the artistic skills of some tattoo artists. One such story is currently causing a stir: A woman proudly presented her new Disney tattoo, only to be ridiculed online for its questionable quality.
A dream becomes... well, let's say, tattooed
The lady in question enthusiastically shared her new tattoo on Facebook, which is a combination of Ariel, the Little Mermaid, and Minnie Mouse. What's particularly noteworthy is that the design was done by her then-boyfriend, whom she praised for his artistic skills. She described the tattoo as the start of her "Disney sleeve" and couldn't wait to add more motifs.
Reality Strikes Back
But the internet wouldn't be the internet if it left such posts uncommented. A screenshot of her post landed on Reddit in the infamous "S**tyTattoos" thread, and the reactions weren't long in coming. Many users could hardly contain their amusement and commented on the unusual depiction of the figures. Some were reminded of Michael Jackson, others said Minnie was being breastfed by Ariel. The creativity of the comments was almost as impressive as the tattoo itself.
Love is blind – also for tattoo designs?
A few defended the woman by pointing out the sentimental value of the tattoo - after all, it was designed by her partner. However, it was later revealed that the relationship has since ended. Whether the tattoo played a role in this remains speculation.
Lessons for future tattoo enthusiasts
This story reminds us how important it is to be careful when choosing a tattoo design and artist.
Here are some tips to ensure your next tattoo doesn't become an internet meme:
1. Do some research : Take a close look at the tattoo artist's work and make sure that his style matches your ideas. Conventions are also a great way to get an overview of different artists.
2. Get critiques : Get opinions from friends or an experienced tattoo artist before deciding on a design.
3. Professional instead of amateur : Even if your partner or friend likes to draw – a professional tattoo artist has the necessary experience and technique.
Conclusion
Tattoos are a wonderful way to immortalize personal stories and passions on your skin. But as this story shows, a hasty decision can quickly turn into a viral laugh. So, dear tattoo fans: think, research and choose wisely - so that your body decoration triggers admiring glances and not fits of laughter.
