Tattoo artist roasted for ‘demon-like' image of client's baby: ‘I'm sorry you lost your dog bro'
Terrible tattoos are timeless, but as of late, it seems like more and more inked-up individuals are taking to the Internet to share their strange, questionable and sometimes even trashy tattoos. Between Gen-Z's recent revival of the tramp stamp and a Swiss woman's viral $600 Red Bull barcode tattoo, social media users seem to agree that they could go a while without seeing another mega-viral miss in the tattoo department. Unfortunately for the aforementioned members of the public, Cairo-based tattoo artist Thomas Tattoos proved to be the latest object of ink-based ridicule after he posted a video to his Instagram account, @ink_by_thomas, presenting his latest piece. The piece was presumably intended to be a portrait of the client's daughter, but commenters saw more resemblance between the final product and Gollum from 'The Lord of the Rings' — a demon and the fictitious ogre, Shrek, were also popular comparisons. Evidently, the visually offensive tattoo struck a nerve with social media users who stumbled across the video, which now has over 31 million views and thousands of comments — and shockingly, they're practically all negative. 'What days are you closed?' asked one commenter, while another like-minded inquired: 'Ayoo, do you accept walkouts?' 'Your wife must have a tattoo removal business…. I see what you're doing now,' replied a commenter under another video on the artist's page. Some users speculated that maybe, just maybe, the tattoo wasn't that bad, and the baby just happened to be… unpleasant looking. 'Prayers for the baby if it looks like that,' offered one sympathetic scroller. 'Well, it's not nice to say… But not all kids are pretty and cute,' said another. Meanwhile, another slightly more suspicious individual said, 'I gotta see the reference picture.' Ask and you shall receive, apparently. Shortly after comments like this rolled in, Thomas Tattoos shared a post of the original stencil design side-by-side with the finished piece. 'I don't have an appointment, but I would like to cancel anyway,' replied one aggrieved commenter after seeing the stencil. Instagram / @ink_by_thomas Unfortunately for Thomas Tattoos, commenters found the tattoo even more outrageous after seeing the original portrait of the baby, Tallin. 'Bro doesn't have customers, he has victims,' joked one reply. 'You sell vouchers?' asked one malicious user, 'My ex is gonna get one for a big piece.' As many commenters noted, typically, tattooists specialize in one or at most, a few art styles. Judging from other content on the artist's page, he does everything from traditional to fine line to portraits to geometric cyber sigilism tattoos. Despite the firestorm of fury on behalf of the customer that followed the viral video, Thomas Tattoos doesn't seem to have taken the commenters' negativity to heart. The ink master is still keeping followers and haters alike up to date on all of his latest work on his Instagram account, and shows no signs of slowing down — he's even done another baby portrait!

Internet shocked after tribute tattoo for young girl goes HORRIBLY wrong: 'Demon-like'
A tattoo meant to be a tribute to a child went horribly wrong after the internet claimed the heartwarming body art looked more like a 'demon' than a baby. Back in April, tattoo artist Thomas Tattoos, from Cairo, Egypt, shared a now-viral clip showcasing the ink design of a young girl that he had done on a man's chest. He wiped away access ink to reveal the permanent body art, but many people on the web felt that tat was a little scarier than expected. What should have been the face of a smiling baby girl was replaced with, what some described as 'Shrek's kid,' 'Gollum from Lord of the Rings,' or a 'demon.' The tattoo was very dark with intense shading on her face, and it appeared that her eyes and nose weren't done correctly, leaving the father with a jarring new piece. Thomas also tattooed the child's name - Tallin - at the bottom of the portrait in dark lettering. The video has amassed over 30.6 million views in over a month, and users rushed to the comment section to express their horror. 'What days are you closed?' someone asked, while another joked, 'Ayo do you accept walkouts?' 'Just needs some shading. A black four-inch square over the whole thing will make it pop,' a different user suggested. 'I don't have an appointment, but I still want to cancel,' one person wrote. 'They kept wiping it as if it was going to get better,' another comment read. In another post about the tattoo, Thomas placed the stencil next to the complete piece to show a before and after. But that only erupted in more backlash from his followers, who pointed out that there was a clear difference between the two. 'Poor little girl! The tattooist made her look like Gollum from Lord of the Rings. Do you really believe that you can tattoo?' someone penned. 'I honestly don't believe you [have] customers. They must not see how you work before they book in.' 'This post is bad for business. Haha,' another responded. 'Not every artist can do portraits. With all due respect, please don't,' a different person requested. 'Brother, respectfully, this is terrible. You really should apologize to him and give him a full refund,' someone else shared. 'Then set him up with another tattoo artist who can do it properly then cover up the mess you made.' 'Shrek called - he wants his kids back,' a different person said.

‘Man doesn't have clients, he has victims' people cry as a tattoo artist shares child tribute that ‘looks like a demon'
TRIBUTE tattoos can either be sweet and sentimental - or go totally wrong. Unfortunately, this is exactly what happened to one man after his child tribute inking turned out like something out of a horror movie. 4 4 The master behind the piece was Instagram user Thomas Tattoos, from Cairo, Egypt, who regularly shares some of this work online. But while some of this pieces have become a huge hit, the little tot tribute has gone viral - and unfortunately, for all the wrong reasons. The now-viral clip, which has racked up an astronomical 25.1million views, Thomas films the man's chest, before he proceeds to wipe it clean. However, as the cleaning solution slowly faded away and the final result was revealed, viewers cried in sheer horror. Sharing the bizarre inking on his page, Thomas wrote in the caption: ''Portrait, New tattoo, new design.'' In another post, the tattoo artist also put a stencil of the adorable little tot next to the final inking that looked nothing like the child. Horrified people flooded to comments, where one critic joked and said: ''Man doesn't have clients he has victims.'' Someone else chimed in: ''Do you do vouchers? Someone I really hate has a birthday soon...'' ''I don't have an appointment but I still want to cancel,'' a third commented. ''YOU GOT HIDDEN TALENT MAN !! PLEASE KEEP IT HIDDEN,'' another Instagram user begged after seeing the inking which others thought looked like ''a baby demon''. I got an elephant tattoo - but it looks like a penis Speaking of bad tattoos, one woman was recently left mortified after she realised her and boyfriend's matching tattoos was a terrible mistake, thanks to a visit to Lidl. Keen to take the relationship to the next step and showcase their love for one another, Lauren Mullane and her former partner got matching tattoos. The inking that the young Irish lass placed on her wrist read ''Siempre'' - which in Spanish translates to ''Always''. Which tattoos hurt the most? Depending on what part of your body you choose to ink, tattoos can range significantly in terms of pain levels. Some of the most painful areas are those where the skin tends to be thinner or closer to the bone. Each area has specific factors which contribute to the level of pain. Ribcage: Thin skin, little muscle, and many nerve endings. Feet and ankles: Many bones, tendons, and nerve endings close to the surface. Hands and fingers: Many bones, tendons, and nerve endings, resulting in increased pain during tattooing. Knuckles can be especially painful. Spine: Proximity of the spinal cord and nerve endings makes it sensitive. Tattooing directly over the vertebrae can be especially painful. Knees and elbows: Thin skin and little padding between the skin and the underlying bones. Armpits and groin: High concentration of nerve endings and lymph nodes. Neck and throat: Thin and sensitive skin, with many nerve endings and blood vessels close to the surface. Source: Tatt2Away But while the pair may have not thought much about the seemingly innocent tattoo, Lauren was in for the shock of her lifetime after a visit to the local Lid l left her mortified. Sharing the epic fail on her TikTok page, the blonde beauty revealed how the romantic ''Siempre'' had a very different meaning in the beauty aisle - where a period pad brand was also named Siempre. To make the matters even worse, it appeared that both the wrist inking and the brand's logo had the exact same font, leaving Lauren horrified. ''POV: You get a matching tattoo with your ex and it turns out to be the Lidl period pad range logo,'' she wrote in the video. ''At least I have a monthly reminder now,'' she joked in the caption. 4 4
