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.

Nepo baby, 21, is spitting image of '90s TV star mother as she cuddles lion in Africa - but can you guess who her famous parent is?
A nepo baby looked the spitting image of her 90s TV star mother as she cuddled a lion in Africa. The conservationist and model, 21, recently took to her Instagram to share a video of herself cuddling two lions before releasing them into the wild with her father. Resting her head on one lion, she penned: 'My beautiful ZEMO on the day we released him in Africa. I can't wait to see him soon.' The 21-year-old has followed in both of her famous parents' footsteps as she dropped out of school to pursue her interests in both the entertainment and conservation industries. She now boasts 1.5 million followers on Instagram and regularly gives fans an insight into her daily life surrounded by animals. But can you guess who the nepo baby and her famous parents are? That's right! It's Freya Aspinall, the daughter of English actress Donna Air and businessman Damian Aspinall. Donna was just 21 when she met and fell in love with multimillionaire Damian, who was 40 at the time. They were introduced at a dinner party in 2000 by mutual friend, former It Girl Tara Palmer-Tomkinson, and went on to have a seven-year relationship, before they split in July 2007. Damian owns The Aspinall Foundation, which partners with Howletts Wild Animal Park, founded by his father John Aspinall. The Aspinall Foundation is a British charity founded in 1984 that strives to promote wildlife conservation and return captive animals back to the wild, while also running projects abroad to protect endangered species. It runs both Howletts and Port Lympne Park, which is set on 600 acres and houses many rare and endangered species, with the largest breeding herd of black rhinos in the UK. Freya has inherited her father's love of conservation and dedicates her time to caring for various animals in the sanctuary and is being lined up to one day inherit his position as chair of the Aspinall Foundation. She has also inherited her mother's good looks as she became the youngest model on the books of Storm, the agency discovered by Kate Moss, in 2018. But rather than spend most of her time on the runway, she spends her days in the park caring for orphaned lion cubs and gorillas. The influencer uses her Instagram to promote the importance of conversation work, sharing heartwarming videos of her cuddling with big cats and feeding gorillas by hand in their enclosures, raking in an impressive 1.5million followers. Freya has shown she's not a typical 'nepo baby', with it being reported that when she signed her modelling contract she insisted she would use her profile to promote conservation issues. Calling herself a 'mini version' of dad Damian, she has said if she ever books a magazine cover it will be as a conservationist rather than a model. Speaking to the Financial Times, she admitted: 'I grew up with animals and couldn't imagine my world without them. This is in my blood – I've always known what I wanted to do.' And it's no wonder she shares such a close bond with animals, after being placed in in a gorilla enclosure at Howletts as a baby to be carried off by the female of the group. It was a ritual Damian had carried out with his first two daughters, Tansy and Clary, from his 15-year marriage to Louise Sebag-Montefiore. Describing his plans for Freya at the time, he told London's Evening Standard: 'It's a ritual. I'll probably give her to the dominant female who will take her off, sex her, and introduce her to the others. I did this with my other daughters, now it's Freya's turn.' While Donna fully approved of the plan because she did not believe that Freya would be in any danger. Damian added: 'Why would I not trust them? I know them, I grew up with them. They are my friends.' And Freya is certainly not afraid of getting up and close to exotic animals at the family wildlife park. She has described Port Lympne Wild Animal Park in Kent where she loves to feed the giraffes as one of her 'favourite places to be'. She's often seen cuddling and feeding treats to a pair of gorillas, Silverback Kifu and Tambabi, that she has known since birth.

Taylor Swift fan left mortified after tattoo artist misspelled inking inspired singer
A woman got a Taylor Swift-inspired tattoo for her husband... and then noticed an extremely awkward error. Arkansas, was inspired by one of her favorite lyrics from the song Guilty As Sin?, which reads: 'What if he's written "mine" on my upper thigh?' She had her husband Vito write the word 'mine' and got it tattooed onto her upper thigh - but after leaving the tattoo parlor, she noticed the inking was spelled wrong. The tattoo artist wrote 'mime' instead of 'mine', leaving the Swiftie mortified. She detailed the mishap in a video shared to Instagram that has now gone viral. 'Thinking we're being cute with a Taylor Swift x romantic thigh tattoo,' she wrote over a clip of her husband writing out the word 'mine' on a paper. The video then cut to them in the tattoo shop picking the placement for her new tat. The artist was also seen holding the stencil over her thigh, which clearly said 'mine'. But she then showed the final result. Liz wrote on the video: 'Mime what the f***??' She seemed to be making the most of the situation as she added in the caption: 'Friendship and Taylor Swift tattoo fails to kick off the summer. 'Don't worry, I'm 1,000 per cent laughing about this and love it just the same - my mom said maybe it's cursive.' While speaking to Newsweek about it, Liz explained, 'We'd been thinking about getting tattoos in each other's handwriting for a bit. 'I know the song isn't necessarily about "the one", but that lyric felt cheeky and had a little sex appeal. 'I didn't notice the cursive misspelling until I was driving away. We were running late to dinner, got bandaged up, and hopped in the car. Then I looked at the video I took and thought, "Does that say Mime?"' Liz said she doesn't believe the artist 'intentionally messed it up' and that they seemed 'great' during the session. She added: 'We had awesome conversation. I just wish they followed the stencil a little more closely.' In the end, she said she and her husband are laughing about it now - and he has even started calling her 'Mime'. She added: 'I've got a great new nickname out of it. These things don't phase me. I've chuckled at myself countless times just thinking about the story. 'Of course I couldn't plan for the misspelling, but I think life's funniest moments come from the unplanned. 'After seeing the cursive, I was even more excited to share because I thought it might make other folks laugh, too - especially my fellow Swifties!'
