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.

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!'

Bizarre twist to Labubu craze sweeping Australia
The latest craze sweeping the country has taken a step towards the bizarre, with Aussies now paying to get their Labubus professionally tattooed. The Labubu, a furry plushie featuring a bizarre grin and sharp teeth, has taken Australia and the world by storm. Designed by Hong Kong-born artist Kasing Lung, the product is sold by Chinese toy company Pop Mart following a collaboration with Lung on his story series book The Monsters, released in 2015. While the Labubu hit the market in Asia in 2019, the slightly scary-looking plushie only took off after Blackpink's Lisa, a popular K-pop singer, was spotted with a $32 keychain version of the doll attached to her handbag in April 2024. And in just 12 months, the whole world has become hooked. Massive queues have been spotted outside stores as customers clamber to get their hands of the gremlin-looking item. Customers have also been buying tiny outfits for the toys. And now, collectors have taken the trend further by personalising the toys, with some paying for professional tattoo artists to add facial designs. On Tuesday night a Sydney tattoo artist was working on two Labubu toys, adding intricate designs to the face of the monster, each tattoo costing $25. And she is not alone. A tattoo studio in Parramatta has put a call out to customers wishing to personalise their toys. 'Your collection is not complete without a Labubu tattoo. Calling all Labubu lovers! 'Get your Labubu tattooed today,' the post read. What is a Labubu? The small, bunny-like toys with a doll's face are sold via 'blind boxes', meaning customers don't know which style they've secured. The demand has led to huge lines forming outside stores before they even open.

Muscular Trump ally unveils dramatic new tattoo showing off his undying patriotism
Congressman Cory Mills has gotten a dramatic new tattoo showing off his patriotic side. The Florida Republican has added a colorful display showing off the nation's Capitol on his arm, according to a picture of the new ink shared with the Daily Mail. Featuring the dome of the US Capitol building in front of clouds and a shimmering sun, Mill's tattoo also features the first three words of the Constitution: 'We the People.' The display on the congressman's forearm is done in white and black shading with some red throughout, including for the coloring of waving American flag on the Capitol's roof. Mills, 44, is a US military veteran who served in the Army's airborne division and then earned a fortune in the private security industry. He coordinated civilian evacuations from Afghanistan in 2021 and Haiti in 2024. Mills is one to dive into danger, he previously jumped out of a plane in France for D-Day celebration. And he was given a prime seat by President Trump at the Army's 250th anniversary parade over the weekend. The new ink, he told the Daily Mail, is an extension of his Christian faith and patriotism. 'The Capitol dome is the center point of our nation's Capitol. Above the Speaker's chair in the House is proudly displayed, 'In God We Trust',' he told the Daily Mail in a statement. The Capitol tattoo accompanies a piece on Mill's shoulder showing St. Michael slaying a dragon. The two tattoos have deep spiritual meaning for Mills, he has said 'Our constitution was written with our Christian Judeo faith in mind, and to preserve our rights from tyranny.' 'It's a place I came to continue my service in the fight for freedom and the ongoing battle of good vs evil.' The Capitol tattoo compliments another scene on Mills' shoulder, which was meant to cover up an older piece on his arm. 'I had my Rosary beads since about 2000 that I paid $100 to get,' Mills told the Daily Mail of his now covered up ink. He said it faded due to sun exposure time. 'My Archangel Michael (done in 2024) was a bit of a coverup on the original tattoo but keeping me grounded in my faith. Reminding me we are always in a battle of good vs evil.' The tattoo comes after questions over Mill's faith came to the forefront last month after a report indicated that the Republican was married in a ceremony overseen by an Islamic teacher with ties to extremism. Mills married his soon-to-be ex-wife, Rana Al Saadi, a naturalized American from Iraq, in 2014 at the Dar Al-Hijirah Islamic Center in Falls Church. The two were wed by Mohammad Al-Hanooti, who was reportedly an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. Reports indicate that Al-Hanooti, born in Palestine in 1937, was a leader of the Muslim Brotherhood and a fundraiser for Hamas. Though Mills pushed back saying the Islamic ceremony was necessary so his wife could go home to Iraq to visit an ailing relative. She 'would've been arrested' without documentation of her religious marriage to Mills, the congressman told The Blaze, the outlet who first reported on Mills' wedding ceremony. The congressman has said he is a practicing Christian.
