People in hysterics over man’s new tattoo, say he ‘sent Elvis away from Temu’
PEOPLE often get tattoos based on their favorite movies, books, and even actors and singers.
But one man’s tribute to the King of Rock, Elvis Presley, has gone viral for all the wrong reasons.
The image of the tattoo was shared on social media and it seemed no one had anything positive to say about it.
The leg featured an image of Elvis, born in 1935, smiling in a black and gray color scheme.
You could tell the tattoo resembled the rock star, but there was something strange about it.
First, his forehead was much too large and his eyes were at different heights on his face, causing them to look in opposite directions.
His famous pearly white smile looked more like a smirk and his nose was way too big compared to the real nose.
The post quickly went viral on the Facebook group, That’s it, I’m inkshaming. (Basically bad tattoos)where people quickly expressed their disgust in the comments.
Many joked that the portrait looked like a cheap version of the King of Rock.
Someone wrote: “When you can see what it is, but it’s still bad, it’s a confusing feeling. His right eye is winking at you.”
Another commented: “What happens if you chase Elvis out of Temu?”
“When you type ‘Elvish’ instead of Elvis,” wrote a third.
Meanwhile, a fourth said: “Oh, this one hurts.”
“This has completely shocked me,” claimed a fifth.
Someone else added: “Wow.”
While many people choose to have portraits of their favorite celebrities engraved onto their skin, there are a few things you should consider before getting started.
What to do and not to do when getting a tattoo
1. Think, think and think again
Tattoos that you get done on a whim are much more likely to lead to regret than a tattoo that you have thought long and hard about. Think about why you want what you have chosen. And if you still want it after a few months, get it.
2. Age restrictions apply
In the UK you must be 18 years old to get a tattoo.
3. Don’t negotiate the price
When you go to a tattoo shop, the price is the price. You pay for the time and skill of an artist, they charge what they think those things are worth.
4. Don’t get tattooed when you’re hungry
Eat before your tattoo session and stay hydrated. You are about to undergo a period of prolonged physical discomfort, if you are feeling a little weak from hunger or dehydrated it will not go as smoothly as it should.
5. Don’t drink alcohol before getting a tattoo
If you are drunk or on drugs, do not get a tattoo. In fact, if your tattoo artist has any of their stuff, they will turn you away if you are clearly under the influence of any intoxicants. I would also not drink the night before, even a few drinks will thin your blood and make you bleed more.
According to nrstudios Choosing a skilled and experienced portrait tattoo artist is essential for a successful outcome.
Not every tattoo artist is suitable for this, so it is important to first view their portfolio before making an appointment.
