My friend’s daughter paid £239 for the worst tattoo ever – people are calling it an ‘expensive lesson in stupidity’

A WOMAN who paid £239 for her first-ever tattoo has been warned she made an “expensive lesson in stupidity”.

She had opted to have three star outlines inked behind her ear, and had proudly shared a picture of the etching on social media.

However, one of her dad’s friends spotted the snap, and was left so stunned by the misshapen design that they decided to post it on Reddit.

“Daughter of a friend paid $300 (£239) for this s**t,” they wrote alongside the picture.

They also said in the comments section that the mum of the tattooed girl was actually “pretty happy” with the way it turned out – as she had been so against her getting an inking in the first place.

Other people in the comments were quick to weigh in, with pointing out that the price worked out at $100 (£79) a star.

“Star is very generous description of those things,” another said.

“Those are called ‘sarts’,” a third joked.

“Brother I’m sorry to tell you but you seriously got ripped off!” someone else insisted.

“I know a woman with a daughter who has a friend that knows a tattoo person that coulda hooked you up with 3 perfectly wonky stars that you’ve ever seen.”

“The tattoo ‘artist’ should have paid her $300,” another said.

“The person who did this robbed this girl,” someone else raged.

“And borderline disfigured her. She couldn’t have gone to a legit tattooer.

“This is typical scratcher work.

“Sorry, she should file a claim in small claims court for her $300 and the max in pain and suffering. This is so bad.”

“I would have called the cops,” another wrote.

With someone else pointing out: “You CAN sue a tattoo artist in small claims court for up to $10k.

“You need to print out a picture of the stars you wanted, then print out pictures from that tattoo artists Instagram or the shop’s Instagram proving reasonable assumption of what you expected to receive and file it with Small Claims.

“This would be a very simple case to win. Good luck!”

While another suggested: “It can be fixed.

“Wait 3 weeks to a month for it to heal and have someone do blacked out stars a tiny bit bigger to cover it.”
