A gutted body art enthusiast was left feeling her latest work failed to make the cut - a shoddily drawn knife design on her hand.
The Mirror reports how she opted for a lucky dip "get what you get" tat and pulled out a design of animated hero Shrek. But the 23 year-old switched to a knife inking only to regret the decision when she saw the underwhelming result. She thought there was nothing to worry about when taking to the tattooist's chair as a pal had previously had a positive experience.
But to her horror, she said an apprentice was allowed to work on her hand without supervision and blasted her new tat as "awful", In a video shared via TikTok, the woman, who goes by the username @malyev, said: "I got a tattoo yesterday, and it's awful. [...] I got my money back, so that's not the problem.

"I messaged the shop owner instead of the artist because I knew it was going to be kind of weird. Little did I know that, if you're an apprentice, as she was, you are not supposed to work on hands. You're supposed to work on arms and legs. And there was no one else in the shop. She was the only one there, and she did my f****** hand."
Showing a pic of the finished tattoo, Malyev, who clarified she had scheduled a cover-up, continued: "The knife is backward. Why is the blade pointing that way and not this way?" In a follow-up vid, Malyev revealed her body art looked even worse after six days of healing, despairing: "You can count at least three blowouts. The ink is coming out on the handle.
"The ink is coming out up on the blade. The shading has completely gone down. You can tell on the tip of the knife that something f****** happened up there too." She went on to clarify she's treated this tattoo just like any of the others she's had and has made sure to keep it perfectly clean.
Going forward, Malyev has plans to cover up her botched tat with a new design she's really excited about, keeping her followers updated with her progress.
