Influencer left in tears after her 'dream tattoo' went horribly wrong

A woman who went to get the tattoo of her dreams ended up with regret when she got pretty much the opposite of what she asked for.

Tia Kabir was left in tears after she'd travelled to Bali to get a tattoo and had been dreaming of having 'Angel Energy' etched in ink just above her elbow, but things didn't turn out the way she planned.

Take a look:

She filmed herself in floods of tears as she explains to the camera she had come to Bali ‘to get a tattoo’.

Seeming pretty heartbroken and with other existing tattoos like roman numerals across her chest and text on the back of her hand, she says: “And I had been dreaming to get this tattoo because I just don’t get tattoos all the time.

“I get one like every few months.”

Whoops. (TikTok/@tiakabirr)

Tia's dream tattoo had been getting ‘Angel Energy’ onto her skin, but showing off the end results it was clear that one simple mistake had scuppered things for her.

Speaking in between absolute sobs and showing her new tattoo, she showed that it had been written 'Energy Angel'.

While she said she’d been ‘lost for words’ in the caption, users commented that ‘energy angel is way cooler’, calling it ‘so bada*s’.

Another points out: “At least it doesn’t say energy angle.”

With others writing: “You could own it in a good way? Energy Angel sounds cool af.”

But others had a little less sympathy as they say: “The first mistake was going to Bali to get a tattoo.”

As one also puts: “That’s what u get when ur budget for ur DREAM tattoo is $20.”

That was meant to be the other way around. (TikTok/@tiakabirr)

Speaking to Femail, she said she'd 'always wanted something powerful' as her tattoo.

She said: “I believe through everything I have been through to becoming the influencer I am now. I can leave a good spirit imprinted on my body.”

But this outcome came after two mistakes beforehand as she explains: “The size was incorrect the first time, the second was the spacing and then the third it somehow swapped the other way.

“I was not paying attention to the tattoo as I’m soft when it comes to needles and looked away the whole time.”

Tia was refused a refund for the tattoo, which cost about 1.3 million Indonesian Rupiah (around £65).

In the end, she was able to somewhat salvage the tattoo by making it say 'Energy of Angel' instead.
