'I paid for a cute butterfly tattoo on my hand - it's so bad I need it covered'

A woman was gutted after paying to get a cute butterfly tattoo on her hand - as it was so bad that now she wants it covered up.

TikTok star Lauren, 21, shared a video of what she wanted on social media, and it shows delicately drawn butterflies floating from the fingers up to the wrist.

That's what Lauren wanted, but she got something else entirely - as the inking on her hand look more like a UFO or a badly tied bow.

Now Lauren's video has had over a million views on TikTok as people were aghast at the inking, with thick outlines and next to no shading or detail.

What do you think about Lauren's tattoo? Let us know in the comments...

Lauren, who uploads to TikTok as laurenxo23, captioned her video: "It’s ok, only on my skin for life, right?"

Then added that a "cover-up is needed."

Lauren explained: "I got the tattoo almost two years ago guys I have been wanting a cover-up for a long time it’s just finding the time and the right place to do so."

Alongside the million views, Lauren also got thousands of comments from social media users who offered their advice.

One person wrote: "Didn’t you see the stencil beforehand?"

Then another wrote: "I don't know if I should get mad for you or just cry for you."

But not everyone hated the tattoo, as some said that with a little effort it would be possible to fix the design.

One wrote: "I think it’s cute! Very different from the others but unique & simple like a old vintage look to it lol."

And a second added: "I think it looks really nice just needs some detail."
