Woman mortified after realising £7 tattoo she got on holiday looks like car logo

Tattooing is an intricate art form, meaning even the most well-thought-out designs can sometimes go awry. But one woman whose ink turned out exactly like she had intended, might have wished otherwise, as people suggested she should have picked a different design.

The holidaymaker reportedly spent $8 (£6.76) on the delicate tattoo during a trip to India. But people were convinced the design looked like a popular car logo - to the amusement on many. The tourist showed off her tattoo in a video posted to TikTok as @hannahware180. And it was quickly inundated with comments pointing out the similarity.

Hannah opted for a simple pattern, featuring four dots and two arrows, which reminded people of Citroën's logo.

Fortunately, Hannah saw the funny side of things. Replying to a commenter who joked: "When you work at Citroën," she quipped: "Dedicated employee."

However, that is not to say she was always impressed with the "cheap" tattoo, as she dubbed it.

Her video was posted with the onscreen caption: "My tattoo fail in India."

And the clip revealed Hannah's dismay that the design, which she was initially proud to show off, reportedly started to fade after just three weeks.

"At least it was only $8," her caption added.

While one commenter tried to tell Hannah the process was "normal" for Henna, she clarified: "This isn't henna."

But several others also said fading is common for feet tattoos. "Feet and hand tattoos always fade, they require touch up a few times," someone reassured Hannah. And she told commenters she now understood what she thought had gone wrong and that she plans to get a touch up.
