Woman storms out tattoo appointment after artist's 'inappropriate' body comments

A woman had the "worst tattoo experience of her life" and walked out halfway through the appointment after the artist made "inappropriate" comments about her body.

Talking about her experience in a Tik Tok video, Dalina explained that she was approached by the male tattoo artist at the gym after he spotted her inkings.

She then gave him her contact details and looked him up on social media, according to the Mirror.

Dalina was impressed with his work and decided to book in an appointment for him to tattoo a large piece on her stomach that she had been planning for a while.

But when she arrived and took off her t-shirt, the bloke began criticising her body for being "unsymmetrical" - before going as far as saying he can "see why" she goes to the gym because she has "back rolls".

In the video, which was posted under the username @senoracabrona, she said: "I don't know if I'm being dramatic or not, I just left in the middle of getting my tattoo, like in the middle of my appointment. I just, I got up and I paid him and I left.

"I met this guy at the gym and he approached me specifically because of my tattoos and he was like, 'oh, I do tattoos' and he gave me his card and we exchanged information.

"Then I looked him up and I liked his work and I had a tattoo that I wanted to get done all over my stomach, like I want to get blasted.

"Naturally, I come to the [parlour] and he has me take off my shirt. I have my pasties. I'm literally just there without a shirt. I had my nipple pasties on, literally, just my nipples are covered.

"And he just starts talking about how unsymmetrical I was, he started calling my boobs, t*ts. But the last straw [was when] I turned around and he goes, 'oh, I get why I see you in the gym all the time. You got back rolls'."

Dalina described the ordeal as the "worst tattoo experience" of her life and said she had "had a panic attack" in her car after leaving the appointment.

The woman's video has received over 15 million views, and people have shared in her outrage at how "inappropriate" and "unacceptable" the tattoo artist's comments were.

One person said: "I am so sorry this happened to you. My jaw dropped. You are stunning. So inappropriate."

While another added: "As a man, I’m sorry for him. That is completely unacceptable."

And a third posted: "Wow!! I get it some men are more blunt than women but that man was absolutely disrespectful towards you, sorry that happened to you."
