Why DIY Tattoos Are Never a Good Idea
A new video has surfaced from the entertainment site, Super Deluxe, featuring a DIY tattoo tutorial. You may recognize this source from their previous DIY piercing tutorial as well as the popular online short, Joanne the Scammer. They create short, “Buzzfeed-style” videos, typically within the fashion and beauty realm, and lately, they’ve caused quite a bit of controversy with their content.
The DIY Tattoo tutorial shows viewers step by step how to give themselves an at-home tattoo, however, they don’t seem to grasp that this is a horrible idea. Here are some of our thoughts on this cringe-worthy video.
