Tattoo Artist Sparks Laughter with Client’s Hilarious Ink Mistake
People have been left in stitches after a tattoo artist proudly showcased a client’s new tattoo on TikTok. Paul Baxter, hailing from Wolverhampton, shared one of his latest creations on the popular platform, but it seems that the clip has become a viral sensation for all the wrong reasons.
In the video, the talented tattoo artist begins by holding up a piece of paper featuring the design the client had in mind, alongside a stencil that was placed at the back of his neck. The black and white tattoo depicted a blonde female seductively sucking on her index finger, accompanied by a snake with its jaw wide open and its tongue sticking out.
While Paul was thrilled with the final result and showcased the before-and-after transformation of a client who already had various tattoos, there was one detail that seemed to have slipped his mind. Hundreds of amused social media users flocked to the comments section of the clip—viewed nearly 510,000 times in just one day—to point out the epic blunder.
Eagle-eyed TikTok fans quickly noticed that the printed image had three small dots on the right side, which, when clicked on a phone, would typically provide options like sharing or deleting. It appears that the client assumed Paul wouldn’t incorporate this particular element into the final tattoo, but the tattoo artist may have completely overlooked this tiny yet embarrassing detail.
- “Help, not you including three dots from the screenshot on the tattoo,” one viewer humorously commented, earning over 4,000 likes.
- “No way he included the three dots to share the image,” another commenter expressed disbelief.
- “The good thing is, he can’t see it,” someone else joked.
- “I’m gonna lie – it looks great!” a fourth viewer chimed in, while another critic referred to the neck tattoo as a “red flag.”
However, not everyone was critical of Paul; some viewers defended the tattoo, stating that he had nailed the design despite it not being their personal preference. “To be fair, the drawing is exactly how it was in the stencil; I think the client is to blame for having that idea,” one user pointed out.
As for Paul, who frequently showcases his impressive work on his TikTok page, he has yet to respond to the wave of criticism online.
Which Tattoos Hurt the Most?
The pain level associated with tattoos can vary significantly depending on the area of the body being inked. Some regions are known to be particularly sensitive due to thinner skin or proximity to bones. Below are some of the most painful areas for tattooing:
- Ribcage: The skin is thin, with minimal muscle and a high concentration of nerve endings.
- Feet and Ankles: These areas contain numerous bones, tendons, and nerve endings situated close to the surface.
- Hands and Fingers: Similar to feet, these areas are filled with bones and tendons, resulting in heightened pain during tattooing, especially on the knuckles.
- Spine: The proximity of the spinal cord and numerous nerve endings makes this area particularly sensitive.
- Knees and Elbows: Thin skin with little padding between the surface and underlying bones can make these areas quite painful.
- Armpits and Groin: These regions have a high concentration of nerve endings and lymph nodes, contributing to increased sensitivity.
- Neck and Throat: With thin, sensitive skin and many nerve endings close to the surface, this area is also known for its pain level.

How Much Does It Cost to Remove a Tattoo?
The cost of tattoo removal can vary widely based on factors such as the size, complexity, and color of the tattoo, as well as the number of sessions required. Prices typically range from around £30 to £250 per session.
Laser tattoo removal employs focused light pulses to heat and break apart tattoo ink particles, allowing the body’s immune system to gradually eliminate them, resulting in the tattoo fading or being completely removed. It often takes multiple laser therapy sessions to achieve the desired results.
