Video of woman getting tattoo of 152 Facebook friends a hoax
UPDATE: Never trust a tattoo artist, especially a good-looking one. The tattoo video turned out to be an advertising stunt.
A Dutch publication has the details, but to make a short story even shorter, the “artist” says ”It is a try out tattoo, a transfer, that washes off in a couple of days. It took a couple of hours to apply the transfer not the 30 hours the video claimed to produce the real tattoo.”
Here’s the original story, all of 24 hours old …
The unholy alchemy of Facebook and tattoos has produced unfortunate results in the past, such as when rapper T-Pain got a “like” button permanently etched into his skin, but there’s a video popping up on Ye Olde Internets that, for the sake of humanity, I hope is fake.
Why don't tattoo artists look like this in Atlanta?
In the video, a woman claims to be getting a tattoo of her 152 Facebook friends’ faces on her arm.
There’s no accompanying article to verify who this person is or where she lives, but the YouTube video was posted by Susy87 from the Netherlands.
“After months of work I want to show you all my social Tattoo. Pretty amazing right? I’m really proud of it. Hope you like it too!” she says on YouTube.
I’d press the “unlike” button if there was one.

I would hope all 152 “friends” are planning on dropping her once they realize how retarded she is…no offense to mentally retarded people. They are undoubtedly smarter than this idiot.

It will be hilarious when she gets unfriended by some of these people.

What if one of her friends decides to shun her….does remove the tattoo? I don’t have any tattoos, but everyone I know that does tries to modify, hide or remove them particularly if they got them early in life. My nephew has them over his chest, shoulders and top of arms (above the sleeve line). He’s been discriminated against in job interviews because there was one visible at the neckline. I just say no, don’t do it.

What a foolish women. All of this trashy tattooing is nothing more than a great lie by satan to mark your bodies. GOD said NOT to mark your body.” You shall not make any cuts in your body for the dead nor make any tattoo marks on yourselves: I am the LORD Lev.19:28 new american standard bible. Please pass this word of GOD on.

it’s called art, people… no one knows this woman’s story or how important her friends may be to her. It probably did exactly what she hoped: attention and debate.. but foremost: acknowledgment of her friends.Of course she could be plain nutz…. i n i no judge

people with tattoo’s are idiots? retarded? trashy? HMMMMM I wonder what it says in your bible about judgemental, egotistical, omnipitent, whiners??? tatting 152 postage size portraits is quite a talent. i can get botox, fake nails, a wig, tummy tuck, vaginal rejuvination, and anal bleeching. but GOD forbid i get a tattoo! you all need to read a one page reading called DESIDERATA Max Ehrmann,1927.
