Getting matching tattoos with a friend is pretty normal, but the final product left one woman distraught in tears, and for very good reason.
When you get a tattoo, it's ideal to know the artist and exactly what you want, since it can be a pretty big decision.
However, TikTok user Anicole, who goes by the username @lanicole001, insisted she did just this... and was still left with a rather unfortunate end product.
She wanted to get the wing of a butterfly on the back of her upper arm, with her friend getting the other half - but instead, it looked like she and her friend just had ‘limp d***s’ tattooed on them for some reason.

In fact, when Anicole came to the realization, she burst into tears and made a video ‘showing off’, (if you can call it that) to her followers.
In the TikTok clip, she captioned the video: “When you try to get cute matching tattoos and you get two limp d*cks instead! #wheninnash #ohno #coverup #tattoo.”
She is also seen holding her head in despair and, yeah... I don’t blame her.
As you can imagine, the video went viral, with over 754,000 likes and many people on social media making jokes.
One person commented: “Who ever did this knew. They knew.”
Another asked: “Is this a prison tattoo?”
With a third adding: “The fact one of you went first...and the other stayed true to the plan," with a laughing emoji.
In a follow-up video, Anicole explained what had happened and how she decided to get it fixed by another artist a few hours later.
In the video, she said: “We don’t blame the artist or the shop, nothing against them. But on the flipside to that, I don’t really think there is anyway the artist didn’t know what it looked like.
“The first picture of it I saw was in the video and I started sobbing, that was me really crying. I cried for probably an hour after I saw the tattoo on my arm.”
She also addressed the speculation that the tattoo was infected, simply explaining that her skin was irritated, as the videos were taken not long after leaving the shop.
Anicole also showed off what her tattoo looked like now that she had got it touched up by someone else, and it actually does look like a butterfly wing.
She even admitted that she is happier with it and will at least now have a good story that she can laugh about in a few years.
