A TikToker's tattoo may be simple and small, but that's not stopped her branding it the 'ugliest tattoo in the world'.
For some, getting a tattoo is a split second decision made on holiday on a gap year to commemorate how life-changing an experience you've had finding yourself. To others, it's a thought out process which results in an inking with special tribute or meaning.
Either way, some people still end up with some shockers, and one woman from Florida believes she has the worst tattoo over anybody else.

Marie Armstrong - who goes by @marieaarm on TikTok - says she has a tattoo which has resulted in her actually having to hold back tears when she spots it everyday - despite it being small and fairly discreet.
In a video shared to her page in February earlier this year, Armstrong reveals the tattoo is on her index finger and is supposed to be a half-peeled banana.
Initially, she got the tattoo done and everything was fine and dandy. The additional art complimented the other small tattoos she has on her fingers and hands.
But while it did look good after it was just done, the banana went on to fade so Armstrong opted to get it re-done. Something she has done before with her other finger tattoos.
“You could not tell what it was. I didn’t even count it as a tattoo,” Armstrong said of the faded tattoo.
“So when my boyfriend told me he had a tattoo appointment and that he was getting a tattoo done by this artist who’s really good,” she continued, “I was like, I’ll go with you and I’ll get my banana re-done.”
“I show him a picture of right when I got the banana done the first time, and he goes ahead and starts free-handing, like, adding on the rest of the banana to what he can already see and sketching it,” she explained.
“I didn’t really expect him to print [a] stencil because, like, you’d have to size it perfectly,” Armstrong went on. “So I’m like freehand, fine. You’re an artist, like, this is what you do, you know what you’re doing.”
Then came the moment of truth, and I can’t lie, when I saw the finished redone banana I burst out laughing. I’m not quite sure how to describe it, but it doesn’t exactly look like the fruit.
“I look at it, and I am trying to not cry. Like, I know that these are stupid, silly, little, goofy tattoos and maybe to you, like, it doesn’t matter how the f–k they look, but I actually care,” Armstrong said of the finished product.
Now, Armstrong hopes that it fades like it had previously done but in the meantime her social media followers will likely rip into her for having an almost-banana on her finger.
