When Sarah, a mother of three
decided to have the names of her two daughters tattooed across her breasts she
was hoping for a lasting memory of their birth.
Unfortunately for her, she
ended up with a pair of botched inkings – which not only damaged her skin but
also proved nearly impossible to read. Read more
The 28-year-old, who appears on
the latest edition of the Spike TV show Tattoo Disasters, revealed on the show
that she fell victim to an inexperienced tattooist when having daughters’ names
Jasmine and Megan etched across her breasts.
And she admitted the poor
result had left her ‘devastated’ – largely due to the sentimental value
attached to the tattoos, which were meant to represent where each of her
daughters had been placed after being born.
I’ve had tattoos from that shop
before so I was pretty confident I was OK,’ Sarah recalled, despite being faced
with a tattooist whom she said ‘looked like a teenager’ – but things swiftly
went downhill from there.
‘I showed her what I wanted and
then she put some tracing paper on,’ she explained, ‘but she didn’t put the
dates of birth on the tracing paper, which she should have done and she
freehanded it afterwards.
‘Two weeks into the healing
process it looked horrendous. I went back and that’s when I was told the
tattooist wasn’t fully qualified.
Sarah added: ‘You can’t make
out what it says, they’re not even level for a start. I was devastated because
obviously there’s a reason behind them, it’s a memory and it’s been tarnished.’
Despite the sentimentality
attached, the show ultimately sees her having the disastrous tattoos lasered
off – and replaced with a far more successful tattoo on her back, which also
incorporates the name of her son Jake.
‘It’s a nice end to an
emotional rollercoaster of a day,’ she said of the revamped tattoo. ‘And I’m
happy I’ve had it done…I feel amazing.’
