A HARRY STYLES fan was left stunned when a tattoo artist decided to put a unique spin on her tattoo tribute to the pop star.
Angela was hoping for a pretty simple inking of a fish inside a coffee pot, inspired by Styles’ Adore You Music Video.
However, she ended up sobbing when she spotted the ‘awful’ finished product – and now people are suggesting the tattooist ‘dropped the ball hard’.
She said: “I’m getting Harry Styles tattoo covered up tomorrow and have genuinely never been more excited about anything in my life.
“And before you come for me, please, please wait, please hear me out.
“This is nothing to do with Harry. I adore that man.

“But this has everything to do with a horrible experience that I had with one specific artist and the fact that I think this is the ugliest tattoo that I’ve ever seen.
“I’m so ashamed to admit that it was ever on my body in the first place.”
The Harry Styles fan went on to explain the design she was hoping to get, made up of a fish inside a coffee pot, inspired by a moment from the artist’s Adore You music video.
After finding a local tattooist, she sent them grabs from the music video and images of the specific type of coffee pot she wanted.

She also shared pictures of a North African Jewelfish, the type of fish seen in the music video.
She continued: “So I emailed her this and a picture of a coffee pot, and I basically explained not the colors, not the polka dots.
“Just more or less that shape of fish in a coffee pot. and she was like, ‘yeah, no problem’.”
However, Angela reveals that there were various problems – the first being that the sketch wasn’t finished when she showed up for her appointment.
She added: So I show up, and immediately, red flag number one is that the sketch is not in black and gray with shading like I asked.
“It was blue and red and half done. It wasn’t finished.
“Second red flag is that it was not at all when I asked for.
“And when I very nicely asked her to make a change to better reflect my reference photo, she started arguing with me.
“She was like, ‘that’s not what you sent me’.”
The content creator went on to explain that the tattoo artist did change the design but didn’t run it past her before starting.
Sadly, this meant she was left stunned when she spotted the finished product in the mirror.
Instead of a simplistic fish outline, Angela was left with a cartoon-style animal with big eyes staring straight back at her.
She said: “Here’s the reveal. This is what I’ve had to live with on my body for the last year of my life.
“I think now you’ll understand why I was sobbing in the car.
“What is this?”
Below the video, she added: “I’ve had this thing for a year and in that time I’ve told maybe 4 people that it even exists because of how awful it is so please be gentle.”
Her tattoo fail attracted plenty of attention online, with her reveal gaining more than 327,800 likes and 2.2 million views.
Known online as @only_angel.a, the 25-year-old regularly shares ife updates and fan videos of her favourite music artist.
In the comments, TikTokkers shared their reactions, with one writing: “NOTHING COULD PREPARE ME FOR HOW BAD THAT IS.”
“I GASPED,” commented another.
A third added: “Bro I kept telling myself “it can’t be that bad” but damnnnnnnnn.”
Someone else put: “If anyone finds my jaw on the ground plz let me know.”
One other shared: “GIRL OMG IM SO SORRY. The concept is SUPER cute tho and I’m so sorry the artist dropped the ball HARD.”
