Thai Woman Gets $9 ‘Dandelion Tattoo,’ Immediately Regrets It



By Ryan General
A woman from Sakon Nakhon, Thailand thought she found a great bargain for a tattoo last Sunday when an “artist” offered to ink her a “dandelion” for just 300 Thai Baht ($9).
The client, Alisa Kingkan, however received a tattoo that was completely different.
In her Facebook rant about the disappointing tattoo session, Kingkan wrote that she simply wanted a “beautiful dandelion being blown in the wind” but what she got instead was “a pile of crosses being tossed into the air.”
According to the 26-year-old customer, she came across a tattoo booth while shopping with her sister on Sunday night. A sign at the booth offered a tattoo service which starts at an unbelievably low rate of just 20 Thai baht ($0.60).

“I asked him if he could imitate the dandelion photo, and he said yes … I didn’t get the tattoo just because it was cheap. Who would think it would turn out this way? He has his shop and everything, so I thought he could actually tattoo,” she wrote on her Facebook post.

In an interview with local press, Kingkan said the artist simply told her: “Just look at it as art, it kinda looks similar [to your reference].”
The man reportedly offered to fix her tattoo, but she refused because she was afraid it might end up looking even worse. Instead, she filed a police complaint against her artist and posted images of her tattoo on Facebook as a warning to others.
After the post went viral, many tattoo artists have reportedly reached out to Kingkan offering to help fix her tattoo.
