A young woman was left sobbing on the street after the tattoo design she requested went horribly wrong.
Tia Kabir, 19, flew to Bali from Australia to get ‘angel energy’ inked on her left forearm – but the tattoo artist accidentally wrote ‘energy angel’ instead.
The Only Fans star claims she was completely distraught after seeing the end result, which had been written in thick black font.
‘I came to Bali to get a tattoo and I’ve been dreaming of getting this tattoo,’ she claims as she holds a vape.
Fighting back tears, she said: ‘It’s supposed to say ‘angel energy’, now it just says ‘energy angel’.’
The awful event took place on May 7 and Tia told FEMAIL she wanted ‘Angel Energy’ on her arm to represent the hardship she’s been through in her life.

‘I’ve always wanted something powerful such as Angel Energy on my arm as I believe through everything I have been through to becoming the influencer I am now, I can leave a good spirit imprinted on my body,’ she said.
But despite the positive connotation, the day couldn’t have gone worse and Tia claims she had the tattoo artist revise the stencil three times.
‘The size was incorrect the first time, second was the spacing and then the third it somehow swapped the other way,’ she said.
‘I was not paying attention to the tattoo as I’m soft when it comes to needles and looked away the whole time.’
After seeing the end result, she ‘instantly broke down in tears’ and the staff apologised for the mistake.

The tattoo itself cost her around 1.35million Indonesian Rupiah – about $150 AUD – but she didn’t receive a refund.
Instead the tattoo artist managed to modify the text and it now reads ‘Energy of an Angel’.
Tia insists the situation was ‘real’ after many online accused her of faking the whole thing.
‘My response to this hate is that this is 100 per cent genuine,’ she said.
After just 22 hours Tia’s video of her crying on the side of the road has been viewed more than 2.1million times, with many encouraging her to look on the ‘bright side’.
‘At least it doesn’t say energy angle,’ one wrote in the comments, another said: ‘sending you all my energy you, angel.’
But others weren’t as sympathetic with one person saying: ‘That’s what you get when your budget for your dream tattoo is $20.’
Others questioned whether Tia viewed the stencil before the ink was applied.
‘Surely you would have seen the stencil before he started,’ one pondered, another laughed and said: ‘I am screaming! I’m sorry but you didn’t check the stencil?’

While many laughed, others offered sound advice.
‘Just put ‘protect your’ above it,’ one suggested.
Another added: ‘Get ‘angel’ above it then you’ll become an Angel Energy Angel.. imagine how many crystals you could recharge with that much energy!’
And others recommended removing it completely, though this may prove difficult since the font is thick and wide.
