Not to mention misspelling a tattoo and not immediately handling that weakness in yourself in some kinda way, to the point that you have at least 3 incidents of misspellings?!?! That’s sooo unacceptable. After the FIRST mistake, you better be TRIPLE checking, looking every word up to make sure you have it right, or having any text vetted by another artist at your shop whose strength is spelling. Or, if none of that is an option, just don’t do text. I had to pick my jaw up off the floor when she said it had already happened a couple times in the past, making this the THIRD TIME SHE PERMANENTLY INKED A MISSPLELLED WORD ONTO A PERSON!!

[@t1dotaku]

The entire time I was thinking: if you don't want to stay in the house just sell it! At least let someone else live there! I WISH my house was gifted to me with a massive check. And I get falling behind with basic house chores but even when I'm at my lowest low I still make sure to take out the trash since letting that sit will just cause way worse problems in the future than whatever I'm currently going through. The whole situation was just someone being gifted a house they weren't ready for or responsible enough to take care of.

[@feliciaspringer2795]

Fr like I literally have maybe I think it’s .90 cents (to last me the month I’ll add) and I’m a single mom of 2 teens and could ABSOLUTELY use a home that I’ll never have. So to see a spoiled brat abuse that beautiful home and then have the nerve to lie and bash that amazing woman, it really pisses me off.

[@miketyson_420]

It was a wonderful thing to do, but I wonder what made her choose an 18 year old with no real responsibility yet. I get being young is hard right now, I’m 20 and I have zero clue what I’m doing or what I’m gonna do- everything’s kinda wrecked and it’s pretty impossible to start from the ground up, so I get it, but why not a hard working family with kids? maybe she said her home situation wasn’t good, but then why did she run right back? I was expecting it to go to a family, honestly, not a single 18 year old. still, an act of kindness is an act of kindness, and Shay is still the one in the wrong. I really wanna know more about the situation to make a clearer judgement. I neeeeed a follow up 😂

[@Nolen_Sorento]

So did shay ever have ownership of the house? Or was she just a tenant with free rent?

[@missdenisebee]

I have NO idea how or why Demi chose a teenager as the winner of her free house, but someday when Shay’s older & genuinely ready to be a homeowner, she’s going to realize how badly she effed up…she had a wholeass free house & just walked away from it😭

[@amicaaranearum]

It may be more complicated than it seems. If Demi’s giveaway was treated as a contest, the value of the free house would have been imputed to the winner as income. An 18-year-old with no ties to the area and no job wouldn’t be able to afford income taxes on that. I’m not excusing the girl’s bad behavior, but it doesn’t surprise me that she would crash there for a month, leave the place a mess, and move back to where her home was. The outcome likely would have been better if Demi had picked someone who was more established in life and local to the area.

[@earwig763]

i experienced homelessness as a child and will most likely never be able to afford a house, so hearing about that 18yo who destroyed that home genuinely made the sympathy leave my body

[@Thelastunicornlover]

[@nia_luvv]

Real ong

[@Jane-oz7pp]

Same but the sympathy didn't leave my body. Most 18 year olds aren't ready to own a house, nor to move a long way from home. That's a lot of responsibility, and at 18 you're still not quite there most of the time. Being young, this would have also been extremely embarassing for her to try and deal with appropriately, and is a situation that MOST people would struggle to resolve properly. There's a reason they say that houses and cars are burdens not gifts. It's more tragedy than crime and I hope she does better if she gets another chance at building herself a home like that.

[@Ketaminogue]

⁠@@Jane-oz7ppbut then why enter? Why try and get people to harass the organisation that gave away the house? Yeah being 18 might mean they’re unaware of the demands of home ownership but it sure as hell doesn’t mean that she’s too young not to go online and be a complete idiot.

Just speculation but she likely had a pretty secure living situation abd wanted to just sell the property since she didn't need the property as much as she wanted the potential money (which to be fair if circumstances were different could be super valid) but since it wasn't as easy as a large check just partied in the place and let it lay to waste.

At the studio where I get my tattoos, you sign a waiver including a clause saying the artist takes no responsibility for the spelling or meaning of the tattoos. That part seems fair, but I don’t understand why this “artist” decided to start this drama herself 💀

[@RaspBerryPies]

Yeah for real that’s my one issue with this video. As someone with a lot of tattoos who still gets nervous before appointments it is still 100% on me where the tattoo is, what it is, if it’s spelled correctly. If I have an issue with it in any way then I need to speak up the artist can’t read my mind. The example this person used would be better said if it was a Chefs responsibility that each customer knows there is meat in the product. It should be something the customer should look at and confirm for themselves. Also like I said I get being nervous but it is literally your choice to be doing this. It’s not like a doctors appointment this is an active choice you are making for yourself you need to go in there knowing what you want and being able to articulate it. If you can’t then bring someone with you who can. This artist sucks tho but yeah I agree that it is not the artist fault especially if you show them the word they write it down and show you. Like literally what other steps are there to take? You said it’s what you want.

[@Mothcat.]

I think that is a good way to protect the artist when it is the clients fault for misspelling. This “artist” sucks, I don’t want to refer to her as a creator of art because she mutilated her client.

[@emergencyasmr]

Yes that’s the norm for tattoo studios so it really does fall on the client to make sure that the spelling is correct, know the meaning of a different language etc. They have more time to think about and plan what they want and the artist is there to tattoo it. Even someone getting a spur of the moment tattoo needs to make sure it’s exactly what they want because it’s there forever I can’t believe that the artist was the one to start this and was shown to be disingenuous. Like, why on earth would that girl have *typed* all that and then turn her phone to show the artist like she’s trying to now claim in her video??

It looks like she cut her with a knife. I’ve never seen a tattoo look like that.

[@sleepysystem]

@@BlueGangsta1958 which is actually really really common... bc theres a racist myth that dark skinned (espec black) ppl have thicker skin than lighter and especially white ppl, so you *have* to go deeper and actually scar the skin to get the ink to stay. which is not only bullshit that affects the tattoo industry but also the medical field (the idea of "thicker skin" is used to say that darker skin prevents you from feelign pain as deeply and therefore can be used to excuse excessive rough handling or denial of painkillers by doctors, under the idea that dark skinned patients are lying or exaggerating to get drugs or out of some personal grudge with the doctor... this is why black women have a much higher mortality rate when giving birth)

[@DaughterofDiogenes]

I just listened to an npr report about that exact “fact” of black skin. They researched to figure out where it came from and it turns out it was a dude along time ago who didn’t do any actual scientific research. So Black skin isn’t necessarily more prone to keloids. But it’s been used as an excuse to give subpar care and aftercare forever since. It was very informative. Basically there are a lot of race based diagnosis that shouldn’t be considered as race based.

[@sleepysystem]

@@DaughterofDiogenes i left a comment here that got snapped by the youtube automod for some reason but it's likely it's perceived as more common for black skin to keloid because of a much older idea that black skin is "thicker" and therefore more tolerant of pain and rough treatment, which leads to ppl actually beign rougher with black ppl when givign medical treatment or, in this case, tattooing. this idea that black skin is thicker and that black ppl's nerves are less sensitive means ppl ignore black pain and scar ppl up when tattooing, piercing, or givign medical treatment. in medical settings this leads to higher mortality rates a lot of the time.

Yeah. And even if it WERE a real movie, what actor is gonna turn down a lead role in a Disney film just because their skin or hair is the "wrong color"? What kind of a backwards world is that? I genuinely think actors of any race should be allowed to play any role unless it's a story like (as was mentioned in the video) Hunchback of Notre Dame where ethnicity/culture plays a significant role. If we're being honest, the majority of stories are not about racial tension and the cast's races could be easily swapped. Especially in fantasy/sci-fi settings that are detached from our own world and history. The fact that people care so much about this stuff just boggles my mind.

"But they are white either way!!!!1!1!11" and still don't have the same culture? But you did not throw a fit about that did you ? The little mermaid being white or black doesn't add anything or remove anything to the story. Was the remake lazy? Yes Was it different from the animated one?

[@leileyaravencroft]

There are Amish who do use technology and as far as I am aware they claim to be Amish not Mennonites. Don’t get me wrong, I am not talking that the entire community will have tv sets and electricity. It’s usually just a singular phone (a cell phone is more common) and/or a single car. Another thing that the Amish have done but is not super common, is that they will take their loved ones to the hospital. There are core beliefs but some Amish and Mennonite people will have a little variation of certain tenements. The phone and car was specifically only for the most dire of emergencies. In the case of one community both were obtained because a beloved member had passed from an accident that could have been remedied if they had either. So the Elders got both but both things were kept by the elders. As for the hospital, the majority won’t. But there has been cases where they have. In particular a case of an Amish man who suffered from a horrible mental illness. At first the Elders tried to say he was not allowed to go to the hospital but they changed their minds after he became violent. He acquired the medication that he needed but eventually stopped taking it. He did a horrible thing because of it

I got words tattooed on me recently and my tattoo artist literally checked it a thousand times before putting it on my body. She let me check it as many times as I needed. She wasn’t putting it on me until we both double triple quadruple checked. You need to have pride in your work, and that includes checking spelling

Tattoos shouldn’t be that deep into the skin, that woman’s arm got mutilated. She has every right to be that upset.

@@Mikey-jv5fv Right, but that's what I'm saying. The artist likely thought she had to and that's what caused the issue with the splitting. Yes the tattoo is poorly done, but the client still chose to go the her, even though she had every opportunity to do research on the artist beforehand. Her own choices are her own fault.

[@waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa9739]

Apprentice here, I think what happened is that since they both kinda panicked, the client most likely went back to get the tattoo fixed while it was still healing, which resulted in unnecessary trauma and possibly infection. That looks like every infected tat I've seen. With that being said, the whole story is just so messy. When you're a tattoo artist, you're bound to make mistakes from time to time, and you absolutely have to learn how to own up to it and sort it out privately with the client. Turning everything into drama and clout will ruin your reputation and kill your career 100%. If I was in her place, I would have covered the client's medication to bring down the infection, refunded the misspelled tattoo and considered the lesson learned. Even if the client's behavior wasn't the best either, tbh it doesn't even matter that much anymore since they're not going back to you anyway.

My best guess with the 18 year old person who won a free house probably threw a house party or did a dumbass streak of “It’s mine to destroy.” I’d have said it could have been the homeless who broke in or potentially squatters, but I’m assuming that’s unlikely since the original homeowner seemed to be keeping an eye on the property so that would rule out squatters especially since there didn’t seem to be much stuff

[@jonnyblack13]

I think if you know you struggle with spelling and your job is to permanently etch words into someone's skin, you should have a person you know can spell and read well double or triple checking your line art, whether it's someone else actively at the shop or someone you just shoot a text message to. You can't really just assume that your client isn't also going to be distracted or doesn't have any any issues with reading or spelling.

Then on top of that trying to ruin the reputation of the person who gave you the house & kept you packages safe. If she was unable to stay at the home she should have just reached out to Demi & gave her the house back or gave it to someone who would actually live in it.

It also upset me too when someone is perfectly capable of doing something such as cleaning but then acts like they can't.

[@kirikakirikakirika]

Not for nothing, but in the original Victor Hugo novel, Esmeralda was actually Agnès. Esmeralda was her stage name. She was white, born to a white French woman, but the mother died in labour and the midwife, a Romani woman, adopted her. The impact of the story is very much the same, though. She was looked down on and mistreated because she was poor, raised by "outsiders", and French citizens believed her to be a witch because she "seduced men" and knew "gypsy magic". In the Disney movie, for some reason they swapped Esmeralda's story with Quasimodo's. It's not explicitly stated, but one of the writers at the time, Irene Mecchi, said Quasi is white because he was born to a French woman, and that the Romani woman who sacrificed herself for him at the beginning of the movie wasn't his biological mother, but the midwife who adopted him.

[@sanzibal4167]

That is Esmeralda's story from the 1956 movie by Jean Delannoy. In the original she was kidnapped by Romani and they left Quasimodo in her place. At the end of the book Esmeralda finds that her mother is Sister Gudule who hates Romani because they eat her baby. Happiness is short because Esmeralda runs after Phoebus but gets captured by an angry mob and her mother falls and hits her head and dies.

I don’t think either side is completely innocent, but the artist painting her as aggressively yelling and then admitting she just typed it on her phone is insane.

The funniest part of the whole Rapunzel drama is that if we want to really get into the nitty gritty, the fairy tale isn't even originally German. It's Italian. The Grimm brothers reworked a French fairy tale into Rapunzel, and the French was itself a reworking of the Italian story of Petrosinella

[@josieerin505]

Yes!!

[@snazzypazzy]

And Germany as a seperate clear nationstate is a very modern concept as well. The borders have moved *a lot* around there. According to wikipedia the story may even have it's origins in the proto-Indian-European era, and there's also this: "The earliest surviving reference to a female character with long hair that she offers to a male lover to climb like a ladder appears in the Persian epic poem Shahnameh, written by Ferdowsi between c. 977 and 1010 CE.[22] The heroine of the story, Rudāba, offers her hair so that her love interest Zāl may enter the harem where she lives. Zāl states instead that she should lower a rope so that she will not hurt herself.[22]" I would love to see this film btw. Seems quite interesting.

There's actually A LOT more to the tattoo story, it turns out that the tattoo artist was actually quite racist toward the client. I do think that in general tattoo spelling is more the responsibility of the client than the artist, BUT given everything else that came out about what happened, I am 100% on the client's side in this scenario - ultimately the misspelling ended up being the least important thing about this story. I recommend Treacle Tatt's video about it, she went really in depth covering the whole thing and about racism in the tattoo industry in general.
