Getting a tattoo is supposed to be a thrilling, unforgettable experience. But for influencer Tia Kabir, her long-awaited “dream tattoo” turned into a nightmare she’ll never forget.
Tia flew all the way to Bali, ready to make her vision of “Angel Energy” permanently part of her skin. But instead of walking away with the perfect design, she left in tears – her tattoo now reads “Energy Angel.”

In a tearful TikTok video, Tia explained what happened:
“I’ve been dreaming about this tattoo for so long. I don’t get tattoos all the time, just every few months. This one was so special to me – it was supposed to say ‘Angel Energy,’ but now it just says ‘Energy Angel,'” she sobbed.
The mishap left many viewers scratching their heads. “Surely you would have seen the stencil before he started,” one user commented. Another chimed in, “This is why you always double-check placement and spelling before the needles come out.”
Others offered some advice. “Just tattoo ‘Angel’ above ‘Energy’ and get a skilled artist to fix it,” someone suggested.
Tia later explained to News.com.au how the blunder happened. She brought a design that said “Angel Energy,” but after resizing the stencil, the words somehow flipped. Distracted and excited, she didn’t realize the mistake until it was too late. “It put me into shock,” she admitted.
The good news? Her tattoo is fixable. But her story serves as a cautionary tale: always, always triple-check the design and placement before it becomes permanent.
Tia’s tattoo journey has sparked a lively conversation online, with some sympathizing and others teasing her. One thing’s for sure – this is one tattoo tale she’ll be sharing for years to come.
