Tattoo Etiquette: Ariel DeJesus | Part 3

  • Not Synced
    Hello my darlings. I hope you're doing
  • Not Synced
    very very well. I hope you're
  • Not Synced
    sitting comfortably and you are
  • Not Synced
    cozy, you have your snacks and
  • Not Synced
    your beverages ready. Trust me,
  • Not Synced
    you're gonna need some kind
  • Not Synced
    of support, blanket, or snack, or
  • Not Synced
    something, I don't know. Because
  • Not Synced
    I will be talking about Ariel DeJesus
  • Not Synced
    yet again today. In February and March
  • Not Synced
    of this year, I believe, I did a two-part
  • Not Synced
    video covering everything that Ariel
  • Not Synced
    DeJesus has done. If you haven't
  • Not Synced
    seen those videos, I will leave a link
  • Not Synced
    down below. But it gives you a whole
  • Not Synced
    backstory as to who Ariel DeJesus
  • Not Synced
    is and what she has done. But a
  • Not Synced
    quick, brief, recap of what I said
  • Not Synced
    in those two videos is that, one,
  • Not Synced
    Ariel DeJesus is a tattoo artist in
  • Not Synced
    Fort Worth Texas. She owns her own
  • Not Synced
    tattoo studio called Blindfold Tattoos.
  • Not Synced
    She also does this thing called blindfold
  • Not Synced
    tattoos where she gets her clients to
  • Not Synced
    pick three things. So for example,
  • Not Synced
    a rose, a pocket watch, and a lion,
  • Not Synced
    and then she will make a tattoo out
  • Not Synced
    of those three things and the client
  • Not Synced
    will wear a blindfold and will not see
  • Not Synced
    the end result until the tattoo has
  • Not Synced
    finished and then they take the blindfold
  • Not Synced
    off and it's a whole reveal process.
  • Not Synced
    She got a lot of popularity on TikTok
  • Not Synced
    for doing something like this. She
  • Not Synced
    uploads very very regularly as well.
  • Not Synced
    She gets called out a lot on TikTok
  • Not Synced
    by fellow tattoo enthusiasts and
  • Not Synced
    tattoo artists. That's how you know
  • Not Synced
    you're in the crap. When other tattoo
  • Not Synced
    artists are calling you out, ok?
  • Not Synced
    She's very problematic when it comes
  • Not Synced
    to hygeine and cleanliness. She has
  • Not Synced
    also left her 12 year old daughter, ok,
  • Not Synced
    12 years old, she left her 12 year old
  • Not Synced
    daughter in her tattoo studio to tattoo
  • Not Synced
    a client while she just went off and did
  • Not Synced
    something out of the studio. Ariel
  • Not Synced
    is known for doing very very very very
  • Not Synced
    very quick tattoos. And she brags about
  • Not Synced
    it like it's a good thing. She'll make
  • Not Synced
    TikToks saying, "I did this tattoo in
  • Not Synced
    under an hour". We can tell. She has
  • Not Synced
    stolen artwork and claimed it as her own
  • Not Synced
    many many many many times.
  • Not Synced
    She also insists on
  • Not Synced
    doing problematic autism tattoos.
  • Not Synced
    Even though a large amount of people have
  • Not Synced
    come forward and said, this symbol,
  • Not Synced
    which is the puzzle piece, is incredibly
  • Not Synced
    problematic. But she just carries on
  • Not Synced
    doing it. It's actually been a while
  • Not Synced
    since I've even thought about Ariel to
  • Not Synced
    be honest with you. I thought her
  • Not Synced
    popularity may have died down. She may
  • Not Synced
    not even be uploading content that much
  • Not Synced
    anymore. Cuz I hadn't seen anything about
  • Not Synced
    her in a very long time. And until one of
  • Not Synced
    her actual TikToks popped up on my
  • Not Synced
    For You page. And let me tell you, I was
  • Not Synced
    incredibly confused at first. Because
  • Not Synced
    I thought it was someone that I follow
  • Not Synced
    stitching one of her TikToks to like
  • Not Synced
    roast her or something. But oh no,
  • Not Synced
    it was the Ariel. So this prompted me
  • Not Synced
    to have a quick look through her page
  • Not Synced
    to see what she's been up to recently.
  • Not Synced
    Curiosity got the better of me, ok?
  • Not Synced
    Like, I couldn't help myself. So let me
  • Not Synced
    show you the TikTok that come up on my
  • Not Synced
    For You page. The audacity for this to
  • Not Synced
    infiltrate my usual dogs and chicken
  • Not Synced
    tender content, oh boy. It's a TikTok
  • Not Synced
    showing a lower stomach tattoo. Ok, that.
  • Not Synced
    Oh boy. Ariel said that she did in 50
  • Not Synced
    minutes. 50 whole minutes. The caption of
  • Not Synced
    this TikTok says, "I know I get a lot of
  • Not Synced
    hate for doing my tattoos quickly. A lottt
  • Not Synced
    of people like the fact that I am fast.
  • Not Synced
    Not everyone likes the pain from needles.
  • Not Synced
    But instead wants to cover scars. It was
  • Not Synced
    an absolute honor. Email me at her email
  • Not Synced
    address. I am located in Fort Worth Texas"
  • Not Synced
    Ohhhhh to do something this intricate,
  • Not Synced
    in my opinion, should take a days session.
  • Not Synced
    Or over multiple sessions. So you do
  • Not Synced
    the base of it, and then you do the
  • Not Synced
    fiddly little details the second session.
  • Not Synced
    If the person cannot handle the pain.
  • Not Synced
    Which is completely fine. Tattoos hurt.
  • Not Synced
    Not everyone can sit for a long period of
  • Not Synced
    time, I'm very aware. I'm sure the
  • Not Synced
    majority of you are very aware. Because
  • Not Synced
    trying to get all of that done. That's
  • Not Synced
    a large amount of space covered there.
  • Not Synced
    The mistakes in this
  • Not Synced
    tattoo are so loud. That's all I can
  • Not Synced
    see. I cannot see the potential of this
  • Not Synced
    tattoo or anything like that. I think
  • Not Synced
    the majority of you can point out
  • Not Synced
    at least 10 mistakes and you probably
  • Not Synced
    have a normal life, unlike me. You know,
  • Not Synced
    you don't spend hours and hours and hours
  • Not Synced
    a day staring at tattoos. But I do. It
  • Not Synced
    probably doesn't take a, I'm not trained,
  • Not Synced
    but it doesn't take a trained eye to see
  • Not Synced
    these mistakes. This seems like it's such
  • Not Synced
    a meaningful tattoo to the client and
  • Not Synced
    Ariel had the audacity to rush through
  • Not Synced
    this tattoo and have absolutely no care
  • Not Synced
    about the final result. You cannot tell me
  • Not Synced
    that you can look at that and be proud
  • Not Synced
    of what you have done. This isn't what
  • Not Synced
    being a tattoo artist is about. As a
  • Not Synced
    tattoo artist, you should care about
  • Not Synced
    what you do. You should put your every
  • Not Synced
    bit of effort into it. You have to care
  • Not Synced
    about your clients and their body. They
  • Not Synced
    carry this bit of art for life. Tattooing
  • Not Synced
    is not erased by any means. You do
  • Not Synced
    not get an award for being a quick tattoo
  • Not Synced
    artist. Of course, there are tattoo
  • Not Synced
    artists that are quicker than others.
  • Not Synced
    I'm fully aware. I've been tattooed by
  • Not Synced
    artists that take their time for whatever
  • Not Synced
    reason and I've been tattooed by artists
  • Not Synced
    that are a little bit. quicker. That being
  • Not Synced
    said, the end result always looks
  • Not Synced
    amazing. It doesn't look rushed I honestly
  • Not Synced
    do not thing that there is one smooth
  • Not Synced
    line in this whole tattoo. I don't think
  • Not Synced
    anything is symmetrical at all. With this
  • Not Synced
    style of tattoo, it relies heavily on this
  • Not Synced
    types to make it look good. If you don't
  • Not Synced
    have the symmetry, if you don't have the
  • Not Synced
    smooth line work, your tattoo is
  • Not Synced
    screwed. What is shocking to
  • Not Synced
    me is that there is absolutely no negative
  • Not Synced
    or constructive criticism comments on
  • Not Synced
    this post. Not one. Ariel polices her
  • Not Synced
    comments so dang bad. We've learned
  • Not Synced
    this from the previous videos that I had
  • Not Synced
    done on her. She makes it so dang
  • Not Synced
    obvious that she deletes comments
  • Not Synced
    because the majority of her posts have
  • Not Synced
    nothing but positive ones. And I get it.
  • Not Synced
    You might not want negativity on your
  • Not Synced
    page. You know, it can be harmful to some.
  • Not Synced
    But it's the fact that she hides from it
  • Not Synced
    so dang much. The next TikTok we're
  • Not Synced
    gonna look at has this thumbnail that
  • Not Synced
    says: "Ariel get's so much hate. Why do
  • Not Synced
    you still book in with her?". That is
  • Not Synced
    such a good question. Ok cool, what
  • Not Synced
    are the three subjects that you chose?
  • Not Synced
    I chose florals, clocks, and music. Floral
  • Not Synced
    clocks, music. Where are you gonna put it?
  • Not Synced
    Here, on my arm. Tight Tight!
  • Not Synced
    TikTok, I know you said you've been
  • Not Synced
    following me for a while.
  • Not Synced
    I follow you on both.
  • Not Synced
    Do you see the hate I get on TikTok?
  • Not Synced
    Sometimes, yes. So how come you see
  • Not Synced
    all the hate on TikTok but then you still
  • Not Synced
    come and get a big ass $200 blindfold
  • Not Synced
    tattoo?
  • Not Synced
    Why would you do that? Why would you
  • Not Synced
    do such a thing? You silly goober! I have
  • Not Synced
    my own opinion. Laughs. Cuz she has her
  • Not Synced
    own opinion. I mean, I won't argue with
  • Not Synced
    that. Your body, your choice. And all of
  • Not Synced
    that. I mean, you wouldn't catch me
  • Not Synced
    getting by a hateful, neglectful tattoo
  • Not Synced
    artist, but, that's just me. Here's the
  • Not Synced
    end result.
  • Not Synced
    It's ok. Is it the worst
  • Not Synced
    tattoo I've ever seen? Absolutely not. Is
  • Not Synced
    it the best tattoo I've ever seen? Also,
  • Not Synced
    absolutely not. This comment made me do
  • Not Synced
    a wee chuckle. And it says, "Isn't the 9
  • Not Synced
    missing? And the lines on the ridge of the
  • Not Synced
    clock near the three were forgotten.
  • Not Synced
    And if we take a closer look, this person
  • Not Synced
    is correct. Even though there is a
  • Not Synced
    butterfly wing where the 9 would be,
  • Not Synced
    you would still see some of it. Just
  • Not Synced
    even just the hint of the number or the
  • Not Synced
    Roman numeral, right? Even so, if that's
  • Not Synced
    not the case, the comment is correct
  • Not Synced
    because the lines by the three have
  • Not Synced
    completely disappeared. Like, where
  • Not Synced
    are they? Also, you can't see the two,
  • Not Synced
    it's just not super accurate. The line
  • Not Synced
    work is also really shaky in places.
  • Not Synced
    And the circle at the top there, well
  • Not Synced
    that looks a little bit drunk, doesn't
  • Not Synced
    it? As you know from my last two videos,
  • Not Synced
    Ariel is just a bit defensive. Just a
  • Not Synced
    little bit, you know just a little bit
  • Not Synced
    just a little bit defensive. A little
  • Not Synced
    bit. Her response to this comment about
  • Not Synced
    the missing elements was, baby, there is
  • Not Synced
    a missing 2, 4, 5, 9, etc. Can you please
  • Not Synced
    calm down and just appreciate the
  • Not Synced
    beautiful artwork? So I actually forgot
  • Not Synced
    to get a screenshot of that response
  • Not Synced
    to that comment. The comment that I just
  • Not Synced
    read about the missing elements has been
  • Not Synced
    deleted. Along with Ariel's response. I
  • Not Synced
    had copied and pasted Ariel's response
  • Not Synced
    into my notes, so yeah.
  • Not Synced
    I don't know if it's my TikTok bugging
  • Not Synced
    out or it has been deleted, I'm not sure
  • Not Synced
    since we're with that's just one comment
  • Not Synced
    has been deleted. I don't know. So yeah,
  • Not Synced
    if you don't believe the response, I
  • Not Synced
    completely understand cuz obviously
  • Not Synced
    I don't have the screenshot to prove it,
  • Not Synced
    but, I mean, I have no reason to make this
  • Not Synced
    up. But hey, what do we expect from
  • Not Synced
    someone like Ariel. The next TikTok we're
  • Not Synced
    gonna look at, uhhh, I was really hoping
  • Not Synced
    that this wasn't a thing to be honest
  • Not Synced
    with you guys, but it is. It's a TikTok
  • Not Synced
    called, "Her 12 year old daughter
  • Not Synced
    tattooing.
  • Not Synced
    [Music]
  • Not Synced
    I will say, in my
  • Not Synced
    opinion, it is incredibly irresponsible
  • Not Synced
    to let a 12 year old tattoo like this.
  • Not Synced
    You know, Ariel is a grown adult,
  • Not Synced
    a professional tattoo artist. She should
  • Not Synced
    know better. Right? Tattooing can be so
  • Not Synced
    dang dangerous, like I could just not
  • Not Synced
    live with myself if something went wrong
  • Not Synced
    with my child while they're tattooing.
  • Not Synced
    You know the risks of cross-contamination
  • Not Synced
    and hurting yourself is so dang high.
  • Not Synced
    And while accidents that can cause
  • Not Synced
    lifetime harm, are pretty rare, it doesn't
  • Not Synced
    mean that it's not gonna happen. I did
  • Not Synced
    do some more research, because I tried
  • Not Synced
    to do research about this whole situation
  • Not Synced
    in my, I don't remember which part, I
  • Not Synced
    covered the daughter tattooing um in
  • Not Synced
    might have been in part one, I'm not
  • Not Synced
    sure. I can't really find much information
  • Not Synced
    but I was doing research for that and
  • Not Synced
    still the same to be honest with you.
  • Not Synced
    The thing is, the only time you can
  • Not Synced
    get a tattoo under the age of 18 in
  • Not Synced
    Texas is if it's to cover an existing
  • Not Synced
    tattoo. So say it's say you are 16 years
  • Not Synced
    old, you got a tattoo out of state, your
  • Not Synced
    tattoo looks terrible. You come back
  • Not Synced
    home to Texas. You want to get that
  • Not Synced
    tattoo covered up, that's the only time
  • Not Synced
    and you have to have parent's permission
  • Not Synced
    to do that as well. Otherwise, you have
  • Not Synced
    to be 18 and over to get a tattoo. Like
  • Not Synced
    a brand new one. Ok, I forgot to say,
  • Not Synced
    the reason why I brought this up is
  • Not Synced
    because I personally, this is my own
  • Not Synced
    opinion, my own thoughts, my own views,
  • Not Synced
    but I find it very strange that the
  • Not Synced
    daughter isn't even old enough to get
  • Not Synced
    a tattoo, but she is doing tattoos. You
  • Not Synced
    also have to have a tattoo license to
  • Not Synced
    do tattoos in Texas. Do you think they
  • Not Synced
    are giving those out to 12 year olds?
  • Not Synced
    I found this on a website called
  • Not Synced
    authoritytattoo.com And I'm not sure how
  • Not Synced
    legit all this is, so take it with a pinch
  • Not Synced
    of salt obviously, but it does say, to
  • Not Synced
    acquire a tattoo license where one is
  • Not Synced
    required, you'll need a minimum to be
  • Not Synced
    at least 18 years of age and have
  • Not Synced
    successfully completed an apprenticeship
  • Not Synced
    with a professional tattoo artist. Do with
  • Not Synced
    that information what you will, I don't
  • Not Synced
    know. Anyway, moving on, please will you
  • Not Synced
    just look at this tattoo of Ariel's cousin
  • Not Synced
    help me Comic Sans.
  • Not Synced
    [music]
  • Not Synced
    The eyes. It's the eyes more than anything
  • Not Synced
    with this tattoo. What the hell happened?
  • Not Synced
    There are so many reference photos
  • Not Synced
    of Ariel all over the internet, ok? You
  • Not Synced
    have no excuse to have janky eyes like
  • Not Synced
    this. Ok, moving onto the next one, strap
  • Not Synced
    yourself in for this one because this is
  • Not Synced
    Ariel incriminating herself the plagiarism
  • Not Synced
    front so damn bad. Ok, I have this one
  • Not Synced
    that you sent me. Yes. And then I have one
  • Not Synced
    that I customly put together. Ok. Like, um
  • Not Synced
    I guess like edited together.
  • Not Synced
    [Music]
  • Not Synced
    Mmhmm. Uh huh, yep. Yep. You did just
  • Not Synced
    witness that. You did just witness Ariel,
  • Not Synced
    ok? Badly superimpose Belle's head
  • Not Synced
    onto artwork that she found on the
  • Not Synced
    internet. With little to no changes.
  • Not Synced
    And then she acted like Picasso for
  • Not Synced
    doing so. She's like, "No no no no, I'm
  • Not Synced
    not going to copy the artwork that you
  • Not Synced
    wanted, that you got from the internet,
  • Not Synced
    ok? I'm gonna take this artwork and
  • Not Synced
    claim it as my own, and pretend like I'm
  • Not Synced
    the good guy. So you may be thinking,
  • Not Synced
    well, she didn't do much to the design,
  • Not Synced
    so it's gonna turn out looking good,
  • Not Synced
    right? You know, the majority of this
  • Not Synced
    isn't Ariel's work, so, it's a copy and
  • Not Synced
    paste kinda deal, it's gonna be great.
  • Not Synced
    Oh, oh, my siblings in Christ, wait til
  • Not Synced
    you see this.
  • Not Synced
    [music]
  • Not Synced
    The head. Ok. The fricking head. The
  • Not Synced
    size of the head, in proportion to the
  • Not Synced
    rest of that body that she took from the
  • Not Synced
    internet. Are you joking me? How can she
  • Not Synced
    look at that and think, "Yeah, that looks
  • Not Synced
    freaking great!"? I can't, I can't. That's
  • Not Synced
    not Belle. That's Belle's cousin Big
  • Not Synced
    Belle. [sound of bell chiming]
  • Not Synced
    She is so unwell for doing that, I swear.
  • Not Synced
    Ok, moving on again before I lose my
  • Not Synced
    goddamn mind. We're not gonna look
  • Not Synced
    at a autism puzzle piece tattoo that
  • Not Synced
    she has done recently. This is after her
  • Not Synced
    being called out numerous times from
  • Not Synced
    numerous people for doing such tattoos
  • Not Synced
    in the past. She is still doing this
  • Not Synced
    problematic puzzle piece tattoo.
  • Not Synced
    What are the three subjects that you
  • Not Synced
    chose? Autism, watercolor, and trippy.
  • Not Synced
    For many people, the puzzle piece is
  • Not Synced
    incredibly traumatic. I did cover the
  • Not Synced
    reason why in my part 2 video about Ariel
  • Not Synced
    I think it was. So I don't feel the need
  • Not Synced
    to go into it again. Also, I know that the
  • Not Synced
    history of the puzzle piece is incredibly,
  • Not Synced
    like I was saying, traumatic and
  • Not Synced
    triggering to those that are autistic, so
  • Not Synced
    I don't really want to upset anyone in
  • Not Synced
    this video. To be honest, sadly, this is
  • Not Synced
    one of Ariel's better tattoos when it
  • Not Synced
    comes to the quality, not the design,
  • Not Synced
    obviously. There is a couple of comments
  • Not Synced
    on this video trying to make Ariel aware
  • Not Synced
    of how problematic this symbol could
  • Not Synced
    be to some, but let's face it. She already
  • Not Synced
    knows. She polices her comments. She is
  • Not Synced
    aware of what she is doing. Anyway, one
  • Not Synced
    comment says: "Not the puzzle piece. Go
  • Not Synced
    research autism speaks and the puzzle
  • Not Synced
    piece. For the love of God, it's an awful
  • Not Synced
    symbol. Please research this shit." And
  • Not Synced
    then there's another that says, "Not you
  • Not Synced
    permanently a hate symbol on another
  • Not Synced
    person." And then there is a couple more
  • Not Synced
    positive comments being like "That looks
  • Not Synced
    great, etc., etc., but again, like I said,
  • Not Synced
    she polices her comments, and I believe
  • Not Synced
    again, that the two negative ones that I
  • Not Synced
    have read out have just fallen through
  • Not Synced
    the cracks. Overall, long story short, for
  • Not Synced
    this whole video, Ariel is still up to no
  • Not Synced
    good. She's still doing the problematic
  • Not Synced
    tattoos, she's still letting her 12 year
  • Not Synced
    old daughter tattoo, she's still bragging
  • Not Synced
    about really bad quality tattoos, and
  • Not Synced
    yeah, not much has changed. Should
  • Not Synced
    have known. Should have guessed. People
  • Not Synced
    like this don't really ever change, do
  • Not Synced
    they? I think that is enough for today.
  • Not Synced
    Thank you so much for joining me and
  • Not Synced
    hanging out for a little while, and until
  • Not Synced
