-
I know, before you all start, I know.
-
Oh god, Lauren, what has she done now?
-
Why are we here talking about
-
Ariel Dejesus again now?
-
And I know I did say in my last Ariel
-
DeJesus video that I probably won't
-
make anymore content on her, unless
-
she does something super problematic and
-
um, surprise surprise, here we are, what
-
three, four weeks later after that video.
-
Well I'm here talking about her again!
-
There's a new revelation and, um,
-
you're gonna just wanna buckle up
-
for this one, honestly. So,
-
a quick recap for those of you
-
that don't know who the person I'm about
-
to speak about is or you need a little
-
refresher or what have you
-
I have got a few videos on this person
-
already, I will leave a link down below to
-
those I should probably just make a
-
playlist at this point so I'll leave a
-
link down below to that, but yes
-
A quick introduction to Ariel DeJesus.
-
Ariel is a tattoo artist in Texas
-
She owns her own tattoo studio called
-
Blindfold Tattoo's, and she does this
-
thing on social media called
-
Blindfold Tattoo's
-
She'll ask her tattoo clients to pick
-
three subject matters and she'll make a
-
tattoo out of them.
-
And then she blindfolds them for what
-
reason, I don't know
-
so it's a surprise, I guess
-
and yeah, she'll do the tattoo and film
-
her clients' reactions, and most people
-
do end up seeming very very happy with the
-
results, but every tattoo enthusiast out
-
there, or even people that aren't really
-
into tattoos, um, can see that there is a
-
problem with Ariel's tattoos.
-
She brags about rushing her tattoos
-
she will do a whole big leg piece within
-
like, two or three hours.
-
The linework is terrible.
-
Ariel also steals other people's artwork
-
whether that be from Pinterest or other
-
tattoo artists' tattoos.
-
I don't know if she's ever had an original
-
idea in her whole entire life.
-
Ariel has done an abundance of problematic
-
things throughout the past year,
-
two years, three years, however long she
-
has been pretty popular with on social
-
media, she is mainly known on TikTok
-
that's where her biggest audience is
-
and there is just a whole big list of
-
things that Ariel has done, from
-
training her daughter who, at the moment
-
I think is twelve years old, to tattoo.
-
I think she said she taught her daughter
-
to tattoo at six years old.
-
Ariel has also left her daughter to tattoo
-
in her tattoo studio by herself, you know
-
like this young girl tattooing strangers.
-
And there is no laws against it, trust me
-
I've combed through Texas tattoo laws
-
there is, like, no laws against Ariel's
-
daughter tattooing, it's very very icky to
-
me, though, still.
-
Like, that's just not right.
-
Ariel's tattoo hygienic practices are very
-
very very questionable.
-
She also claims that she runs an
-
'all-female run' tattoo studio, but in the
-
background, you'll just see her husband
-
walking about. That's not an 'all-female
-
run' tattoo studio, if you ask me.
-
And there is honestly so many more things
-
that Ariel has done, but I want to keep
-
this brief, short and sweet, and if you
-
want to know more then of course, like I
-
said, I have more videos on Ariel.
-
So, there is new things happening within
-
the Ariel DeJesus universe right now.
-
I got a message from the lovely Justine
-
Lucy who I've mentioned a few times across
-
my channel, she is a wonderful tattoo
-
artist, very very very talented, and she
-
also sometimes makes tattoo-related
-
content, mainly on TikTok.
-
Anyway, she messaged me on Instagram and
-
she was like, "Hey, have you seen, like,
-
this new Ariel DeJesus situation going
-
on?" and I was like, "Oh, god, what now?
-
Like, what now? Seriously, can we have a
-
month off?" Like, it's every month with
-
this woman, I swear.
-
So, Justine sent me a couple of links
-
for me to look into, all of this, and oh,
-
honey... let's start. Let's just start ok?
-
So, the person that's made a couple of
-
TikToks about this situation's name isn't
-
listed anywhere on her profile, so I'm
-
just gonna call her Okie because her
-
username is okie_lady48.
-
So, her name's Okie, okay? Okie, okay?
-
So, anyway, Okie, on the 15th of August
-
uploaded this image on TikTok, it's
-
literally just the picture, it's a selfie
-
and then on it says
-
"Headed to Texas tomorrow to see Ariel
-
DeJesus, hubby getting a tattoo".
-
So, this is like, the day before the
-
appointment, and everything seems good,
-
everything seems fine.
-
She's just very excited about the fact
-
that she's going to go see Ariel DeJesus
-
and her husband is about to get a tattoo
-
by her. Standard behaviour, right?
-
On this TikTok picture upload that are
-
your standard comments that you would see
-
on a post like this from, you know,
-
followers, and people passing by
-
there's comments that say, "Drive Safe!"
-
Another one says, "Looking beautiful!"
-
Another one says, "Can't wait to see it!"
-
You know, nice, wholesome comments!
-
Everything seems good right now, alright?
-
Yeah, okay, great. Oh boy.
-
You know what's coming.
-
Then, two days afterwards on the 17th of
-
August, Okie uploaded a TikTok that has a
-
picture of a before and after of her
-
husband's tattoo.
-
In this TikTok, Okie asks a very very
-
loaded question.
-
"Went to Ariel over in Fortworth, Texas.
-
This is the before, and this is the after.
-
It is a cover-up, keep in mind, okay?
-
So, y'all, let me know in the comments
-
what you actually think. Please don't
-
spare anything. I wanna know the truth"
-
Yeah. So, I mean, if you have to ask, then
-
you know something's wrong, right?
-
If you have to ask "Oh, is my tattoo bad?"
-
it's like you already know the answer.
-
You know, like, if you have to ask you
-
subconsciously probably already know the
-
answer to this, okay?
-
This for a cover-up is terrible.
-
This for a tattoo is terrible.
-
Let's be serious, if it was a tattoo
-
alone, it's terrible, but as a cover-up,
-
it's even worse because you can still see
-
the original tattoo underneath it.
-
Of course, as always, with, um, Ariel,
-
the linework is absolutely horrendous,
-
the circles around the top of the helmet
-
thing are just...
-
I mean, there is absolutely no
-
structure to them.
-
And this photo that you're seeing
-
right now is of it fresh.
-
And when you first get a tattoo,
-
everything is a lot more saturated,
-
a lot more darker.
-
As this tattoo heals, and as we will see
-
later in this video,
-
more of the original tattoo peeks through,
-
of course, because everything starts to
-
settle down and heal.
-
We have a closeup as well of this, okay,
-
and please just tell me that...
-
how can you send a client out of the door
-
with this quality of work and be okay with
-
it? Like, what is going on in this
-
section right here, please and thank you.
-
So, it was a comment from Olivia,
-
who has made quite a few, um, TikToks
-
about Ariel, she kind of keeps everyone up
-
to date on what is happening in Ariel
-
world, okay, she commented saying,
-
"Man, she did you dirty. I'm so sorry.
-
As a coverup artist, this could've been so
-
much better."
-
Which I completely agree with.
-
Okie replied saying, "Right, like it was
-
25 years old," which was the original
-
tattoo, "and lightened up so much it
-
wouldn't have been hard. I'm disgusted
-
that we didn't do better research."
-
The thing to me with this is
-
Ariel has so much work on her TikTok
-
account, she uploads at least once a day
-
if not multiple times a day.
-
There is so much evidence, oh my goodness
-
the ghost of Ariel's trying to choke me.
-
There is so much evidence on Ariel's
-
TikTok that she is a terrible, way below
-
average tattoo artist, is kind of, like,
-
there's enough proof there, like, all we
-
have to do is scroll through for like
-
ten minutes and that's enough research
-
in my opinion, when it comes to Ariel
-
you know, you don't have to dig too deep
-
to find out that she isn't a great tattoo
-
artist, but I guess sometimes people just
-
don't have an eye for what's good and
-
what's bad when it comes to tattoos.
-
Which is understandable.
-
If you don't have a huge interest in
-
it, you're not gonna know.
-
"I'm sorry hun, it looks so bad, needs a
-
lot of fixing. Hope you find someone
-
amazing."
-
"Thank you so much, it does look worse day
-
by day, the ink is coming out, so I am
-
praying it all ends up falling out.
-
Make a good cover-up easier then.
-
Just gotta let it heal," which is true,
-
if you've just had a tattoo, you need to
-
wait at least four weeks to eight weeks
-
until you can do more tattooing on that
-
area, you know?
-
"I'm an artist, it's absolute crap.
-
I don't get why anyone goes to her after
-
seeing her TikTok.
-
The linework is the most shaky I have ever
-
seen, the proportions are off, the shading
-
is... I don't even know."
-
"Yeah, we didn't see all that in the
-
tattoos we looked at, but we aren't
-
professional, and haven't messed with a
-
tattoo in over 25 years, and never at a
-
shop, always at friends' homes.
-
Lesson learned."
-
God.
-
Oh, I mean you all know my feelings toward
-
home tattooing, but...
-
We're basically dealing with people here
-
that have zero interest within tattoos
-
okay, so I'm not gonna be pointing fingers
-
at them too much for not knowing that much
-
when it comes to tattoos.
-
Because we were all there once,
-
weren't we?
-
I was once upon a time.
-
"I think it needs shading for sure,
-
but yeah, they need to add more details
-
and honestly, I think you need to go back
-
to them and speak to a manager."
-
Ariel is the manager of this tattoo studio
-
so, there's no one higher than Ariel.
-
Okie then asked in her TikTok
-
if anybody knows of any cover-up artists
-
within the Oklahoma area
-
cause her husband wants it dealt with.
-
Okay, like her husband wants it gone.
-
"And also, anybody know any Oklahoma
-
artists that are good at shading, and
-
covering up raspberry blood, that would be
-
awesome too. Tag them, tag them in this.
-
Let's get this out there to people that
-
can fix this for my poor husband."
-
Luckily, as always when something like
-
this happens within the tattoo universe,
-
lots of tattoo enthusiasts and tattoo
-
lovers, and tattoo artists and artists
-
come forward and try and help people in
-
these situtations.
-
There were literally artists from all over
-
the world offering their help,
-
when it comes to, like, covering this up.
-
And it was honestly so wholesome to scroll
-
through the comments and see comments
-
that were like that,
-
this is truly what the tattoo community
-
is all about.
-
And like I was just saying, Okie's husband
-
is probably gonna have to wait at least
-
4-8 weeks until this can be dealt with,
-
but as Ariel did the absolute bare minumum
-
with this tattoo, it should honestly be a
-
pretty easy fix.
-
To be honest with you, it just needs
-
to be darkened up, so so much,
-
and then to go over the linework a bit
-
just to make it a little bit more smooth
-
and saturated, you know?
-
It just needs a lot of tweaking.
-
Okie then goes on to talk about Ariel as a
-
person.
-
"This is a picture of me and her.
-
I think she is super super super nice,
-
me and her got along very very good.
-
She's a very nice person, she has a great
-
sense of humour, um, and, she was super
-
nice. I just hate that the tattoo turned
-
out the way it did."
-
This doesn't surprise me, to be honest
-
with you.
-
I've discussed Ariel's personality and
-
behaviour towards her clients before,
-
and I have said in the past, she does seem
-
incredibly sweet and, you know, like,
-
friendly and bubbly.
-
A big part of me kind of does believe that
-
this is all for cameras.
-
You know, she films literally every tattoo
-
appointment that she has,
-
so there's always cameras about and
-
what have you.
-
I'd love to know what she's like when
-
there is no cameras about,
-
like is she like this all the time?
-
Or is it just for show?
-
I feel like she tries to keep up this
-
persona of the fact that she is super
-
sweet and super nice to her clients.
-
Cause then if anybody says anything bad
-
about her, well, you're just a hater.
-
"Look, I'm just a sweet, lovely woman,
-
I just want to do my tattoos, and I just
-
wanna make everything so accessible for
-
everyone, I charge very cheaply, I do it
-
very quickly so you're in and out the door
-
I'm very nice to you.
-
You know, if you come up against me,
-
then you're just evil. You're horrible."
-
That's pretty much what Ariel's MO is
-
to me, anyway.
-
Now, like I just said, Ariel films pretty
-
much every client that walks through
-
the door.
-
So of course, we have an Ariel point of
-
view of Okie's husband getting this tattoo
-
So let's meet Okie's husband.
-
"Are you ready for this?"
-
"I am."
-
"Okay, sweet. Do me a favour,
-
state your name and where you're from."
-
"Uh, Nathan Smith, Yukon Oklahoma."
-
"Oklahoma! Awesome."
-
Wonderful, wholesome!
-
He seems great, right?
-
He seems like your average, middle-aged
-
man, just there to get a cover-up,
-
so let's take a look at his reaction to
-
the tattoo that Ariel did.
-
"Very cool."
-
"Is that cool?"
-
"Look at that splash of red in there."
-
Sorry, I'm so sorry. Like, what is...
-
Let's watch that again. Should we watch
-
that again? Let's watch that again.
-
"Very cool."
-
"Is that cool?"
-
"Look at that splash of red in there."
-
Oh, boy. I have honestly been more
-
enthused going for a blood test, okay?
-
I have had more excitement for the nurse
-
doing my blood test, than this man has for
-
that tattoo, and I freaking hate blood
-
tests, okay?
-
"Is that cool?"
-
Of course, some people aren't very emotive
-
and don't show a lot of emotion
-
and I will take that into account
-
but, uh, his reaction...
-
it just seems like he's just a little bit
-
disappointed, you know?
-
Just a little bit, you know?
-
he just doesn't seem that enthused
-
about it.
-
"Is that cool?"
-
Okie uploaded another TikTok on the 17th
-
of August talking about people's reaction
-
to her husband's tattoo.
-
"Just sitting here, we got back from
-
running some errands.
-
He got quite a few compliments on
-
his tattoo. That it was sick, it was bad
-
A-S-S, it was, um, cool as F,
-
so it's not bad.
-
It looks good if you're not right up on it
-
and if you don't now what the cover-up
-
was behind it.
-
If you don't know what the tattoo
-
was behind it, I don't think you're
-
going to notice it."
-
I don't know who these people
-
are, or why they are commenting on
-
her husband's tattoo, to be honest with
-
you, unless they're going up to people
-
and being like,
-
"What do you think about this tattoo"
-
which of course, if someone does that,
-
you're probably gonna be nice about
-
it, you're not gonna be like,
-
"That's ugly",
-
unless you're ballsy.
-
There's also a chance that the people
-
that are saying that this is
-
good, just think it's good!
-
Depending on how many tattoos you've
-
been exposed to in your life
-
there's a lot of people out there that
-
don't know much about tattoos at all
-
will see a tattoo and be
-
like, "yeah, that looks cool."
-
Because they've never been exposed
-
to a decent tattoo before.
-
But if you have seen a lot of tattoos
-
before, if you have a lot of tattoos
-
yourself, then you can look at this
-
tattoo and be like,
-
"Yeah, that's not great."
-
And it gets worse.
-
Like I mentioned earlier, this tattoo is
-
healing like garbage.
-
"Okay guys, look.
-
This is literally, it won't even be seven
-
full days until tonight at 8PM.
-
Can you not see all the washout?
-
I don't even know what to say."
-
Seriously, what is this for a cover-up.
-
A cover-up, you're meant to get rid of
-
the old tattoo as much as you most
-
possibly can.
-
This looks like a blastover to me.
-
Cause you can still see a lot of the old
-
original tattoo, which is not what you're
-
meant to do with a cover-up, okay?
-
This is honestly so disappointing to see,
-
but honestly not shocking at all.
-
I'm not really shocked at how this is
-
healing.
-
How can Ariel continue to deliver this
-
type of shoddy work over and over and over
-
again, and expect to get away with it?
-
Like, this is probably the first time
-
someone has actually created a fuss.
-
When it comes to someone getting an Ariel
-
tattoo, I feel like most people, kind of,
-
either end up liking it because they don't
-
know any better,
-
or they kind of just keep quiet, or they
-
go to other tattoo artists and
-
then get their Ariel tattoos covered up.
-
"The original was one of those
-
$100 blindfold tattoos that are so
-
infamous in Texas.
-
So this whole tattoo is really really
-
raised, especially, like, all the spots
-
where all the lines meet,
-
it's like a big knot underneath her skin.
-
So that's gonna be one of the challenges
-
that we have to go through today,
-
scar tissue is full of collagen and does
-
not like to hold tattoo ink, um,
-
this one right here is the worst
-
this little bump.
-
It's actually probably the size of a BB,
-
like, if you could feel this.
-
But, um, we're gonna make it disappear
-
today."
-
Now you're probably wondering what Okie's
-
husband Nathan's real feelings are towards
-
this tattoo, because as you have probably
-
noticed, the only person that's doing
-
all the talking here is Okie.
-
Well, Okie's husband has let his feelings
-
be known in one of Okie's TikToks.
-
"Just to set the record straight, uh,
-
I... I do hate the tattoo.
-
I, I mean, originally, for the first 8, 12
-
hours or so, you know,
-
and it does, it looks better than what was
-
there, you know, I didn't like that.
-
I like the design, but again, that's
-
something we took in there to her
-
and, uh, was told it would be a cover-up
-
but it did not cover-up and... yeah.
-
Not happy."
-
Ugh, yikes.
-
I mean, as much as it is entertaining to
-
dunk on more Ariel DeJesus tattoos,
-
and, you know, just show how terrible her
-
tattoo skills are,
-
it truly does suck for the people behind
-
the tattoos, the tattoo clients that end
-
up with these terrible tattoos.
-
Tattoo disappointment is awful.
-
Trying to fix terrible tattoos is a whole
-
process, and Nathan is gonna have to go
-
through this again.
-
He had a very old tattoo from his younger
-
years, wanted it to be covered up, and he
-
thought, 'well, let's just do this cover
-
up, and then it's done, don't have to deal
-
with it anymore, don't even have to think
-
about it anymore'.
-
And now he's gonna have to go through this
-
whole process again by having this tattoo
-
fixed.
-
And this is obviously not something he
-
didn't expect that he would have to deal
-
with.
-
You know, when you get a cover-up,
-
you think, 'well, anything is better than
-
this old thing.'
-
And when you go for a cover-up, you have
-
so much hope that the cover-up is gonna be
-
so freaking awesome, you're gonna end up
-
loving that part of your body again,
-
but for Nathan, that hasn't been the case,
-
and he's just gonna have to go through
-
more tattooing and more healing, and it's
-
just... it's really really sad.
-
Nathan then goes on to talk about the fact
-
that him and his wife Okie are actually
-
en route to go and see another tattoo
-
artist to see if anything can be done with
-
what is going on there.
-
"Anyways, we... we are on our way to, uh,
-
have a guy closer to where we live
-
take a look at it, tell us what it'll take
-
to fix it.
-
Uh, so hopefully here in a month when this
-
is healed, uh, we can get in and get this
-
fixed, uh, unless he thinks it's better
-
to just cover the whole thing up.
-
I guess we'll see what he says."
-
And then, oh boy.
-
This is when it starts to get really
-
freaking juicy.
-
So, because of Okie's TikToks, Ariel did
-
get a bit of backlash on her TikTok that
-
she had uploaded of Nathan getting the
-
tattoo, okay?
-
Ariel did an absolute dirty one, okay?
-
Like, she is so petty she is constantly
-
fighting for her life
-
out on TikTok and trying to save her
-
reputation, and it just never works.
-
But anyway, Ariel uploaded a TikTok
-
responding to a comment that said,
-
"The way he's already reaching out to
-
other shops for a coverup"
-
Instead of Ariel filming a video
-
addressing the whole situation and saying
-
"Hey, you know what? Like, I've seen this.
-
I'm really sorry if Nathan, or Okie's
-
husband isn't happy with the tattoo,
-
maybe I can try and fix it or try and,
-
you know, rectify the situation."
-
Instead of, like, being nice and
-
apologising and saying,
-
"Oh my gosh, I'm sorry that you are having
-
this issue, and your tattoo isn't healing
-
the way you want it to heal."
-
She uploaded a section of a TikTok that
-
Okie had uploaded, I know that's kind of
-
confusing, but you'll see what I mean here
-
"And he's happy! So, as long has he's
-
happy, that's all that matters."
-
So yes, in one of Okie's earlier TikToks
-
she did say that yes, her husband was
-
happy with the tattoo, to start off with,
-
okay? This was early days.
-
But guess what, this may be a shock to
-
Ariel and some other people, I don't know,
-
um, but people can and will and are
-
allowed to change their mind.
-
Surprise! Woo!
-
And to be honest, his reaction to when he
-
first saw the tattoo is enough for me to
-
solidify the fact that he was never 100%
-
sure on the tattoo anyway.
-
"Is that cool?"
-
So, Ariel thinking that she's got a
-
'gotcha!' moment here, is so funny to me.
-
It's just like, what do you think you're
-
doing here? Because you're... no.
-
You aren't doing what you think you're
-
doing.
-
Now here's where it gets juicier, okay?
-
This is Okie's response to Ariel's TikTok.
-
"So, there you go! Ariel trying to take
-
things out of context.
-
He said himself he hates the tattoo.
-
You want to try change things to make your
-
side look good, when that's not gonna work
-
here hun.
-
Yeah, 12 hours, but we also didn't get
-
home 'til midnight, cause you were two and
-
a half hours behind, because of health
-
inspectors that you had to pay off
-
to keep your business open."
-
I... oh! Girl, I...
-
So, um, this actually isn't that shocking
-
to me, per se, because like I've discussed
-
in a couple of my Ariel DeJesus videos,
-
Ariel's hygiene practices for a tattoo
-
artist...
-
They're shockingly bad.
-
Like, cross-contamination everywhere,
-
you know?
-
I feel like Ariel's tattoos do the talking
-
for her as well.
-
If she is willing to rush a tattoo and do
-
things very half-assed, then what else is
-
she doing very rushed, and half-assed
-
when it comes to hygienic standards and
-
what have you, like...
-
Is that studio even clean? When was the
-
last time the floors were mopped?
-
Do you know what I'm saying?
-
There is probably health code violations
-
everywhere within that tattoo studio.
-
"So, we don't get to make it home 'til
-
midnight.
-
So, you know, we take the wrap off and
-
I'm like, "oh my god! I can see half of
-
your tattoo!"
-
And he was like, "nuh uh, really?"
-
And so we're both like, 'oh my god'.
-
Well, when he had his first wash
-
half of that ink right there
-
came off. Gone. Poof!
-
And every day since then,
-
when he washes it with his antibacterial
-
soap..."
-
"Dial Unscented."
-
"Dial Unscented. Yes. More ink just ch-ch-
-
Like, I can see the entire part of the
-
skull now. All of it, it's there.
-
Both eyes. The nose. All of the top set of
-
teeth, bottom set of teeth, the entire
-
bottom of the knife, almost all the
-
flames. It's all shown through now.
-
Because she done such crap work.
-
Sorry that my husband was happier with
-
crap work than something he got 25 years
-
ago.
-
From somebody that was just a friend of
-
his when they were drunk.
-
Like, you can't take that as a compliment.
-
And if you do, that's pretty freaking sad.
-
Peace! We'll let you know what the new
-
tattoo guy says. Bye!"
-
She did not come to play.
-
Okay? Okie did not come to play, she read
-
Ariel to filth!
-
Like I've said, the way this tattoo is
-
healing doesn't shock me in any way.
-
And it also goes to show the fact that you
-
can like a tattoo to start off with, but
-
if you notice that it's healing like
-
crap, you're allowed to change your mind
-
and say, "no, I don't like the way
-
this is healing, this does not look good."
-
As we can tell, Okie is ride or die for
-
her man. And she will stop at nothing when
-
someone has done her man wrong.
-
And this is the case, okay? Like, she, oh.
-
If it ain't like this, I don't want it.
-
Okie went to the depths of hell, AKA she
-
scrolled very very very far down on
-
Ariel's TikTok page,
-
a place that not many have ever been,
-
I've never done it myself because again,
-
Ariel uploads at least once a day,
-
multiple times a day.
-
There is a lot of content on there,
-
you'd be there for ages scrolling, okay?
-
I don't have the patience for that.
-
And I don't think anyone else has ever
-
had the patience for that.
-
But Okie did, okay? Because she's not
-
stopping at anything.
-
And Okie come across this content from
-
Ariel, of Ariel, doing dentistry work.
-
So, Okie uploaded a TikTok carousel of
-
screenshots of Ariel's dentistry work
-
from 2021.
-
Now Ariel has claimed that she is a tattoo
-
artist of 12+ years at this point.
-
Um, so, why is a tattoo artist of 12-ish
-
years playing dentist?
-
Someone said on this TikTok carousel:
-
"Please say sike."
-
Okie replied, "No, I got this from her
-
page before she deleted it and blocked
-
me."
-
Again, I have not attempted to scroll down
-
to 2021 Ariel content, I'd be there for...
-
a long time.
-
So, I'd forgot that TikTok now does this
-
thing where you can organise someone's
-
TikToks, you can do it by oldest, so I did
-
that on Ariel's TikTok profile,
-
scrolled down a little bit, and, um,
-
I eventually come across the old dentistry
-
posts, uh, there it is, yep.
-
There it is, right there, it's still
-
there. It's still there.
-
Here we go, here's some beautiful teeth
-
pictures.
-
Beautiful. Love that.
-
I was going to mention this, but I only
-
saw one other creator say it,
-
so I wasn't sure if it was true, but I'm
-
far from surprised.
-
Yes, I saw the interview where she said
-
she learned how to fillings, she used
-
acrylic and just thinks she is a dentist.
-
So, I was like, 'huh? What, there's
-
someone else talking about this? What's
-
going on here.'
-
So, of course, me being me, I was like,
-
"Who's talking about this,
-
what's happening here?"
-
So, you know, typey typey, Ariel DeJesus,
-
dentistry, in the TikTok search bar,
-
a TikTok come up from this TikTok creator
-
and tattoo artist, Anarchist Tattoos,
-
and in this TikTok that I come across
-
they document the fact that there was an
-
interview with Ariel that she did
-
dentistry work, just casually.
-
"So, Ariel had done an interview on
-
Voyage Dallas, and you would not believe
-
what else she does, aside from her
-
tattooing.
-
'Since then, I took on dentistry.
-
I realised when I brought fresh fruit to
-
street ministry none of the apples are
-
taken,' I think is what she meant,
-
'because most people were missing teeth,
-
or had really bad cavities. I learn how to
-
do temporary fillings, permanent fillings,
-
bridges, overlays etc. Anything that I can
-
learn and do in order to help someone in
-
need. The sky is the limit, and I will
-
learn how to do it.'
-
I mean, at this point, I consider her,
-
like a serial impersonator because
-
she didn't have a proper training for
-
tattooing, and she said it multiple times,
-
and I'm sure she doesn't have the proper
-
training and schooling and all the medical
-
degrees and whatnot needed for dentistry
-
and now she's performing some dentistry."
-
This truly was never the curveball I was
-
expecting from Ariel.
-
More crappy tattoos? Yes.
-
Maybe someone getting a pretty bad tattoo
-
infection, also yes.
-
But illegal dentistry? No, okay?
-
I would never ever assume or expect that
-
to be part of, you know, Ariel's archive.
-
But here we are.
-
What Ariel is doing, or was doing,
-
I don't think she's doing it anymore.
-
Or if she is, she's doing it on the down
-
low, and not posting it anywhere.
-
Because what she is or was doing
-
is highly illegal.
-
I wanted to check the laws in Texas
-
when it comes to dentistry,
-
just in case there's, you know, a loophole
-
or anything, but I don't think
-
Ariel can get away with this one, honestly
-
like with some of the crappy stuff she's
-
done within tattooing, she's managed to
-
get away with cause there's loopholes or
-
what have you,
-
but this one, no.
-
So, we have this subchapter insurance of
-
license to practice dentistry,
-
"License required.
-
A person may not practice or offer to
-
practice dentistry or dental surgery or
-
represent that the person practices
-
dentistry, unless the person holds a
-
license issued by the board.
-
An applicant for a license to practice
-
dentistry must be at least 21 years of age
-
and present proof of a graduation from a
-
dental school accredited by the commission
-
of dental accreditation of the American
-
Dental Association, or graduation from a
-
dental school that's not accredited by the
-
commission and successful completion of
-
training in an American Dental Association
-
approved speciality in an education
-
program accredited by the commission that
-
consists of the last 2 years of training.
-
As specified by the council of dental
-
education, the board shall grant a dental
-
license to an applicant that meets the
-
qualifications of this section, pays an
-
applicant fee set by the board, and
-
satisfactorily passes the examination
-
required by the board."
-
All of this stuff, I believe Ariel does
-
not possess in any way, shape or form.
-
Minus being over 21. She's nailed that
-
one. She's got that one down.
-
I also checked on this website where you
-
can see if someone has a license.
-
I obviously don't know much info about
-
Ariel, all I could put in was a location
-
and her name
-
I don't know if she has a license number,
-
but, yeah.
-
Nothing was coming up with the multiple
-
different ways that I tried to search for
-
her.
-
She learned to do this, God knows how,
-
I dread to think, honestly, some back
-
alley thing on YouTube, who the frick
-
knows, okay?
-
This whole thing is truly terrifying.
-
Could you imagine going to a dentist that
-
hasn't been to dental school, hasn't
-
learned everything you need to learn when
-
it comes to being a dentist.
-
Like, what the actual hell are you playing
-
at, Ariel?
-
Like, this is... beyond dangerous.
-
Like what the fuck...?
-
There's this comment that says,
-
"I just know she's putting some random
-
acrylic or something on top of these
-
cavities, she's not drilling, cleaning,
-
nothing, what the fuck."
-
"I think that's exactly what she is doing
-
and that truly terrifies me. Infections in
-
the teeth can spread so fast."
-
A good point.
-
I obviously don't know much about
-
dentistry or dental work or anything that
-
is not my field of expertise or interest
-
at all.
-
But what she was or is doing here is so
-
incredibly dangerous.
-
There is so much room for error when it
-
comes to dentistry, you know? Like,
-
oh god...
-
If you're just gonna put a random filling
-
over something that could be infected,
-
you're trapping that infection in there.
-
It's just a recipe for disaster!
-
And then there's this comment that pretty
-
much nails it on the head, it says,
-
"It's gonna take someone dying at this
-
rate to shut her down. I don't know how
-
people are thinking going to her is a good
-
idea for ANYTHING."
-
I fully agree.
-
It's gonna take someone being seriously
-
injured, for some type of authority to
-
take this seriously.
-
And even then, are they gonna take this
-
seriously, cause they might just be like,
-
"well, you know, accidents happen."
-
Blame it on the client or what have you.
-
Ariel's problematic practices are gonna
-
lead to someone coming close to death with
-
a serious infection, whether that's in
-
their mouth or on their skin
-
which can then lead to sepsis, okay, and
-
then, I don't know if you know this, but
-
sepsis is terrifying.
-
You can die from sepsis.
-
It is a horrible thing to go through.
-
Okie replied to this comment saying,
-
"I think the teeth is on a lot of homeless
-
so they wouldn't even know, sadly."
-
Which, obviously, we don't know.
-
We don't know if that's true or not, but
-
Ariel does have this whole motive of
-
wanting to help people.
-
She does this whole Tattooing for Christ
-
thing, she accepts big donations of food
-
or water in exchange for tattoos,
-
so then she can then donate this food and
-
water and what have you to homeless
-
shelters or those who need the food or
-
water.
-
"...wanna show everyone how you paid for
-
this tattoo?"
-
"Sports drinks too? Okay, cool!
-
And everything here...
-
That is awesome.
-
Got some deodorants, deodorants, whoops!
-
Toothpaste, socks, and...
-
Wipes! Disinfectant wipes."
-
The thing with Ariel is,
-
it's very obvious that she's trying to
-
help, because again she charges minimal
-
for her tattoos to make the tattoos
-
accessible for everybody, which, okay
-
great, but in exchange for that,
-
you are giving people terrible tattoos
-
and potentially harming them, or sending
-
them off, and then they are gonna have
-
to get tattooed by other artists,
-
and then they're spending more money
-
because Ariel has given them shoddy work.
-
"Is that cool?"
-
And with this whole dentistry thing as
-
well, a part of me thinks maybe she did
-
learn to do this however she learned how
-
to do it, I dread to think.
-
Because she wanted to help those that
-
didn't have money to go and see a dentist,
-
so she was like, 'oh, you know what?
-
Let me learn how to do this and I will
-
help those that are in pain, or that are
-
in need.
-
Like, okay, that's all well and good,
-
I see maybe you had good intentions
-
behind this, but shoddy dentistry work can
-
lead to a world of problems.
-
And especially if it is on homeless people
-
they have absolutely no access to dentists
-
should they be, you know, in a world of
-
pain.
-
Especially in America.
-
With peace and love, America, I'm sorry
-
your healthcare system is fucked, okay?
-
If you are poor or don't have enough money
-
or don't have health insurance, you are
-
fucked.
-
You will just put yourself in more debt,
-
or you just have to deal with the pain.
-
So I can see why Ariel thinks she is doing
-
a good thing here because she is helping
-
those that don't have enough money,
-
but in reality she isn't helping anybody
-
because you are making people go and get
-
cover-ups, you're gonna make people,
-
you know, have tooth infections.
-
I honestly, I hope that people that she
-
did do this dentistry work on are okay.
-
We'll never ever know if they are okay, or
-
were okay, or did they end up having to,
-
you know, go to the dentist and, oh god.
-
It's just...
-
I fully believe Ariel needs an
-
intervention.
-
Someone needs to grab a hold of her and
-
be like, 'what the hell are you doing?'
-
and tell her she needs to start acting
-
right, okay?
-
This is too much.
-
Because what's next?
-
What is next.
-
What is going on behind closed doors
-
because this whole dentistry thing has
-
gone under the radar for a little while
-
now, like, 2021, we're in 2024 now.
-
That's three years, okay?
-
What else from Ariel's past do we not know
-
about that could be even more problematic.
-
And honestly at this point, I don't think
-
there's anything that's ever gonna be
-
shocking to us now
-
because of this dentistry thing
-
like, someone's gonna find evidence of her
-
being some kind of surgeon next, you know?
-
For all we know, she's been performing
-
appendectomies. Is that how you say it?
-
Appendec- appendec-
-
Wow, my years of Grey's Anatomy, um,
-
knowledge, has just gone out the window.
-
Basically, I would not be shocked if Ariel
-
has been taking out people's appendici-
-
Appendici-
-
Appendixes!
-
Appendicitises.
-
It's time for Lauren to lay down, I think.
-
As much as I normally respect the hustle
-
of someone trying to help people,
-
I honestly feel like you should not be
-
doing stuff that you haven't been to
-
school for, you know, especially,
-
you know, with dentistry.
-
I feel like a lot of people can kind of
-
accept her tattoo work and her tattooing,
-
but I feel like a lot of people are gonna
-
draw the line at this dentistry thing.
-
And if that isn't the limit for people,
-
then what is?
-
What the hell is the limit here?
-
Because, like, again, does she need to
-
kill someone for people to take this
-
seriously?
-
But yeah, it'll be interesting to see how
-
all of this does play out.
-
Like I said in my last video, I won't do
-
anymore Ariel content unless something
-
pretty notable comes up.
-
There's no point in me continuously
-
bashing her tattoo work in loads of
-
different videos and what have you,
-
because, like, we get the point.
-
Her work is terrible.
-
But if something like this dentistry
-
comes up, or any news about this dentistry
-
thing, or what have you, then...
-
I'll keep you updated, I guess, if you
-
wanna see any updates.
-
But I feel like Ariel is just gonna create
-
more and more problems as time goes by
-
and, I don't know.
-
I hope somehow there is an end to it,
-
I don't know how the end is
-
because what can be done?
-
Alright, her tattoo studio gets shut down.
-
She's gonna work from home, let's be
-
serious.
-
She'll find a way to carry on tattooing
-
somehow, she'll open another
-
establishment somehow, or she'll get hired
-
in another tattoo studio, somehow.
-
I feel like Ariel's not gonna stop at
-
anything, you know?
-
Oh god...
-
But yeah, anyways.
-
That is it for today's video.
-
I just wanna say thank you so much for
-
being here and watching
-
I appreciate you all so so much
-
and until my next video, I hope you all
-
stay safe and well,
-
and until then, bye!
