The influencer who claimed she got her boyfriend’s name tattooed across her forehead has finally confessed the truth...
TikToker Ana Stanskovsky racked up 32.2 million views on the social media platform after sharing a video showing herself getting her partner Kevin's name "inked" on her forehead.
The eye-brow-raising clip captured her reaction as the "tattoo needle" worked in bold, giant, black lettering below her hairline. Upon completion, the influencer smiled at her reflection in the mirror as she marveled at the latest addition.
However, not everyone was convinced the tattoo was real as many body art enthusiasts rushed to the comment section to share their thoughts. They posted remarks such as: "It’s a prank. There’s no blood or redness," or "People who think this is real have obviously never gotten a tattoo."
The lovebird addressed the comments by sharing a series of explanation videos, insisting that her extreme act of devotion to Kevin was not a "prank".
In one particular clip, Ana posted a response to the comment: "Wow you will regret this one day," insisting that she's "in love" every time she looks in the mirror.
"I'm in love with the tattoo and I'm in love with my boyfriend," she declared. "I think if you really love someone, you've just got to show it you know, you've just got to prove it."
She went on to state that over-the-top tat was a way of her "showing [her] love" to her significant other, and also replied to everyone's worries about what would happen if she and Kevin broke up.
"I know many of you said I'm gonna regret that and what if we break up and all of this stuff, all of this horrible stuff and I just wanna say this is how I'm expressing my feelings so if I love someone, I'm doing this," she said. "I'm loving it, I'm definitely never gonna regret that. How can I regret this? It's beautiful."
Safe to say, not everyone was impressed with her attempt at beating the fake ink allegations as many shared comments like: "There’s nothing you could do to convince me this is real," or "[its] definitely a temporary tattoo."
Even a celebrity tattooist, ironically named Kevin Paul, chimed in on the controversy and remarked that he doesn't believe that it is authentic.
Speaking to the Metro, Paul said: "100% fake," adding, "It’s literally black marker pen."
The professional - who's drawn on Rihanna, Harry Styles, and Ed Sheeran - explained that there are several suspect elements to the young woman's story. "The machine isn’t even running and there’s no ink coming out of it. There’s no needle actually going into the skin," he said.
The tattoo aficionado also has ink on his head and called out Ana's supposed reaction to getting tattooed. "You don’t sit with a face like that when you're getting your head tattooed," he said, adding that it's supposed to "hurt".
He also criticized her video as a "desperate attempt for a tattoo artist to get noticed, and for the girl to get more followers".
Well, it looks like Ana must've gotten tired of the skeptical critics commenting on her Kevin artwork as she finally admitted that the tattoo is, in fact, very fake... shocker.
Watch Ana admit her tattoo is fake below:The influencer posted a video on her social media page where she wiped off the phony tat from her forehead and explained why she did it.
"All I want to say is that I regret my tattoo...but not this one," she said as she pointed to the Kevin design, before wiping and saying: "Because this is not actually a real tattoo."
Ana said she "tricked the whole internet" because she wanted to use her platform to send a message to anyone in the younger generation who wants to go under the needle for inkwork.
"I want everyone to know that I regret my tattoos and you might regret yours when you get older," she said. "And as a person fully covered in tattoos, I feel like this is my responsibility to speak up, share my experience, and when people see me on social media the first thing they notice about me is my tattoos. So if I influence people, I want to influence people in the right way."
The content creator revealed that when she got her first designs inked 10 years ago, her mom and her friends told her she would "regret" them, but she didn't listen to them because they didn't have any tattoos.
"But if there was a person covered in tattoos, saying they regret their tattoos, [then] I would've listened," Ana concluded.
Ana's comment section for her admission - which has now amassed over 19 million views - did not disappoint as one user quipped: "You waited too long and I got a forehead tattoo in that time."
Another joked: "Too late I got Kevin tatted on my forehead too," while a third person pointed out: "No one ever thought it was a real tattoo."
