What were they inking?

Several women on TikTok are seriously regretting their tattoos of an upside-down pineapple after choosing the design without knowing its
meaning.

A quick Google search would inform eager ink seekers that the turned-over
fruit is commonly used as a symbol for swingers looking for a good time.

Unlucky Brittany Lewin learned about that signal after she chose a line
drawing of a pineapple inside a triangle.

�Is that an upside-down pineapple?� her friend responded to a text message
of Lewin excitedly showing off her new addition in a viral TikTok.

�Hahaha not when my arm is down,� Lewin responded, naively.

Then she did her own Google search. �I�ve made a mistake besties,� Lewin captioned the clip, showing the shocking search results.

Viewers on TikTok both laughed and sympathized with Lewin over her
oversight.

�What was your reasoning behind getting that tattoo then? I�m dying here,�
one asked.

�It�s meant to represent being a boss babe and the triangle is my lucky symbol,� Lewin responded.

�Well, you wouldn�t win either way. Even if you put it the right way up,
when you put your arm back down from behind it�d still be upside down,�
another pointed out.

�Just turn it into Spongebob�s house and add some sea shells,� one
laughed.

Meanwhile, TikTok user Hanna Roigz explained in June that she
�impulsively� chose to get a pineapple tattooed on her arm on the last day
of her Hawaiian vacation.

�I wanted it to be upside down because I wanted to be able to see it at
all times and then later found out the meaning of upside down pineapples,�
she explained, adding that she�s managed to find the humor in her error.

�I think it�s hilarious,� she smiled.

One user wasn�t so easygoing. Stitching a video of a tattoo artist trying
to talk a client out of a pineapple tattoo, @callmebex11 interrupted, �Or,
and hear me out on this one, you could just acknowledge that sometimes
tattoos really just are for the client and not for the rest of the world.�

Other users agreed with their hot take.

�Ugh� how DARE people want their own art on their own body to look how
they want,� one groaned, sarcastically.

This once again shows my dad was right. A tattoo is a permanent reminder
of a temporary bad decision.

I can't tell you how many times I asked someone what the tattoo was
supposed to be and they answered, "a mistake."

The definition of tattoo, a permanent testament to a temporary frame of
mind. I kid you not. Too many people just have to join the herd, you
couldn't have convinced them to get a tat 30 years ago if their life
depended on it.

I note the irony of someone who tries to distinguish themselves from
everyone else by becoming just part of the herd.

I don't have any tattoos; only scars, and those weren't a choice.

Tattoos cheapen the wearers - period. There is just no way to cut it
otherwise. And as you age, the tattoos look worse.
