Viral Video Shows Woman Demanding Free Tattoo, Asked to Leave Studio
A recent incident at a local body piercing and tattoo studio in the U.S., captured in a viral social media video, has drawn significant attention to the challenges faced by service industry professionals. On September 29, 2025, a woman entered a studio and reportedly made unusual demands for services. The video, uploaded by a user identified as "bibibodypiercing," shows the woman standing near the entrance, engaging in a conversation with an unseen employee. During the exchange, the woman is heard asking, "nothing unless I can get one of y'all to give me a free tattoo?" She then followed up with a request for a "pay later tattoo." The employee, maintaining a calm and professional demeanor, responded directly to her inquiries. "No, we don't offer that," the employee stated, clearly indicating the studio's policy. After the refusal, the employee informed the woman, "I apologize, I'm gonna have to ask you to leave." The woman then turned and exited the premises without further incident. This interaction, which quickly gained traction online with over 800,000 views, has become another example of what social media users often label as a "Karen" encounter, highlighting instances of perceived entitlement and unreasonable customer behavior. The video provides a candid look into the daily realities and sometimes difficult situations that businesses and their staff navigate.
