I covered dumb tattoo I got at 14 with Kylie Jenner's face, it's inspired but people say it 'looks nothing like her'

A WOMAN has documented the transformation of her tattoo coverup, but the result

A WOMAN has documented the transformation of her tattoo coverup, but the result has left people divided.

The TikToker and her husband have a number of tattoos, but there was one ink that she had to get changed.

Jocelyne and her partner run a TikTok page (@therealstreetfamily) documenting parts of their life.

In a recent post, they showed a trip to a tattoo studio to fix Jocelyne's old ink.

The clip explains that the trip was so Jocelyne could "cover a dumb tattoo I got when I was 14."

A picture of her left shoulder blade showed three words inked to her skin in a large cursive font.

The text read: "Fear No B***h"

The mom-of-four decided that she wanted to cover it up with a portrait.

She explained in the video: "I wanted to get a bad bih and turn her into Medusa."

Jocelyn stated that her favorite "bad bih" is Kylie Jenner and that she loves the finished piece.

However, one viewer said: "You covered it with another silly one."

The end result shows the previous tattoo entirely covered up with a Kylie-inspired woman with a mass of snakes for hair.

"I got Kylie Jenner tattooed on my back," she wrote in the caption of the video.

Jocelyn can be seen sitting backward on a chair while the tattoo artist works his magic on her shoulder, causing her to grimace occasionally.

The video included the photograph of Kylie Jenner which was used for the design.

A number of people were shocked that Jocelyn was able to get a tattoo at just 14 years old while others slammed the ink for looking nothing like Jenner.

"How was y'all able to do all this at 14?" one viewer commented.

Several commenters said they didn't think the portrait looked anything like Kylie, with one summarizing a collective feeling by writing: "That looks nothing like her but I still love it."

One commenter said the portrait looked more like influencer Jenny 69, while another said: "More like Shakira."

Jocelyn's partner commented on the post saying: "Hey guys it's Kylie Jenner-inspired Medusa, not a portrait. We created the image around that one but changed some things to make it represent wifee."

People also picked issues with the choice of it being Medusa.

"Doesn't getting a Medusa tatted mean something," one wrote.

A number of others responded to the comment confirming that it is a design commonly chosen by survivors of rape or sexual assault.

One wrote: "It means SA and strength and power."

However, others reassured Jocelyn saying: "It stands for SA victims but I’ve seen others who love the art of the Medusa and just want it."

Another added: "It means strength and power and her image is used as protection against all evils so u good it's not just SA victims - it's cute."

Jocelyn explained in the comments that she chose the mythological woman because she "likes that she can turn these man to stone that looked at her."

Upon finding out another meaning she told to viewers: "Wow, I didn't know ... I just like Medusa she turns mfs into stone just for looking at her."

Many viewers loved the ink with one saying: "That came out beautiful now I want a tattoo."

"Came out gorgeous," another added.
