Woman gets free tattoo after artist repeatedly hits on her, then reveals he’s married with a child ‘The poor wife’

Just a day ago, TikTok user @paweenieee uploaded a video to her account, saying she would need to change her tattoo artist. As she kept talking, she mentioned that she met her tattoo artist through one of her exes.
Then, a few seconds into the video, she explains why she was forced to take such a drastic step. It turns out her current tattoo artist showed interest in her and made sexual advances. At one point, he even straightforwardly said he wanted to sleep with her and suggested that as payment for her tattoo. The worst part of the story? The man was married and had a one-month-old kid, something @paweenieee already knew from the start, but it wasn’t a problem until he started making sexual advances towards her.
TikTok user @paweenieee got a free tattoo
User @paweenieee begins her story about getting a half-sleeve tattoo for free by explaining she met her current tattoo artist through an ex-boyfriend. She mentions that she chose the artist based on his work, as he did impressive line work. She also notes that she didn’t initially feel uncomfortable when he worked on her tattoo, and the fact that he was married with a kid made her feel even more at ease. Cut to some time later, @paweenieee has broken up with her boyfriend and wanted a half-sleeve tattoo, so she texted the same artist and scheduled an appointment.
On the day of the appointment, @paweenieee’s tattoo artist told her that he had heard she broke up with her boyfriend, then suddenly, out of the blue, asked, “When is it my turn?” @paweenieee, understandably feeling uneasy with the abrupt change in tone, tried to change the subject while the artist was still working on her arm. She then offered to pay him, but he suggested she pay him the next day. The following week, @paweenieee went to the tattoo parlor to get the next part of her sleeve done. She recalls that after it was finished, the artist started talking about it, then suddenly shifted to discussing a couch he had in the back room. @paweenieee offered to pay once the tattoo work was done, but he refused again and asked her to pay next time. Later, the tattoo artist slid into her DMs in vanishing mode and suggested having a physical relationship with her. @paweenieee responded by texting him that she wasn’t interested and that she’d understand if he chose not to finish her tattoo, in which case she would look for someone else to complete her sleeve. However, he agreed to keep things professional and finish the tattoo. On the day he completed her tattoo, he told @paweenieee he believed her account was hacked because he received a message from it saying she didn’t want to hook up with him. Afterward, when @paweenieee was about to pay, the artist told her she didn’t have to if she was willing to pay with sexual favors. Disgusted by the whole ordeal, @paweenieee blocked him, and that’s how she ended up getting the tattoo for free.

Many people believed that @paweenieee should reveal the identity of the tattoo artist. User @prime_n7wrote, “We need to normalize airing these dudes out. They deserve to be exposed for being disgusting. Stop protecting him.” User @iflowerlove15 commented, “You told the wife right.”
Infidelity among married individuals is common
Unfortunately, it is fairly common for married people to cheat on their partners. “Around 15 to 20 percent of marriages have infidelity,” says Briony Leo, a psychologist from Melbourne, Australia, according to an article published by Brides on January 3, 2026. “The Relish Relationship Report conducted at the end of 2020 found that around 26 percent of respondents had experienced infidelity in their marriage: 23 percent emotional, 21 percent physical, and 55 percent experiencing both emotional and physical infidelity.”
That said, according to Brides, while both married men and women cheat, men are more likely to cheat than women. The source emphasizes that, based on the General Social Survey, men are roughly 7 percent more likely to cheat than women. Additionally, Techopedia reports that 23 percent of men admit to cheating, compared to 19 percent of women.
