Woman shows off how she squeezes into a corset, but people are all saying the same thing about her unfortunate tattoo
A WOMAN has taken the internet by storm for all the wrong reasons after showing how she squeezes into a teeny corset.
The TikToker, only known as @, went viral after uploading a clip where she can be seen modelling the figure-hugging garment.
Chuffed with how snatched her waist looked like, the dark-haired beauty first showed social media users her natural body without the corset - and once the piece was on.
For better presentation purposes, the woman had rolled up the bright turquoise turtleneck she was wearing, fully exposing her stomach.
However, instead of focusing on the teeny corset, gobsmacked viewers were all talking about the same thing - the black inking right below her belly button.
The tattoo appeared to be a scenery with a hill in the middle, as well as some trees and what seemed to be the moon at the top.

But while the design was pretty, it was the unfortunate placement of the masterpiece that made viewers take a second look - as they wrongly assumed it was pubic hair at first.
With their jaws on the floor, over a thousand people flooded to comments, where one wrote: ''I thought your tattoo was pubes. Hope this helps.''
Someone else was just as shocked, writing: ''i thought your tattoo was hair at first.''
''Everyone saying the tattoos look like hair but I thought it was a bunch of spiders,'' another chimed in.

''is that a tattoo or art deco esque pubes?'' a social media user wondered.
What are the dangers of wearing corsets?
Wearing corsets, a fashion practice that dates back centuries, can pose significant medical risks despite their aesthetic appeal.
One of the primary concerns is the potential for internal organ damage.
Corsets, especially when tightly laced, can compress the ribs and exert pressure on internal organs such as the liver, stomach, and intestines.
This compression can lead to displacement and deformation of these organs, potentially causing digestive issues, reduced lung capacity, and impaired circulation.
Breathing difficulties are another serious risk associated with corset use.
The constriction of the rib cage can limit the expansion of the lungs, leading to shallow breathing and decreased oxygen intake.
Which tattoos hurt the most?
Depending on what part of your body you choose to ink, tattoos can range significantly in terms of pain levels.
Some of the most painful areas are those where the skin tends to be thinner or closer to the bone.
Each area has specific factors which contribute to the level of pain.
Ribcage: Thin skin, little muscle, and many nerve endings.
Feet and ankles: Many bones, tendons, and nerve endings close to the surface.
Hands and fingers: Many bones, tendons, and nerve endings, resulting in increased pain during tattooing. Knuckles can be especially painful.
Spine: Proximity of the spinal cord and nerve endings makes it sensitive. Tattooing directly over the vertebrae can be especially painful.
Knees and elbows: Thin skin and little padding between the skin and the underlying bones.
Armpits and groin: High concentration of nerve endings and lymph nodes.
Neck and throat: Thin and sensitive skin, with many nerve endings and blood vessels close to the surface.

Over time, this can result in respiratory problems and reduced stamina.
In extreme cases, prolonged use of tightly laced corsets can lead to conditions like atelectasis, where parts of the lungs collapse due to inadequate ventilation.
Additionally, corsets can affect the musculoskeletal system.
The constant pressure and altered posture imposed by a corset can weaken core muscles, leading to muscle atrophy and decreased strength.
This can result in long-term back pain and poor posture once the corset is removed.
There is also a risk of nerve compression, which can lead to numbness, tingling, and in severe cases, nerve damage.
While modern corsets are often designed to be less restrictive than their historical counterparts, the potential health risks remain.

It is essential for individuals to be aware of these risks and to use corsets sparingly and with caution.
Consulting with medical professionals before incorporating corsets into regular wear can help mitigate some of these risks and ensure that any adverse effects are promptly addressed.
