A young woman’s casual decision to get a trendy pineapple tattoo spirals into a global spectacle after she discovers its shocking secret meaning.
Tattoos have seen a surge in popularity in recent years, with thirty-six percent of American adults aged eighteen to twenty-nine boasting at least one. While these tattoos often hold deep personal meanings or are simply an expression of style, one TikToker’s inked nightmare went viral after she discovered the shocking hidden meaning behind her wrist tattoo.
Brittany Lewin, hailing from Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia, found herself unwittingly sporting a symbol for swingers—an upside-down pineapple tattoo.
In her now-viral TikTok video, Lewin reveals her regret and warns others not to repeat her mistake. The revelation came about during a conversation with a TikTok follower who inquired about her tattoo, ultimately unveiling its clandestine meaning.
Lamenting her decision, Brittany captioned her video, “I’ve made a mistake, besties.”
At the time of getting inked, Lewin remained oblivious to the tattoo’s secret significance. In the video, she explains, “So apparently, if you have an upside-down pineapple tattoo, it means you’re in the swingers community.”
Initially considering her tattoo as innocuous, Brittany was horrified to learn that she inadvertently etched a secret sign onto her body. Now, unless she opts for the painful process of tattoo removal, she’s stuck with the swinger symbol for life.
The story of Brittany’s tattoo mishap has garnered tens of thousands of views, spreading from Australia to America. The viral TikTok video attracted comments from global followers, with one person stating, “‘I’ve thought this every video I’ve seen of you. I just thought each to their own.”
While some found humor in the bizarre tale, others pointed out that the tattoo’s meaning wasn’t exactly a secret and had been widely discussed online for years.
Regardless of one’s reaction to Lewin’s tattoo, the story serves as a cautionary tale about thoroughly researching before committing to permanent ink.
The viral TikTok video inspired a plethora of comments, many of which faulted Brittany for not conducting adequate research before getting her tattoo. However, some sympathized with the young Australian’s plight and didn’t blame her for being unaware of the secret meaning.
One TikTok user commented on Lewin’s upside-down pineapple tattoo, saying, “Every time I see the tattoo, I was thinking to myself, ‘does she know.’”
Another chimed in, “I always thought you and James were just into some extra fun stuff. Lol, I’m sad that you didn’t actually know.”
One user offered a creative solution: “Just turn [the tattoo] into Spongebob’s house and add some seashells.”
“Omg, same. I was just waiting for you to figure it out,”another person wrote.
A sympathetic TikTok user concluded, “I feel so bad for you.”
