We have already told you here that since the wonderful victory in the World Cup, there has been a huge demand for tattoos in the image of Lionel Messi in Argentina.

This desire crossed countries, unsurprisingly, but not everyone is satisfied with the decision they made.

One such is the Colombian influencer Mike Humbes, who chose to tattoo Messi's name on his face, about a week and a half ago, next to three stars on one cheek (for every victory of Argentina in the World Cup), and on the other cheek, D10S (a combination of the Spanish word for God, and the jersey number of the flea).

After posting the video documenting the making of the tattoo on his Instagram account, Humves received quite a bit of criticism.

First, he defended his decision and wrote: "I didn't hurt anyone, I didn't do anything illegal."

But the next day, he already sounded different.

"I regret the tattoo," he admitted in another video he published.

"Instead of it bringing positive things, it led to many negative things, both for me personally and for my family. I wish I could erase this tattoo. In the first days I felt very proud of what I did, but I regret it."

why?

Because according to Hambes, "I was laughed at, humiliated, even threatened, all because of the video I uploaded. People said I was a bad example for humanity. People said I would regret this tattoo, and now I have to agree with them. I need your help, the viewers, on how It can be removed."
