At just 21 years old, a Florida woman’s face got tattooed without her consent, leaving her with no choice but to cover up those unpleasant markings with dark, black ink. One day, however, a kind stranger extended a helping hand, and that made a huge difference in her life.
Meet Taylor White, a woman whose face got tattooed without her consent.
Taylor White says that she got unwanted tattoos on her face at the age of 21. She tells a story of having a boyfriend who was mean to her. On her 21st birthday, she went out to celebrate, but her boyfriend and his friends did something bad.
The young woman can’t remember everything clearly, but she woke up in the hotel feeling very hurt, thinking something bad happened to her. To her shock, when she looked in the mirror, she saw that her face had really awful tattoos on it.
Fortunately, a kind stranger is helping her remove these tattoos.
She made an effort to conceal the tattoos with makeup. But her boss noticed them showing through it, and that’s when she realized she couldn’t keep living like that. Her boss told her, “You can’t live like this,” and he offered to cover up the tattoos with blackout ink, so she could have a “normal life.” She agreed to this in 2008, but even then, she kept getting turned down for jobs.
Then, something remarkable happened. A TikTok user called TheDadBot accidentally came across her livestream. He had heard her story and seen her videos about her bipolar disorder, and he felt the need to help Taylor.
Surprisingly, Removery offered the procedure for free, normally a costly service.
Karridy noted in an interview that the challenges Taylor faced had a noticeable personal impact on her. He believed that these challenges were hindering her from reaching her full potential. Karridy also generously offered to cover the expenses of the tattoo removal and reached out to multiple clinics to assist with the laser surgery.
Incredibly, Removery, a laser tattoo-removal company, agreed to provide the removal procedure for free, which would typically cost thousands of dollars.
She isn’t doing this solely for her appearance.
Carmen VanderHeiden Brodie, the VP of Clinical Operations at Removery, mentioned that it might take up to two years for Taylor to become tattoo-free. However, during her initial session, Taylor was seen ’smiling.’
But this doesn’t make Taylor discourage. She has new aspirations after the tattoo removal and now aims to work in the mental health care field. At 37 years old, Taylor explained, “I’m not having it removed purely for cosmetic reasons. This is really removing a part of me that I no longer represent or live in.”
Taylor’s story is pretty amazing. She didn’t give up, and that’s something we can all admire. It’s not just about making her face look better; it’s about leaving behind a tough part of her life and moving forward.
It is super cool that she even wants to help others with their mental health. And you know what? Everyone should be treated nicely, just like Taylor is showing us.
