The fact that you got the tattoo, got it covered up, got it again, and covered it again is really interesting representation of what the path of healing looks like. Growth and healing is never a straight path ♥️
YES - very much this
uaau true
Very true.
As a therapist, this is just such a beautiful and real way to talk about and represent healing❤️
That is something like a mental circus up there.
I like that it’s not fully covered up. You acknowledge the past and the cover up was a way to tell that that chapter has closed.
SCREAMING FOR ATTENTION
@@stojo33 STOP SCREAMING FOR ATTENTION
@@igotnoshoesimhomeless9155 don't give them the attention then...
@@maebunny5298 it was a joke… 💀
@@igotnoshoesimhomeless9155 so was mine bro 💀💀
I always assumed the vibe of the Antichrist tattoo was more “i don’t care that you think of me as the antichrist” i never knew it was more like “this is what she thinks of me.” Makes sense the weight it had on you and I’m glad your coverup makes you feel free and confident ❤️ queen shit ✨
Queen shit indeed!
I thought of the song
I don't know if it was intentional but it is very fitting that the cover-up tattoo resembles the thorn crown that jesus wore, and rests on top of the words "i am the antichrist to you." I love the juxtaposition of those polar opposite symbolisms. It is sort of a bittersweet nod to the heartbreak/religious tie to the past incident, and a step toward rebirth and celebrating who you are now.
WOW. Wow. This is such a beautiful take.
Yes, I had the same thought.
I thought the same exact thing.
Wow! Ok that's fucking beautiful. 💜
I instantly thought this too
“ i imploded into myself like a dying star”. what a VISUAL that creates in my mind. wow. i’m currently grieving from a relationship with my “first” love, and this kinda just.. transmuted all these heavy feelings of loveless-ness i’ve been carrying around. i am a supernova, and i’m excited to see who i will become once i’m done..imploding lol. this feels poetic. thank u mei ❤️
that’s so beautiful :’) i think that’s why they call it “first” love because there’s always room for a second, third, fourth, etc and it doesn’t have to be someone else. your next love could always be yourself 🌟
Just broke up with bff. It’s been more than 10 years…. same feeling about this words. THATS how my current condition can be explained
YOU ARE A SUPERNOVA!!!!!
this world is full wonderful people, it's just God wants to give you a better human ❤️
I love you all, y'all are so beautiful❤️ wishing you the best, time heals everything!!
I actually knew you as the girl with the symmetrical tattoos! Saw you do that camera flipping trend on tik tok and was mesmerized.
YOO, I DIDN'T EVEN NOTIICE
woah I didn't realize
Same! I didn’t know she had a RUclips channel until now. :D
Same! It unlocked memories of me as a kid picking coloring pages with symmetry and coloring the in with symmetry. I followed her because her symmetrical tattoos go hard.
Dude I noticed that her tattoos were symmetrical almost instantly cause I started to compare the tattoos to each other and that was when it clicked in my head lol. I think it’s pretty cool I’ve never seen anyone do their tattoos like that before.
I think having a personal and complicated story around a tattoo you'll carry with you is incredibly meaningful, I can't think of anything more poetic
this is a very sweet comment, Duncan you always impress me 💜
Duncan! Fancy meeting you here.
ALL OF YOUR TATTOOS ARE SO PRETTY including the new coverup!
thank you so so so much!!!
As a Christian, that is not how we are taught to talk to people. I'm sorry you had that experience. We have our beliefs and maybe some people are a lot more out there with their views, but making statements like that is not for us to make, that's not our right at all. It's good to know you're doing well now, and your tattoos look so cool
if your 'beliefs' are as oppressive as the loud christians' then you're just as bad as them. keeping the christian taught hate to yourself instead of letting it out on other people isn't any better.
amen!! Jesus walked and spoke with such love and grace and He wants us to do the same
tbh it is really disappointing to see how many american christian’s have replaced their pursuit of christ with idolizing political figures that are clearly vying for social dominance and control. sad how christian’s are known for their hate and not love.
Amen, and I feel so so sorry for people who are forced into or attacked by religious people. I'm so glad she's moved on from that time, God literally says everyone is a sinner and NOT to force religion on others.
As a Christian myself no one deserves to be spoken to like that we are called to show love to people not hate
"I imploded within myself like a dying star" - that is such a gorgeous way of describing what that sort of pain feels like.
it is actually an office quote from season 3 ! "i date michael scott publicly and collapse in on myself like a dying star"
I never thought of you as the girl with the antichrist tattoo, I think of you as the girl with the most calming voice ever and a chill, thoughtful vibe
I think its so cool that you let a couple letters peek out from behind the cover up. Beautifully represents acknowledgement of your past while still moving on towards the future ✨
I feel like you have evolved so much as a person (from a loyal viewers point of view) since you got the original tattoo. The tattoo marked a significant point in your life, even if it was from a negative place. Now, you are probably the happiest you have been in life and that tattoo has served its purpose. It's your body at the end of the day, so you get to make all the decisions. I'm wishing you all the happiness in the world on your journey and too many more momentous tattoos :)
“I am the antichrist to you” goes so hard when I think about it but maturing and wanting to move passed it is such a valid reason to cover it up and I’m glad you could cleanse the negativity it meant to you. ❤️🔥
Thanks for being open and vulnerable about your experience! I'm really glad that you're able to move forward, and I appreciate how much you advocate for being in control of one's body and appearance! You actually inspired me to shave my head and start dressing and looking the way I want to. Keep up the amazing work :))
that makes my heart so happy you have no idea
I really love the symbolism of the cover up as well. You closed the door, sealed it shut without erasing the story behind it completely and moved on to something new. A better, more positive future.
You are a “5’ 3 1/2”, bald, heavily tattooed Asian woman” who is an amazing young lady! I look forward to all your vids!
Your type of healing is something I hope to achieve someday. It’s evident that you are much more content and comfortable with yourself and in your body, AND your tattoos are all beautiful. Meanwhile, I’m still in the stage of being spiteful and unforgiving towards those who’ve hurt me..
No human worth your time and energy. They did hurt you, but now you keep hurting yourself. Don't make them happy, by being unhappy. Rise over the trashes. Forgiving is the best charity. Being happy is the best revenge.
I find it interesting that to some people that tattoo could be offensive, considering it's those same people who would prompt you to get it. To me personally the quote would be empowering, but obviously as you said we all have preconceived notions. It's great to see you grow!
It’s so cool that you got the tattoo originally as a form of controlling the past, and now your coverup is an exertion of control over your future 🖤
Mei, it warms my heart to hear about your healing and growth, and I am incredibly happy and supportive of you. As someone who is firm in their Christian faith, I sincerely apologize that she treated you this way. Regardless of whether or not she wanted to reciprocate feelings towards you, she should have NEVER been so harsh, hateful, and evil in her response. It disturbs me that there are people who claim to love the same Jesus that I do, yet they treat people this way and don’t care about the damage it causes. Please know, that you are loved, valued, and supported, and deserve to be treated far more kindly than that. Sending you so much love as you continue to heal, grow, and feel positively about yourself. I believe in you my friend!
Man im honestly ashamed of how other fellow Christians act. I remember this one time my friend found out i was a Christian and was surprised because she said all the other Christians she knew would be horrible to her because of her lifestyle... which made me quite sad since its not our place as people to judge or shame others just because of how they live or what they believe in. Anyway i love the new tattoo!! I think it looks great!
Christians more than often can be so callus and unforgiving... Contrary to how Jesus actually taught😩
Because they’re actually not real Christians.
Yeah...that part
@@fitafries7274 A lot of christians are like that(from my personal experiences and from what I’ve seen online)and too many are like that actually.They believe that they are real Christians too and they are following what they have been taught since they were born.
We as Christians have to understand that we need to carry love as always and not being so judgemental on others even though they are different and her story really breaks my heart because she was coming with good intentions and she was rejected with all that hatred
Any religion if they are diehards and super conservative sadly. Not every religious person grows with society sadly.
I left christianity kinda for this reason and converted to Buddhism. I can't bring myself to believe in a God and all those rules and non-accepting stuff isn't for me.
In Buddhism I feel way more in my place haha.
I don’t know how to describe it but you look like a piece of art to me. I remember the first time I came across your Instagram account, you looked to me like a board full of so much sentiment and individualism yet so transparent and ready to show yourself as you are, which is gorgeous. I never followed you nor watched your videos before, but this made me realize you have such a nice aura, plus I like the sound of your voice. Glad to hear you’re feeling happy.
Mei: “Hi I’m Mei like the month.”
Me: okay hi I’m Cat and I’m in love 😍
I could hear you talk for hours, you have such a calming energy and it's amazing everything you've accomplished and how happy you look with the changes you've made in your life 💗
I really hate that the brands rejected you because of that tattoo. I get why, but it still pisses me off. At the same time, I'm glad it feels like moving on for you! Knowing the heartbreaking situation behind it makes me so viscerally angry. It hits close to home for me-though I am in a different spot now and fully healed : ) It makes me happy to know that you're in a good spot now too!
Everyone should be able to express themselves as they please when it comes to tattoos, but these brands were most likely afraid of getting backlash from Christians and Muslims since Jesus Christ is an important person in both religions.
Hell yes to constantly evolving! You are such a beautiful inspiration 🤍
this popped up in my recommended, good on you covering a tattoo that wasn't serving you.
I absolutely love how symmetrical your tattoos are, it's so striking
I didn't know that there was a specific term for a cover up that doesn't fully cover the old tattoo, you learn something new everyday! Also really happy for you moving on and growing, I love that you look like such a tough punk but are actually so sensitive and reflective etc - inspiring my own growth and self expression
Don't worry about not scripting your videos, they have a really natural flow to them that makes it feel like we're just pals catching up and it's nice ^-^ It's a cozy vibe! I think we all talk in circles a little bit, wanting to make sure that we're expressing ourselves exactly the way we want to, nothing wrong with that
kishi bashi's 'i am the antichrist to you' is the most beautiful song and even though the tattoo was done out of hurt and anguish, to me, you having it covered up and that bringing you freedom reminds me of the beauty and freedom of the instrumentals of the song and i think kishi himself would love that almost rebirth and growth that has come from the cover up for you. your tattoos are beautiful and so inspiring to me, so thank you. have a great day.
As a Christian myself, I want to assure you that there is absolutely nothing wrong with you or your sexuality. You are so strong and you are also one of the most beautiful women I’ve ever seen in my life.
I’m here for the healing honestly. I reallly wish peace on your mind, heart, and soul.
This was my first ever time I've ever seen a blast over tattoo coverup (is that terminology correct?), and it was actually really heartwarming, and empowering to see. Thank you so much for sharing this chapter in your life and divulging so much of your life to us!! You're truly inspiring Mei♡
These experiences hurt so much but you have learned and grown so much since then and you’re stronger for it! Good for you for recognizing that that piece didn’t represent who you were anymore, negativity has its place in our lives but we can’t make it our main focus of life, love you and keep doing great things💖💖
I love how romantic your vocabulary and voice is, total main character
I was PATIENTLY waiting to hear your response about it. I am always glad to see and hear your growing path Mei
i loved hearing you say “i’m good” like 6 times, it just felt nice lmao
This is really major! I’m so glad that you feel positive and good now. I admit I was taken aback when I first saw you and your tattoo online, but, I stuck around and loved your content regardless. The coverup is really beautiful and I think it’s poetic how you can still sort of see the original underneath.
Your ‘controversial’ tattoo I think is stunning and beautiful. Definitely inspired me to get a similar tattoo myself. The cover up is just as stunning.
Damn, love, this popped up in my recommended today. Hadn’t seen you on social media before, nor had I seen the tattoo online, but seeing the joy in your face and the genuine happiness and sense of pride for overcoming such rough situations has truly made my day.
Same here. I hadn't see her b4 and ths vid just randomly popped up in recommended. I personally am an athiest I don't blv in god, the devil or a heaven and q hell. So for me the antichrist thing is a moot point... it's about as effective as Thor and Loki and all that is for everyone else.
Just my opinion I guess.
I believe we get ths 1 life and that's it, sadly enuff... but live and learn while u'r here!
Never clicked so fast! Lov u Mei, unconditionally!
We use tattoos as such an expression of our inner selves- a lot of us wear our insides through tattoos on the outside. I’m so sad to hear that’s what someone not only said to you but made you FEEL - what a heavy identity to feel so deeply that you had the need to express. Regardless of how it made you feel at one time, I’m proud of you for changing how you feel so much on the inside to also change the outside. There’s no shame in changing and growing and also changing tattoos that maybe once you felt defined you! I’m a new sub this video hit me on a heart level and thank you for sharing yourself ❤️ you are so beautiful! Keep revolving positivity! Side note I have a front and center heart padlock lock but it’s my only full color tattoo…that goes my entire chest lol. It’s a shoulder to shoulder piece. The rest are black and grey. My heart was hurt with the suicide of my husband and later my father. I added peonies on either sides also in color because peonies represent beauty and there is beauty with pain. And I also added dogwood flowers on the outside of the peonies representing regrowth. I carry my pain outwardly in a positive way and I appreciate this video because I feel like yours represents the same. Front and center. Pain…beauty..and regrowth ..Long winded but thank you for sharing ❤️❤️❤️
“I wanna, I wanna start over again” is an image I will hold dear to my heart; may we never meet in person in life, I’ll remember you as that Mei.
You’ll keep starting over and evolve, that holds no doubt. Thank you for sharing your growth. I share that sentiment and I can’t be more proud of you.
glad you are moving on. you’re so strong
You're so beautiful and I am glad to hear that you're growing and healing from the past. I don't think getting the tattoo necessarily was a bad thing, I think it was something you needed to go through to get out of your system. Maybe it helped you get through that pain, but it seems that you've come out of that phase and you're healing yourself. I'm so happy to hear that. I hope you find a partner that loves you for who you are, whenever you feel you're ready for that person in your life
u seen like such a kind soul, i hope for only the best for you.
YOU ARE SO GORGEOUS OK .
Friendly Correction: youre a stunning 5 foot 4 / 5 foot 3 and a 1/2 heavily tattooed asian queen! Looking forward to the next video already!
I would’ve been so surprised if nobody had ever asked her to model before. Cause I would’ve picked up a camera, learned how to properly shoot and asked her myself. She’s one of the most gorgeous people I’ve ever seen…
i’ve always known you as the girl
with the symmetrical tattoos and you’re just as cool as i always imagined you would be
It takes courage to grow past heartbreak. I hope your next chapter is full of love and adventure!
This video was so relatable for me! I have a big upside down cross tattoo on my arm that says “no masters” on it, which I got after a traumatic experience as a sort of protections shield in my early 20s. Though I will always love and be proud of the 21 year old me that was so bold and strong and got that tattoo. But as I am in my early 30s now and just a very different person in so many ways, I’ve been getting it removed slowly for a couple of years. I feel a special affinity to a fellow woman who had such a bold taboo tattoo in such a prominent place! Its definitely a warrior vibe and I respect that and respect the ability to transform as well.
I'm happy for you! Such a grown decision ❤️
The cover up is really pretty, it flows so nicely on your collar bone. I am happy you're able to grow and move on from past trauma. Heartbreak is a deep wound to heal.
I love how you express growth, and I'm here for it. You seem so down to Earth and the way you carry yourself is inspiring. I like how it's not fully covered, it really shows that even though you moved on, you still have the memories and they made you the person you are today. I also think it's great how mature you are about brands refusing to work with you, but in the end, it's their loss! You look amazing and just seem so nice, I wish you all the best :)
I am so so happy for you that you are doing better! Totally understand that you want to move on by covering up an old tattoo that reminds you of a negative time. You can be proud of yourself at how far you’ve come!!
first!! hi!! also you're body is your own and you owe no explanation to anyone for what you do with it
Hearing people’s journey and how they’re much happier now just makes me feel so so happy. This is the first time I’ve come across your channel but there’s something about hearing you talk about currently being in a better place in life both mentally/physically just makes me feel genuine happiness for you. Thank you for sharing your story
Aw I can see ur pure happiness like when u can’t help but smile🥺
I love it!!! Especially the effect of there still being a whisper of the lettering there, it’s like a nod to the past but you’re free from it at the same time.
I’ve never been here so fast lol ten seconds after posting, love to hear you rambling and telling stories, your voice is so calming, I’m really happy you feel happy and past having that tattoo♥️
i love how you carry yourself! your energy and the softness of your voice, honestly this feels like a safe space. i love it here
Second video of yours I have seen. The first was on aftercare for tattoos, which I enjoyed. Thus wanted to see more. I’m 49 years old and life has recently thrown me a curve ball, getting divorced. What I really enjoyed about this video and the first is your energy. Your smiling, enthusiastic and have a great outlook. I really enjoyed hearing you say “ I’m good “. Sounds silly but that statement n how you said it sounded honest and true. What I getting at is, life has changed for me, getting divorced was not in my Master plan. I’m not completely down, getting up as they say is the hardest part. I don’t know when, but I know I will say “I’m good “ as you did. So Thank you,
this video hit heavy for me. I see my past self in your first love and I see my current self in you.
Your tattoos are sick. Rad style and suit you really well.
I LOVEEE THAT YOU KNOW KISHI BASHI. He is such a dope guy. Also- want to encourage. Religions trauma is no joke, even if it’s second hand- Jesus hates it too. You rock girl :)
I love that your tattoos are all symmetrical! And thank you so much for sharing your story, because being vulnerable is so tough. So glad you’ve moved on and forward for bigger better things. All love to you, Mei
That tattoo made me feel such a sense of calm like I was looking at a massive bolder.
I’m so happy you left it peeking through but u deserve all the goodness the world has to offer. Ur brilliant. Proud of u
Edit. I wish I was your high school crush/Love 🥺
mei!! you’re words are so amazing. as someone who is constantly fixated on the past the video helped me realize how important and how special looking to the future can be
Glad you are moving on, evolving past your past especially a past filled with anger, and spite, and shame, and hatred, and alienation is hard to do. It is spectacular to hear you are evolving, I hope to do that one day too
Not a big fan of blast over pieces but I bet it’ll look gorgeous once healed anyway! Happy ur moving on from your past negative experiences! Hope this opens up more opportunities for you too! 💕
So glad u have healed to the point of covering up that past hurtful words but taking forward the lesson and truth you learnt. The cover up is stunning!
When I saw the cover up, I immediately though "ah cool, she's let go of it". The first time I heard the story, it was so awful, I think about it often. Ergh, I loved this video, great ending. It makes me so happy to know that you're feeling healed ❤️
This is SO beautiful! I'm glad to see your evolution ❤️ and ALSO: WHAT A SMILE OOF ❤️
I think the fact that it’s a blast over and you can see the letter speaking through is quite symbolic to what your growth has looked like!
Ah I'm happy for you Mei!!
I never realised people read it that way, that must feel like a huge relief xx
Maybe a weird request, but could you make a video about how to heal Tattoos in "awkward" places like the hips, butt ect.?
👁👄👁➕➖✖️➗❔
I guess a tip would be to put a breathable patch over any tattoo that would "rub" like on your feet, but take it off and let it breathe when you're home. Its also summer so I really wouldn't recommend getting one with all the sweat and heat making things a great bacteria garden
Wow, what an incredible story of growth and self acceptance!! Thank you for sharing... And YOU ARE PRETTY!!!!
You are so beautiful, dear fellow sister in recovery! Congrats on your clean time and on buying a house and just on moving forward. You are radiating and I’m here for it. Wishing you all the best 💜 I have been struggling w opioid addiction for the past 21 years and I am currently clean (4 months) as well.
I'm so sorry you went through that.
So happy you were able to move on from your past
You. Are. So. Beautiful. You deserve anything that bring joy to your heart.
Ur story is so poetic and the way you describe things…. Gotto follow u for that :)
Glad you feel better. And as always, we'll watch your growth and cheer silently for you.
honestly i love it, it really brings out a beautiful shape to your neck/shoulders! here’s to evolving 🥂
Im proud of you Mei! Im glad that you were able to close the chapter of something that had such a negative effect on you for so long. (I honestly lowkey loved the tattoo bc i though u got it as a big “F U” to anyone who judged you on your appearance) although i never knew it went so deep. Im glad you’re doing better💞
Mei you are a walking poem. The way you talk, the way you look, the way you move. So soft, so beautiful.
the way you casually say "i imploded within myself like a dying star"
Definitely cute that the tattoo still peeks through. You’re amazing! You’re walking art!!
Thank you for being so open, I don't have tattoos, but your message about covering it up was so meaningful, defo has me reflecting on things.
It looks amazing, you're beautiful and amazing, and just thank you 💕 much love💕
I can relate to this. Being so angry at the past. Thank you for sharing this.
You sound content and at peace. Good for you. Thank you for sharing your story through your words and being open about your art on your body! Constantly inspired by you and proud of ya!
Your vid randomly popped up on my feed and I decided to watch. Just wanted to say, you go girl! You give off such a calm and confident energy and i find it really beautiful. I'm glad you are finding your way and are able to heal from the past :) I wish you the best of luck love
I lost a handful of my early adult years to depression brought on by heartbreak. I look back at that time with so many regrets. But it transformed my understanding of myself. Sometimes it takes battle scars to become beautiful. Thank you for sharing your story.
ugh i revel in you, you are such a beautiful person and just radiate this immense glow
You have the most calming voice! I am Canadian and live in Ontario I have seen you on social medias all over. My friend Ciera also is in makeup and collaborated with brands, so I saw you shared years ago and have been a supporter!! Love this back story the fact you did not fully cover it up is so beautiful!!
all of your tattoos look so creative! you inspire me sooo much, i think you're a very creative being, thanks for sharing your experience with us
I didn't even notice you had those words, found your content recently on TikTok with the completely bloody awesome inverted video. I'm glad that you have grown from this experience and I am so sorry that happened to you. I wish you all the best with your future endeavours and hopefully you'll land more modelling gigs
Is it me or is her voice so soothing to listen to?
I love all your tattoos 😍 I really liked that phrase but if it doesn’t suit you anymore, I’m glad of your decision. You’re awesome, greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽
