Tattoo Fixers contestant speaks out after Twitter trolls bombarded her with ‘s**t-shaming’ abuse for her ‘s*** tag’ tattoo
Jessica Parr slammed them as ‘pathetic’ as she defiantly retweeted each post
Tattoo Fixers contestant Jessica Parr has spoken out after being bombarded with abuse by Twitter trolls over her ‘s*** tag’ tattoo.
Jessica, 21, went on the show to have her inked mistake turned into something more respectable but soon found herself being trolled after the episode aired.
Her “b**ches wanna be me guys wanna f**k me” tattoo, which had been inked just above her vagina, triggered a barrage of nasty comments on the social media site.
Viewers called her a “s**g” when she revealed her tattoo on the E4 show which aired on Tuesday night.
But rather than let them get her down, Jessica defiantly retweeted each abusive post and slammed her haters as “pathetic s**t-shamers".
Speaking to the Sun Online, she said: “I’ve been called all sorts of names, from ‘s**g’ to ‘s***k dumpster’ – it’s disgusting.
“The panel on the show were getting abuse for jokingly calling me a ‘s**g’ but they have nothing to apologise for, they were lovely and we were all having a laugh.
“It’s the trolls who are bombarding me with tweets telling me I’m a s**g when they know nothing about me who should be ashamed. They’re the real s**t-shamers.
“But I refuse to rise to it or let the comments ruin my experience on the show.”
Viewers saw her nervously enter the studio, this time located abroad to fit in with the holiday theme of the series, to ask Sketch, Jay and Alice: “I’ve got a disgusting tattoo and it makes me look like a right s**t”, before describing an inking she’d had etched above her vagina during a holiday in Ayia Napa eight years ago.
Receptionist Paisley asked: “So you’re not a s**t?” before artist Sketch told Jess she doesn’t “look like a s**t”.
Moments later, she revealed the etching, which read: The controversial tatt read: ‘B****es wanna be me guys wanna f**k me”.
Speaking about the barrage of abuse that followed, she said: “It was so predictable. Trolls spammed my feed calling me a s**g and a s**t based on one tattoo I’d had done years ago while on holiday.
“They’ve never met me or spoken to me yet they thought it was okay to call me disgusting names.

Jess said: “I’m shocked that the original tatt has generated so much attention – I was only young when I had it done and I was there to have it removed, so what’s the problem?
“People who take the time to do that are pathetic and I refuse to let them make me feel small, so I retweeted every single one.”
Defying the trolls, Jess also uploaded a photo to the site on Tuesday night with Sketch and Paisley and the caption: ‘Fab time in Malia for #tattoofixers loved my cover up!! Bring on the slut abuse #jealouslot #hatersgonnahate’.
“For whatever reason those trolls were trying to bring me down and make me feel like rubbish. But my experience on the show was amazing and I won’t let them ruin it.
“I had a fab time and came back with a beautiful tattoo – which is exactly what I applied for.”
