A woman has gone viral after spending hours colouring in her boyfriend’s tattoos.
Scoobie Sousa, 22, has spent four years, 500 hours and £97,000 ($125,000) on his ink – but still hasn’t finished his masterpiece.
So, his girlfriend, Maggie Moodie, 24, decided to take matters into her own hands in a most unusual way.
Swapping a tattoo needle for permanent markers, the influencer and model painstakingly fill in each section of her partner’s ink for hours to create a stained glass mandala.
And the result has left social media users stunned, with 859,800 views and over 108,000 likes.
“I’ve been wanting to colour it in as I’ve been doing art for many years now,” Maggie, who first got the idea after a fellow TikToker suggested it, told NeedToKnow.co.uk.
“Once I got a comment on TikTok suggesting we do it, I pretty much grabbed a pack of markers right away.
“You gotta give the people what they want.
“It took me like two to three hours to do it and I tried my best to blend it all together with a wet Q tip.”
Scoobie first started work on his tattoos in 2019, having sat through 60 sessions so far.
Although not yet finished with his vision, he was more than happy to let his girlfriend give it her own spin.
The duo, who live in Los Angeles, California, met in February this year and moved in just months later, in April.
Maggie said: “We have several videos going viral together right now.
“We just dyed-matched our hair together and people are loving the content in our newly-found relationship.
“We met in February of this year and moved in together in April.
“I was surprised that he’s a year and a half younger than me.”
Sharing their art project on TikTok, the couple have seen the video blow up with hundreds of comments from mesmerised users.
“This is so cool! My daughter does this to mine but now I feel like I need to book an appointment,” said one person.
Marissa added: “The way you colored them in is so pretty.”
“Poor bae gonna get ink poisoning, it’s pretty af tho,” said Elizabeth. [sic]
“Do this for a rave,” suggested Amanda.
Another person wrote: “My man’s to ticklish he couldn’t sit for that tatt or the coloring he’d throw me.” [sic]
One viewer added “Get glow in the dark markers and do it under a black light.”
“So beautiful omg and you can wash him off and change up the colours! Taking my man to the tattoo parlour rn,” commented someone else. [sic]
Madison said: “Looks hecka cool maybe smudging with a finger when applied will blend.” [sic]
“Exactly why I’m not doing colored tats. I wanna be a coloring book for my future children,” wrote Dalton. [sic]
