A London influencer and lookalike who is a dead ringer for Kylie Jenner has decided to get her tattoo removed as people are now “comparing her body to a product”.
Julia Medeiros, 22, who lives in London but is originally from Brazil, recently went viral online after sharing photos of herself and the famous reality TV star.
The influencer, who has 13,800 followers on Instagram, is used to being showered with compliments by fans but has found herself in hot water after revealing a bizarre tattoo choice.
Julia got a makeshift ‘label’ inked on her bum with the phrase ‘Made in Brazil’ – but now sorely regrets it.
“[I got the tattoo] because I wanted to immortalise in my skin my country of which I am very proud to be Brazilian and how a beautiful and giant country like this could only be immortalised where?,” she told Jam Press.
“On my ass obviously.
“[But] I chose a tattoo that sexualises women, I regret it.”
The model got the ink before participating in the recording of a music video in the UK.
After sharing the fresh ink on Instagram, Julia claims to have received several DMs from people comparing her to a product.
She said: “As the recording was with women in bikinis from several countries, I wanted to highlight mine showing that I was Brazilian.
“Today I regret it a lot, without thinking about the consequence.
“On the internet, judgments are pretty heavy.”
The caption on the post revealing the tattoo is a homage to her home country, reading: “Home to the Amazon river, the world’s largest river by volume of water flow and in places, up to 30 miles wide!
“Where you got the worlds best beach (according to trip advisor). Where soccer – is by far the most popular sport.
“The largest country in South America. The world’s fifth largest country
“Where people fall in love in a very intense way. Where the Carnival held each year in Rio de Janeiro, is considered to be the largest carnival in the world
“Where people are happy regardless of the life they have. Where you wake up almost every day of the year with the sun shining through your window
“This is where I were made in, made in Brazil.”
Not everyone dislikes the ink though and Julia claims to be the only person with this particular design on her behind.
“I liked,” wrote one person, while others commented with multiple fire emojis.
“The best Brazil love girl SP,” wrote someone else, adding a Brazil flag.
The tattoo cost £200 but the lookalike will have to shell out even more in coming months – as she now intends to have it removed.
Tattoo removal can start from prices such as £50 per session for minor inkings.
The financial hit isn’t likely to be an issue for the cam girl, who rakes in £74,000 a month.
But Julia worries about how it may affect her future relationships.
She added: “[Some] people love it, so far it’s one of the only authentic tattoo that no one has the same or at least similar.
“I’m currently the only person in the world with a ‘made in Brazil’ stamp on my ass.
“[I want to get it removed] because one day I want to get married, have children and build a family.
“I know that one day I will have to mature and this tattoo will no longer be a part of who I will be.
“I intend to take it off.”
Social media users can’t get enough of the lookalike either, with the model bombarded by DMs from people who say she is the “Brazilian Kylie Jenner”.
Julia added: “I think it’s funny, because a lot of people around here [London] think I look like her.
“It was only since I moved to the UK four years ago that I started to get told it.
“I think in Brazil there’s a similar kind of look, so people don’t point it out.”
