I wanted a pentagram for my first ever tattoo but after doing it myself I’ve ended up with a VERY different symbol
AN occult fan is counting the cost after a botched DIY tattoo left her with the wrong symbol permanently inked on her body.
Sally said she wanted a pentagram - a five-pointed star associated with devil-worship - for her first ever piece of body art.
Sally shared a picture of the DIY ink online, and captioned it: "So I got my first tatto (home job)."
But she was mortified when a pal asked why she had chosen a six-pointed Star of David, a common symbol in Judaism.
Sally insisted it was a pentagram but the friend explained: "Penta - 5 points. Yours has 6 which makes it the star of david."
Aghast, Sally replied: "I'm sorry what?" and a horrified face emoji.
