A U.K. woman who used a skeleton facial tattoo for Halloween is second-guessing her costume choice because no matter how many times she scrubbed it, it wouldn’t come off, potentially leaving her “scarred” for work the next day.
TikToker Elizabeth Rose placed a stitched-up wound and skeletal teeth across her mouth and forehead not thinking about how she would remove them. What’s more, she used the same stickers on her young granddaughter.
Rose, 46, posted the video of her desperation with the caption: “Put a tattoo sticker on, join in a bit of Halloween, you know? Put some on my granddaughter as well, she’s seven, and my daughter rings up going ‘How does it come off?’.”

Seemingly unaware of how to remove temporary tattoos, she takes a dry makeup remover pad and attempts to scrub off the eerie smile. “F**k sake, I have meetings tomorrow,” she says.
Feeling her struggle, viewers had some home remedies. They advised her to use everything from packing tape to acetone to olive oil, and even vodka. It’s not clear how she finally got the original marks off of her face, but in a follow-up video she puts another one on to test out some of the above suggestions, but she didn’t get very far. After applying the packing tape to her face, sticky side out, the tattoo easily came away from her skin.
“What the f**k, shut the front door!” Rose says in disbelief at the results. “Do you know what? I don’t think I can be bothered to try the nail varnish remover, anti-bac, or olive oil. I might as well drink the vodka and be done with it.”
