- Thoughts?
(laughing)
(bubbling)
- There's a couple of things
I just need to take you through here.
So first of all, I came across this company,
must be like two years ago and I've been
like following them on Instagram ever since,
keeping meaning to buy something, never did.
They're supposed to look like real tattoos,
they go better than temporary tattoos,
they're better than henna.
A couple of companies like this have risen
since I came across these.
But the cool thing about Inkbox is, not only
do they have free hand ink that you can get,
free hand ink that you can get.
They also have a tattoo designer thing on
their website, you can just upload a picture
and get a tattoo of it.
So I thought wouldn't it be wild,
if I got a really bad tattoo.
And didn't tell my husband that it was fake.
Then I thought, what's a bad tattoo?
Like, isn't it all subjective?
And then I figured, I really love playing tag Rugby.
If you don't know what tag Rugby is,
it's a non-contact version of Rugby
that's not even classed as a sport
in this Country, I'm in Ireland.
It's classed as a hobby.
Something I'm probably not going to be able
to play at any sort of competitive level
for very long, 'cause I'm already thirty years of age.
So I thought, with all that in mind,
it'd be pretty stupid to get your
tag Rugby club logo tattooed on yourself,
wouldn't it?
(Velcro sound)
Oh, that's a real (Velcro noise) opener.
So this is what looks like on the inside,
let's get inked, and then there's a cloth,
a wipe, black gloves, nice touch.
I'm so excited to see this.
(blows air)
(snorts)
Let's talk numbers, we asked over ten thousand
customers how long their Inkbox lasts,
oh my team is called the Boks, ha ha ha ha.
Inkbox ha ha.
Most people said they lasted between nine to eleven days,
but some people said seventeen days,
those people must not wash.
I'm kind nervous about this because
A, my husband hates tattoos and has made
that very, very clear to me.
It's not something that I would do without
letting him know, first,
especially about something as stupid as this. (laughs)
So I'm kind of expecting him to get mad,
to be honest.
And then I'm like how long should I keep it up,
should I tell him immediately that it's a joke,
or should I keep going for the longest time,
and let him think I really did get that tattoo.
I'm also gonna, by the way, show all of
my teammates this as if it's real. (laughs)
Yup, it's happening.
Okay, let me shave my legs.
Alrighty, that's done.
Christ, that was hard work, that was like
shearing wolverine.
(ripping)
I watched a video, I was doing it wrong.
To be fair, when you open the box,
it says peel here, which is super misleading.
There's nowhere to even get this backing off,
I stand corrected, it's right in the corner,
it's very simple, oops.
And it all came in one go, happy fucking days.
I stick it where I want it, so I'm gonna go,
oh dear, you can only stick that once,
so let's hope that this went well.
So now it's stuck, put on gloves and peel
off the black sticker.
Open the small wipe packet.
Then wipe it over the blue fabric.
(scratching)
Make sure to dampen the entire blue area.
Tiny wipe and I don't know how damp they want it.
Should listen, should look, what's the next one?
Of the cloth bag, open, leave cloth inside
bag and microwave for ten seconds.
Cool, did not know I had to fucking microwave it.
So, I'm going to have to try to get downstairs
without drawing attention to myself.
(beep)
Once placed, the cloth should not be moved,
or else can smudge the tattoo.
Apply pressure to your tattoo for 15 minutes.
Looking like this sounds like a tall order.
Oh it's an actual cloth, oh wow.
Alrighty then.
Let's wait and see what happens.
Fifteen minutes, might watch some YouTube.
Okay, it's been 15 minutes,
I'm going to take this off before this camera dies.
Peel it off in the direction your hair grows.
Oh, that's ruined.
Presumably that's why they didn't get me
to use my towels.
Okay, Peel it off slowly.
Oh, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow
Ow, ow, ow, ow.
Okay, I'll have to put you down there for a sec.
Ow, oh.
Oh, God.
Oh dear, that doesn't look right.
I followed the instructions to put on the tattoo,
it seemed to go on all right.
Left it for about twenty-eight to forty-eight
hours for it to develop.
It did develop and then I got one like really
good day, where it really did look like a tattoo.
One day, where it was like eighty-percent there
and then after that just got like progressively worse
and today is exactly 1 week since I put it on.
and it looks like ultra-shite.
As one of my friends said, anyone who was fooled by that,
would want to take a good, long, hard look at themselves.
I put it on Saturday.
Sunday it was still kinda developing.
Monday it looked well.
I really should have showed people on Monday.
Forgot to do that.
Tuesday I remembered to show people.
So Tuesday, it was like, not as good
as Monday but it was still pretty good.
So in the pub for pints after tag Rugby,
I hit my team captain with this
and got his reaction,
and his reaction was (kissing) beautiful.
(laughing)
(man laughs)
(woman laughs)
- [Claire] Do you wanna see?
- [Man] I fucking knew it!
- [Woman] Oh my god.
- I don't believe this.
- For some reason, I'm so flattered
that he believed that I would do that and
then I wanted to go away and
pretend it was real and let the rumors spread
but I couldn't do that to anyone.
Well, I mean, I will obviously tell you
that it is fake.
(woman laughs)
So then I went home that evening
and it had been difficult actually to hide
the developing tattoo from Alex, my husband,
and I was having a shower after tag.
All delighted with myself because
I had fooled 2 of my tag friends
into thinking that I got this tattoo and
Alex walked into the room and
I didn't realize my tattoo was on show
and Alex stopped dead in his tracks and he goes,
like dead straight face, he goes,
"Did you get a fucking tattoo of the Bok's logo?"
And I actually went, "Shit!" (laughs)
Because I wasn't filming, but I actually
think that helped to sell it to him.
I had expected him to shout.
He didn't shout.
He just kept saying, "No, there's no way.
There's no way you could be that stupid."
But he was saying it really pointedly
like he thought I was really stupid.
(Claire laughs)
- [Claire] It's not that bad.
- [Claire] It's not.
- [Claire] It's not that bad.
- [Claire] So, you don't like it?
Then he got into bed and put the duvet over his head
and huffed, which was hilarious.
- [Claire] Are you in a huff now?
- [Claire] Are ya?
- [Claire] You're silly.
- Why are you in a huff?
- Yeah, but what does it matter?
- Are you actually annoyed?
- Okay, I should probably say it's fake.
(laughs)
Basically, if I was to get a bad tattoo,
I think I should run it before the husband first.
Imagine if that had been real,
I'm stuck with it forever,
so exactly how long were you going to huff for?
So that was like a very real reaction,
not a very funny reaction,
but interesting to know for future.
Husband not impressed,
with the idea of getting my club logo tattooed on me,
noted.
And then the final person that I got was Kelly.
And I really wanted to get Kelly in person,
but I wasn't going to be able to meet her
until the following Monday.
Even last Tuesday, I knew that it wasn't
gonna last until the following Monday.
I told Kelly that I had something big to show her,
and I just couldn't wait to show her.
And I asked her to get her housemate
to film her reaction.
So her housemate, by the way, is Sean
from the TRY channel, so that was pretty simple.
- [Sean] Now what?
- She said landscape, please.
That's landscape, isn't it?
- [Sean] Okay, that's landscape, yeah.
- Give me 5.
Oh, for fuck's sake, Claire.
(Sean laughing)
- Are you zooming in on me?
- Okay, Kelly, I can't wait until next
I mentioned this on Monday,
but I can't wait until next Monday to show ya.
- Oh my god. (laughs)
She did not, she did not, she did not, she did not.
Noooo.
- [Sean] What is it?
- Did Claire get a tattoo of a Springbok on her leg?
Hold on, I need to zoom in more.
What? No. She didn't do it.
- Okay, Kelly, I can't wait until next,
I mentioned this on Monday,
but I can't wait until next Monday to show ya.
- Oh my God.
What? No. She didn't.
She didn't. She didn't. No.
No.
- [Sean] So Kelly, now that you've watched Claire get
a tattoo of a Springbok, what do you think?
- That's not real!
It's 100 percent not real.
There's no way.
- [Sean] What's your rating outta ten?
- Seven.
Claire always gives sevens.
Seven.
I give it a seven.
Oh my god, no way. No.
That's not real.
No, send that to Claire.
That's not real.
Tell her no.
What?
No.
- Her text messages say that she believes me.
I think she was only 80 percent of the way there,
but she was also-- there was a part
of her that was worried about offending me,
in case it was real.
She goes, "Oh that's sick! Good sick."
(laughs)
I said who qualifies that?
I have wanted a real tattoo for years.
I have talked about it for years.
So I was hoping that more people would believe me.
I think
the undeniably bad decision of tattooing
a club logo on your leg.
I think most people expected better from me
(laughs)
and just refused to believe me.
It's an interesting social experiment though
because I was kind of expecting more people to pretend
that they believed it
in order to further the joke.
But I think everyone was like,
"No, you're not fooling me.
I'm not an idiot, it's fake."
When I thought about it,
I would probably react the same way.
Actually, I'd like to think I would be like
"Oh where'd you get that?"
and try and push the joke further.
But no, I'd probably actually be like
"No, you're not fooling me.
You're not fooling me,
I know that's fake.
I'm no idiot.
I wasn't, didn't come down the last shower."
This has been good crack and thank you to Inkbox.
Why am I saying thank you?
I paid full price for the product.
You didn't help me at all. (laughs)
So thank you to Inkbox for taking my money for this product.
