Women horrified after realising new Marvel tattoo looks like 'penis' on arm

A woman made an unfortunate discovery after looking at her new tattoo in the mirror - leaving others in hysterics.

Courtney Lyn got the permanent inking of Rocket Raccoon, a character Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy franchise, on her arm.

But after leaving the tattoo studio, she made the unfortunate realisation that a section of the design was unintentionally phallic-looking, the Daily Star reports.

The American woman explained on Tik Tok : "It was supposed to be a knee cap."

But it doesn't look like a knee cap, it looks like a penis!"

She then shows off the whole tattoo, showing Rocket kneeling on the ground while armed with a laser cannon.

Courtney showed off the reference photo, adding: "Look at this knee cap in question, there is a line there.

"He (tattoo artist) followed it correctly, unfortunately. I don't know if that's a fold in the clothing, a crack in the knee pad or whatever, but he followed it.

"I don't want to correct someone who does it professionally.

"But if I saw that from an artist's standpoint, I would probably think, 'Hmmm I’m not going to do that.'

"Or, as some of you have suggested, do some shading."

She said the tattoo artist had worked on her previously – and she was watching him doing the inking the whole time.

But it wasn't until she went back home and saw the tattoo in the mirror that she noticed the blunder.

Dirty-minded TikTokers giggled as they made the same realisation.

One cheeky commenter said: "It's only missing the veins."

Another wrote: "They most likely did that on purpose. Whose knee cap looks like that?"

Some asked Courtney to make sure the tattoo artist to cover the stroke up when she goes back for finishing touches.

She said: "I'm getting it coloured in, I'm finding a different tattoo artist, and no I'm not giving him (Rocket) legs, he will be on his knees, and I will not be doing it red."
