Courtney Monteith Tiktok Tattoogate Viral Video- What Happened?
On May 10, a TikTok user called Courtney Monteith posted multiple videos regarding her encounter with an anonymous tattoo artist, who was eventually found to be Lindsay Joseph of Lucid Tattoos.
The mother of three documented her visits with Joseph in a video before displaying a tattoo drawing that did not reflect what she had desired.
“I wanted a tattoo by this artist that I like,” Monteith said at the start of his debut TikTok video. She scheduled a consultation with Joseph and paid a non-refundable charge of $180. The tattoo artist informed Monteith about her tiered tattoo price after their appointment.

The first option, which cost $1,500 plus tax, included a tattoo idea drawing with one minor adjustment and a final design approval. For $3,500 plus tax, her second tattoo choice included two idea designs, a few modifications, and a final design review.
The ultimate cost for many sketches, evaluations, and a canvas of the idea sketch was above $6,000.
“At first, I assumed the amount would be deducted from the final cost of my tattoo, but then I found out that it wasn’t,” Monteith explained.
“I was still caught off guard. I was at a loss for words. She asked which choice was best for me, and I immediately chose number one because it’s the most costly.”
