Are love bites romantic? A couple seemed to think such a gesture was so meaningful that they decided to immortalize it in the form of a tattoo, sparking thousands of divided reactions online.
Taking to its official TikTok page, tattoo parlor Betty Zoo Tattoo, which specializes in vegan ink, shared a video of a man getting the shape of his girlfriend’s bite tattooed on his arm.
The video, which has now been viewed 13.5 million times since its publication last week, saw the man sitting in the chair of the studio, located in Copenhagen, Denmark, bracing himself before getting bit by his girlfriend.

The video, which was captioned “bite mark tattoo”, further showed that the bite had left the customer’s girlfriend’s dental imprint on his bicep.
A tattoo artist was then seen carefully drawing around the outlines left by her teeth, before inking the result.
“Me only thinkin about the sepsis,” a person wrote on TikTok

Upon the tattoo’s completion, the video displayed a neat outline of the woman’s upper and lower bite on the outside of the man’s arm.
However, the unique tattoo idea baffled TikTok users, with many expressing concerns regarding hygiene.

The tattoo artist was shown respecting hygienic standards while tattooing, such as stenciling, wiping, and disinfecting.
Nevertheless, the Cleveland Clinic stated that human bites can be more dangerous than many people expect as germs in the saliva can increase the risk of infection, adding: “A wound may appear minor, but a bacterial infection can lead to more severe infections and complications.”
