Speaker 2 (04:09):
Wait. Maybe people don't know what we're talking about.

Speaker 3 (04:11):
No, people don't, So start from the start. Talk us through.
How many years ago you did this?

Speaker 2 (04:16):
Yeah? Okay, all right, so guys in twenty twenty, when
myself and Maley were going on Big Brother a few
months prior, oh years ago?

Speaker 3 (04:25):
Yeah, my god, sorry sorry, yeah.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
No, it is crazy. That's a lot getting it was
like a lifetime ago. I decided to tattoo freckles on
my face.

Speaker 3 (04:36):
Hold up there, Yeah, why would this come into your
brain and frontal lobe like as a good idea? Was
this a trending topic where girls getting fake tattoos of
like freckle like?

Speaker 1 (04:51):
So this was trending at the.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
Top, the tattoo freckle, the face tattoos, the lip tattoos,
the brows, everything started trending. I knew I was going
on Big Brother. So I got the brows done and
I got the lips done, and I saw the freckles
and I thought, oh wow, Like somebody did a diy
freckle video on TikTok and it looked that easy. She

(05:13):
was like, here's where you can get them yet of here,
So I was like, I'll just do it.

Speaker 4 (05:17):
Wait, so I just want to get into your headspace. Like,
so you're sitting at home, you're on TikTok, and you
see someone apply their own freckles.

Speaker 3 (05:27):
Late at night, mind you, I believe Tilly from memory.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
Yeah, so I'd gotten my brows tattooed on. I was
about to get my eyeliner done. Thank god I didn't
do that.

Speaker 3 (05:36):
What does that mean? What do you mean get your eight.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
My tics, my my Nike ticks. I was going to
get them tattooed on, and I'd got my brows tattooed
on and my lips tattooed on, and they're still on
to this day. They tell you it's like a three
month thing. Three to six months. Anyway. So this girl
like was like an like a beauty artist, and it
was during COVID, so her because she couldn't actually do

(06:00):
her job on people and give people tattoo she was
just showing people how to do them at home on
TikTok because that was obviously her revenue stream.

Speaker 3 (06:08):
Okay, all right, right, all right.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
So she's showing everyone at home beauty. Also, people were
poor during COVID, Like there was a financial crisis for
a lot of people, so people didn't have jobs. She
was actually showing an affordable way to do beauty to
add to.

Speaker 3 (06:23):
Your own face. Yeah, so stay a little on, is
she a little Are you allowed to do that as
a professional?

Speaker 2 (06:29):
What's going to stop you? Plus it's in America, so
y'all don't care.

Speaker 1 (06:34):
I love that.

Speaker 3 (06:34):
She always says, y'all, like I'm American, I'm an Australian citizen.

Speaker 2 (06:39):
You're American.

Speaker 3 (06:40):
I'm just living here. Yeah, all right, you're right, all right,
go on, go on.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
Okay, So basically she tells you what ink to buy
and like how you can make your own tattoo needle
what so. Yeah, so you make the you make the
needle by just sticking like two sewing needles at home
together with sticky tape.

Speaker 3 (07:01):
Okay, and then this is let it hold on, let
me get back into legality. You don't look like I can't. No, No, Jay,
definitely look like that, because that's where my head's at.
There is no way that she publicly she has a
business in this, and that she put out that you
were going to sticky tape two needles together, threading needles
and then poked them into your face.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
No way she did.

Speaker 3 (07:20):
Is she canceled?

Speaker 2 (07:21):
No, I don't know who she.

Speaker 3 (07:24):
She should be canceled.

Speaker 2 (07:25):
I wonder if she knows.

Speaker 4 (07:26):
Last week we were talking about you being bad Tilly,
being a bad influence to women who might young women
who might look up to her, and then this woman
now is telling young women to tattoo their own.

Speaker 3 (07:38):
Faces with hope themselves in the face.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
J that's cancelable.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
Yeah, no, it's fine. She was showing, but.

Speaker 3 (07:45):
It might not be. Let's let's see what happens at
the end of the story here. Maybe it came out
great for Tilly. Let's find out.

Speaker 2 (07:50):
So she yep, she did that. She showed you how
to do it, and she tells you what to order.
So I ordered their ink, but I found like the
cheap version, like she told you the right version. But
I saw it on eBay.

Speaker 3 (08:07):
Because it was COVID and you were struggling, so obviously
you were the cheap route. When it came to permanently
putting ink into your face, yeah, I.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
Saw that ink. And later on anyway, to like fast
forward a bit, I did email the ink company and said, hey,
do you guys stock on eBay? And they said, nah,
that ain't ow ink. They were like that we do
not have that because I email, yeah, anyway, we'll go

(08:35):
back back.

Speaker 4 (08:37):
So you thought you were buying a reputable brand off
eBay for cheap. Then it turns out no, you had
bought a love Goggles cameras.

Speaker 2 (08:47):
Exactly. I bought the Ali Barber ink. So they were
basically where'd.

Speaker 3 (08:53):
You get where'd you get your needles from?

Speaker 2 (08:55):
To oh the cupboard? The song the sewing thing cookies.

Speaker 3 (09:03):
Yeah, the exact one.

Speaker 2 (09:05):
Every family has one.

Speaker 3 (09:08):
Yeah, he does.

Speaker 1 (09:09):
He does.

Speaker 3 (09:10):
Has a little bit of cotton and that one.

Speaker 2 (09:12):
Yeah. They said find your two smallest needles. Done.

Speaker 3 (09:15):
Yeah, this is starting off fantastic. Really, I love like
how thorough you've been with this process.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
This is great.

Speaker 2 (09:21):
Keep going and then so you have to tattoo it
to reach the correct dermal layer so that the ink
stays in your skin. You have to get it two
to three millimeters. So you get out a little ruler.
You mark your two to three milimeters like with a
permanent marker, so when you're stabbing it in your face,
it has to go the correct dep Oh, Tom's gonna

(09:45):
dump me after this episode.

Speaker 3 (09:48):
I would too.

Speaker 1 (09:50):
Tom.

Speaker 3 (09:50):
Please just end it now, End it now, brother, There
is no point continuing on with this. This long live
term investment is not worth it. Return, this is not
worth it. Okay, So you've marked out the needle now
and now where are you?

Speaker 1 (10:08):
Okay?

Speaker 3 (10:08):
Bedroom?

Speaker 2 (10:09):
So yep, everything's arrived.

Speaker 3 (10:11):
I'm ready, You're prepared.

Speaker 2 (10:13):
Mental should have sanitized everything, but definitely didn't do that.
I'm remembering, and it was during COVID.

Speaker 3 (10:19):
All we had was sanitizer and what.

Speaker 2 (10:21):
Yeah, true facts.

Speaker 3 (10:22):
Yeah, no, anyway, did you at least get like a
lighter and like light the tip of the needle or
something to kill any type of germs?

Speaker 2 (10:30):
Okay, okay, anyway, I might have chucked it in like
a little thing of hot water. Maybe definitely. There is
no proper sanitization. Yeah, I don't think anyway, it was closed.

Speaker 3 (10:43):
I didn't want to kill sanitization.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
Sanitation. There you got it. Didn't even have to tell
me sanitization. Do you want to know something funny? My
dad is one of the top toast masters speakers in
this state. Like he wins every public speaking competition because
he's so well literate and like well spoken and his
speech and speaking is amazing.

Speaker 3 (11:07):
And didn't you get a good result in your English
exam at the end of high school?

Speaker 2 (11:11):
Yes, but how you speak does not reflect your Yeah,
I got a ninety.

Speaker 3 (11:15):
Five and you you were very evident of that.

Speaker 2 (11:17):
Okay, we should make our own train wreck dictionary at
this point. Anyway, I love it.

Speaker 3 (11:21):
I love that. It's great.

Speaker 4 (11:23):
Yeah, back to you applaying frequors to your own face
based off a TikTok video, just talking about how ma
you are. Yes, you were you were using unsanitized needles.

Speaker 2 (11:31):
Yes, I was nineteen. I was nineteen. I'm now nearly
twenty five. Anyway, so I go into my room. I
have this like a little km mirror, and I had
to turn off every light in my room because it
was COVID. So every family member was home and this
was nighttime. No, no, no, I'm not kidding.

Speaker 3 (11:53):
I don't remember this being a part of the story.
You were not telling me that you performed this surgical
tattooing of freckles on in the back in the dark
with your phone light or something.

Speaker 2 (12:04):
Yes, correct, with my phone light anyway, yeap in the dark, and.

Speaker 3 (12:07):
Everyone's in bed.

Speaker 2 (12:08):
No, no, they're not in bed. They're walking around. So
and like, because it's COVID, it'd be like suss if
I close my door, like there's nothing going on, Like
I make the families all around, like they keep coming
in every five minutes, and I've just got my flashlight
on and they're like, oh, what are you doing performing?
They don't know that anyway. So we've got our sticky
tape needles. We've got out ink. Now the first problem

(12:32):
is actually we'll start here the actual process. Now, I
don't remember it being painful. But this is the issue
with my pain tolerance. I have no pain tolerance, Like
there's no problems, but but that's potentially why it went numb.
So I don't know anyway.

Speaker 4 (12:49):
So you so you were just like going back and
forth like really like was it quick, was it slow?
Were you deliberate or were you just like slapping them
in left run center?

Speaker 2 (12:58):
I was just slapping him in. And this is where
the problem came. I should have really like marked out
my dots and been a bit more like smart about it,
like drawn on them, but I didn't, and the.

Speaker 3 (13:10):
Issue was just smacking me.

Speaker 2 (13:12):
Yeah, but I was doing it quite quick, so like
I didn't even realize, but I was like scratching my face.
So like I'd go because it was next one. Yes,
the needles dragging correct, So I've done it. I've gone
my two to three millimeters whatever. I didn't know whether
the ink was ink or it was blood.

Speaker 3 (13:29):
I went and I couldn't tell either because the lights
were not Yeah.

Speaker 2 (13:31):
Yeah, So I go to the bathroom to have a
look and I'm like, oh, there's not much. So I
go back in second round.

Speaker 3 (13:38):
Not much what.

Speaker 2 (13:41):
It's not really good it's just blood.

Speaker 3 (13:43):
Yeah, it was just double dipped. You double dipped the
eBay cheap ass ink back into the open wounds. Oh
my god, Jay, and oh my god, unsanitized as well.
Oh my god.

Speaker 2 (13:55):
Yes, so round two has begun. This one was a quickie,
twenty second route then back in. So I go into
the bathroom and basically it looked my best way to
describe it as a constellation because there was just drag

(14:17):
marks all over my face. Now, the issue is the
lady in the video tells you that you have to
rub the ink everywhere after just so like it really
fills the holes.

Speaker 3 (14:27):
Anyway, the issue is the lady in the video instructed
you on some things to do at home, some at
home remedies into tattooing your face. That's the issue.

Speaker 2 (14:37):
That's a real issue at heart. But my current issue
was the fact that I was told to rub it
all over my face when in fact it was going
in the lines of dragging. So not only were they
in the dots, it was in the lines as well.
Oh my god.

Speaker 3 (14:53):
I was going to say, but you work very well
under pressure, A lot of people would freeze up and
just can go crazy in that moment. You do.

Speaker 1 (15:00):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (15:00):
I just very composed under pressure.

Speaker 2 (15:02):
I was very logical. I said, what should I do?
This isn't looking good.

Speaker 3 (15:06):
Its logical.

Speaker 2 (15:10):
I said, if TikTok told me to do this, I'm
going to go TikTok to find out how to remark.

Speaker 3 (15:15):
I love where your head's at. You were such a
smart individual.

Speaker 2 (15:18):
Thank you. So I went on to TikTok. Yeah, and
I typed up how to remove crackle tattoos. Yes, the
first one that I tried was lemon and bikeub soda.
The saws and when it goes on it just bubbles
a bit, so some of the ink comes to the surface.
But what I was going to say before was the

(15:38):
ink was red. So was it blood or was it ink?
I don't know what was coming out.

Speaker 3 (15:44):
Also, it was red ink that you put into yourself
and it turns brown I assume when it gets into
your skin.

Speaker 2 (15:49):
No, no, no, it was a brownie red like an oak,
which I didn't know. I thought I ordered a nice brown,
but I ordered red, so it was never going to
be freckles.

Speaker 3 (15:59):
Can I remind it everyone as well that you did
this before appearing on National TV? So talk about being logical.
You thought this would be a.

Speaker 2 (16:06):
Good you know, yes, well, this was the whole logic.
I have to look cute on TV and I don't
want to worry about makeup. Turns out I had to
wear it every day.

Speaker 3 (16:15):
You had more more than you would yes, yeah.

Speaker 2 (16:18):
So after the bi cup soda and the lemon, somebody
else said you should use whale pummas. You know those
rocks that like people get dead skin off their feet with.
Oh yeah, thinking of this now, that really was not sanitary.
But I basically scrubbed the ship out of my face.

Speaker 4 (16:33):
Sorry notes and she scrod whale hummus.

Speaker 2 (16:40):
No comment next, ye whalemm didn't work. Didn't work, just
pretty much made this giant. I don't know how to
call it. It was pussy red anyway. So but I
was pissed off because that didn't work. So I got
like a scalpel because the next thing said to just
pick them out, like to pick the ink out like

(17:02):
toyeh to, like dive into the pocket and like pull
the ink pocket out. No way I performed, so no
way on my face that kind of worked. I was
getting I was reaching the ink pockets and like it
was oozing out potentially blood, potentially in infection.

Speaker 4 (17:20):
So you've stuck these tiny needle heads into your face
and now you've got a scalpel and you're trying to.

Speaker 3 (17:26):
Just digging out like it's a shovel in some dirt.

Speaker 2 (17:28):
Correct, you have to dig, you have to get in deep,
you have to reach the ink pocket.

Speaker 4 (17:32):
At any point till you have you thought, hey, perhaps
I'm making it worse.

Speaker 3 (17:37):
Now. When you're in the thick of.

Speaker 2 (17:39):
Things, I think in that way, you're just like, okay,
just doing your can, like do you Yeah, I had
to go to sleep.

Speaker 3 (17:46):
I did you put eyes packs or something?

Speaker 2 (17:49):
I put clean wrap on them so I didn't stick
to my pillow.

Speaker 1 (17:52):
Had you told your mum at this point?

Speaker 2 (17:53):
No, No, definitely not. Then the next morning I wake
up and I was like, fuck, like this is not good.
It was not good.

Speaker 3 (18:02):
It was really bad, painful, painful as well.

Speaker 2 (18:05):
Painful, whole face swollen, lots of Yeah, it looked interesting.
Went to get my eyebrows tattooed that day, and yeah,
it just happened to It wasn't just like, oh that
didn't work, I'll go do something.

Speaker 3 (18:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (18:20):
Anyway, so I drove to Honey, this lovely Russian lady.
And when I got there, she was like, what the
heck is wrong with your face? I said, oh, their
tattoo freckles like. She was like, oh yeah, yeah, and
she just happened to do them. She said like that

(18:40):
that's not how they meant to look.

Speaker 1 (18:41):
On because you did them at home.

Speaker 2 (18:43):
Yeah. Correct, correct. She was like, you need to go
to the doctors. Anyway. I was not going to the
doctors because that's so embarrassing. So I went home with
tattooed eyebrows and tattooed freckles and just looked like an
absolute chain wreck. What happened next was my eye I
start swelling really really bad.

Speaker 3 (19:02):
Okay, so the swelling gets worse, and at this point,
nobody at home still knows. Your mom doesn't know.

Speaker 2 (19:07):
This is all within a very short period of time.

Speaker 3 (19:10):
Yeah, got youa, it's just happening.

Speaker 2 (19:12):
Yeah yeah, swelling, yeah, get home. At this point, I'm
thinking I'm going blind, so I'm gonna have to tell
mom and dad.

Speaker 3 (19:20):
Oh my god, this is terrifying.

Speaker 2 (19:22):
So I had to look up treatments that look similar.
You didn't you, Yeah? I did. Of course. I never
formally told her. She just found out off an Instagram
post when I basically told everyone. But anyway, I told
her that I'd done this. I'll post a photo of it.
It's like this thing where they just do holes in
your face and they burned the top layer of your
skin off and it looked believable, And I was like, guys,

(19:44):
they went and did this with a trial person, like
she'd never done it before. My whole face is like cooked.

Speaker 3 (19:51):
This is why I looked at it.

Speaker 2 (19:53):
And of course my dad, who's like professional, was like,
oh my god, we're gonna have to sue these people.
This is not good. How did this end up happening?
I was like, yeah, I put on makeup after so
it was really infected. Yeah that's what that's what they bought, which,
mind you, I had actually done. But will lead that
to when we're in the hospital bit. Anyway, because normally

(20:13):
I'm dramatic, Like my family would say you're dramatic. So
Dad's like, you're just being dramatic, like you're not going blind, but.

Speaker 3 (20:20):
I was yeah, like so that your vision was being
like like it.

Speaker 2 (20:24):
Was fuzzy, but no, you couldn't see, like because my
whole life.

Speaker 3 (20:28):
Was imagine this, guys, honestly, if this I got no words,
I've got nothing.

Speaker 2 (20:35):
Imagine my whole right eye closed, so one entire eye
closed up.

Speaker 1 (20:39):
Okay, so you woke up blind essentially.

Speaker 2 (20:41):
Yes, pretty much. Well, but thank god I went to hospital.

Speaker 3 (20:45):
Yeah, yeah, thank god.

Speaker 2 (20:47):
Yeah. So I ended up in hospital, got on the stereodrip,
got on lots of antibiotics. Still, when I was at hospital,
did not tell the people what I had done.

Speaker 3 (20:56):
Didn't tell.

Speaker 2 (20:59):
Because it was too embarrassing. I was like, this is
just so stupid. Nobody already takes me serious. I was like,
let alone. If I say that, at least they think
like I'm proper sick or something, so.

Speaker 3 (21:10):
They still would have treated you regardless. They're not going
to treat you just because they're judging internally that you're
freaking insane.

Speaker 2 (21:18):
Yeah. Then I go home with my drip and everything
like that's out. I better go home with the antibiotics,
and they send me to get it redressed every single day,
like for like two weeks. They have to keep going
to hospital every day. But when I was in hospital,
the first thing they said was makeup, put on this,
and like, of course, the first thing that I did

(21:40):
was put on makeup so nobody would see it. And
they said, of course, there is so much bacteria in
makeup brushes. They said, you wouldn't believe the amount of
like spread of herpes just from like makeup brushes, not
even from like stick and stuff. But they were like,
there's just so much bacteria and crap living on your
face and that's why it's so infected, right right, besides

(22:03):
the fact.

Speaker 1 (22:03):
That the fact that you were.

Speaker 2 (22:06):
I didn't tell them that part. But yeah, anyway, I.

Speaker 1 (22:10):
Have no words.

Speaker 3 (22:11):
Actually no, no, I'm genu I'm genuinely speechless. Guys, I know,
for everyone listening, like Jay and I are just sitting
here shaking our heads constantly. I've got nothing. I've got nothing.
Just yeah, continue the storytell.

Speaker 2 (22:25):
Okay, I go. I'm like looking online, how can I
get rid of tattoos? YadA YadA, yah, Like, what do
I do? I have a month before, big brother.

Speaker 3 (22:34):
I was about to ask you that next.

Speaker 2 (22:35):
Yeah, yeah, I had a month or two maybe, So
the obvious thing was laser tattoo removal. So I go
to this bloke. He's like, okay, well we'll just do
a tester, like let's just see if it works. And sorry,
but I honestly don't think a girl would do this.
He did the test patch in the center of my nose, so.

Speaker 3 (22:58):
He trialed it in the moment visible part of your face.

Speaker 2 (23:02):
Like common sense, I would say that somebody else would
probably do it, like try it somewhere, maybe.

Speaker 3 (23:07):
Looks like a mole near ear behind you. Yeah, yeah, gotcha, gotcha.

Speaker 2 (23:12):
He goes zap, zapsap three dots. He goes, Oh. I
was like, yeah, what it's black. I'm like great, I'm like,
why is it black? He said, dodgy ink turns black
because they don't know what it's in it. There's high
levels of like metallic everything in its zinc and stuff
and basically like in.

Speaker 3 (23:33):
The ink that you bought.

Speaker 1 (23:34):
Correct.

Speaker 2 (23:36):
Yeah, So at this point is when I'm like, what
the heck? So of course I go back to the
scalpel and had to remove myself. I had to remove
his black dots.

Speaker 3 (23:51):
This is where I check out, guys, you know what
I mean, Like, at some point you think this stuff's
made up and that Tilly's just making this whole thing
up for an aim and purposes. But this is where
I check I can't believe after the series of events
that have gone on that you then decided to go
back to the scalpel, unsanitized and do this again. Tilly like,

(24:12):
at what point? Okay, sorry, continue, continue, We'll get to it.

Speaker 2 (24:15):
Okay. So we picked the black scabs out. This actually
works like they're not scabbed, but it's deep.

Speaker 3 (24:20):
Glad you had one one.

Speaker 2 (24:22):
Anyway, I'm going to like lots of beauty professionals and
I'm like, how do I remove this? And the first
thing one of them says is, oh, like any beauty ink,
you don't zap like any face stuff or whatnot, because
because beauty inc Is like has different ingredients in it
because it's meant to be temporary. So that's why it

(24:42):
turned black. So they said that's the last thing we
would do. Okay, So yeah, this is when I start.
They were like talking with producers for Big Brothers, so
I had to cover it up. The issue was the
scars were really raised. Yeah, so I needed to find
a way to flatten them. This is where the money starts. Also,
I have to tell you to this day, I have multiple, multiple,

(25:06):
multiple messages how to get rid of the tattoos because
so many people have done it. So you guys are
going to be like, Okay, this is boring, but I
actually do want to say how I got rid of them,
like I think it's important for some girls.

Speaker 3 (25:18):
No, I want to hear I think I think it's
great that you. Like the reason you got into this
mess was your how to get tattoos on TikTok. Now
I believe you should go out. I don't really mean this,
but now posts how to remove them on TikTok, I
think that's just yes.

Speaker 2 (25:31):
So we're going to start the removal story now. So
pretty much the first thing I went to do, obviously
was their tattoo removal. So guys, do not do tattoo removal, Like,
don't go to a tattoo removal specialist. They're not going
to help you, Like we need beauticians here right right
by the way, Like there actually is nothing online about
this stuff, like there's how to remove tattoos, but there's

(25:53):
not really like freckal tattoos specifically. So I think that's
why my articles often show up, because there's still a
lot of information or lack of information. So that's why
people message me all the time, and of course they
help you.

Speaker 3 (26:07):
This is retrending right now, right, that is crazy yeah,
insane after the fact, like three years later.

Speaker 2 (26:15):
Well, I hope, I hope people learn their lesson, but
obviously some people see their videos before they see mine. Okay,
I went to this place called Genil, So if anyone
wants to fly to Sydney and get it done, that's
where I went to Kelly at five Dock at Genil,
and she has a special removal technique and this is
the only thing that worked. I was spending four hundred

(26:37):
dollars on just trying to get the first of all
their scars flat right, which we did with micro needling.
If you want to spend that much, I think it's
a bloody ripoff, like especially when they just go over
quickly with a few needles. Anyway, it did work. It
did work. It definitely worked. But I'd say that alone
cost me five grand already. I know second steps. You

(27:01):
need to find a beautition. There is a few solutions.
For example, a saline solution, which is basically micro needling
on a specific on each individual freckle, they dig the
hole again and they shoot saline into it basically, and
they find the ink pocket professionally and all done properly.

(27:22):
It's a very common technique and the saline creates a scab,
the scab falls off, the ink falls off with the scab,
great massive pockets of ink coming out of my face
and she'd wipe it with the towel. I'll show you
photos of it.

Speaker 3 (27:36):
That must have felt so good just getting all that out.

Speaker 4 (27:38):
You know those pimple popping videos.

Speaker 3 (27:43):
That's what I was imagining ja like a really satisfy
like it's like leaking out of her cheek.

Speaker 2 (27:48):
You know, it is kind of but like not like
not excessively. Anyway. The color that's come out, I'm not
kidding is the color of that button there. Can you
see that? Like a dark vomit green? So the ink
wasn't even brown at this stage. It was going green.

Speaker 3 (28:03):
It mixture of blood and yeah.

Speaker 2 (28:08):
Anyway, so that got rid of the majority of it.
That took about let's say ten sessions.

Speaker 3 (28:14):
Wow, ten sessions, yes.

Speaker 2 (28:16):
But we're not even done yet. So that got rid
of the majority of it, right, But like that just
got rid of the ink pockets, so that I was
able to do laser. Yeah, and then so you have
to go to a BUTUTII laser. So a bututition laser
will have a Q switch laser. You need to use

(28:37):
a Q switch, which is like a higher frequency and
it burns differently, so it's better for that those red inks,
Like each laser is different depending on the ink in
your face. That's the end. They're still there now.

Speaker 4 (28:49):
So it didn't even work. In the end, well, it
didn't work to get them rid of them. You just
reduced them.

Speaker 3 (28:54):
It was probably the best that you could do get
it in terms of removing it.

Speaker 2 (28:57):
Getting rid of it, Yeah, they're not gone.

Speaker 3 (28:59):
We'll get it before and to picture up because Tillie
most definitely didn't need these freckles.

Speaker 2 (29:03):
Oh my god, my skin was so nice.

Speaker 3 (29:06):
Yeah, yeah, right, and you used to not wear too
much makeup, right, and now after that you obviously had
to wear just so much to cover these. Yeah, is freckles.

Speaker 2 (29:15):
Mom gets so annoyed. She's like, I had so much
acting when I was younger, and you went and did
this and you had nice skin, Like, it's just so dumb.

Speaker 3 (29:21):
Myself and Jay were just absolutely speechless throughout that whole story.
That's just I'm getting PTSD listening to that. Do you
think that, like, what what makes you do these just
outlandish and insane things to your body, Like, do you
think that you have or had some sort of addiction
to getting work done to your body or some sort
of fix or what's like the reason behind doing all

(29:44):
these things and doing them how you did?

Speaker 2 (29:47):
I think it was yeah, yeah, No, I just think
it was like when one thing causes a problem, you
do something else to create a solution. Like Okay, now
I have freckles all over my face, I'm gonna go
and get cheek filled to make it less obvious and
maybe make it look better, or like, yeah, that sort
of thing, like every real what is it? It's like

(30:07):
the Newton law?

Speaker 1 (30:08):
Is it?

Speaker 2 (30:08):
Every reaction has an equal and opposite reaction?

Speaker 3 (30:12):
Yes, yeah, something like that, Jay smiling. It's something like that.

Speaker 2 (30:15):
It is something like that.

Speaker 3 (30:16):
Nobody I was going to say that was yeah, that
was spot on. Yeah yeah.

Speaker 2 (30:20):
So like you go and do something else to like
counteract what you've done, fix it up.

Speaker 3 (30:25):
So I would love to get a brain scan of you,
like your risk. I feel like you have some sort
of either developed or you don't have developed whatever the
risk neurons that are going through your mind, Like it's
not there, like you were at the same level of
these guys that skydive and cliff jump and do all
of this crazy stuff with the stuff that you do

(30:45):
to your face. Like who else would literally in the
dark poke themselves with an unsanitized needle just in the
face constantly.

Speaker 2 (30:55):
That's pretty dumb.

Speaker 3 (30:56):
Like, now do you regret it? Do you regret that?

Speaker 2 (30:58):
I regret all my tattoos. The next thing I want
to go with tattoo was sixty nine on myself, Like
why did I do that?

Speaker 3 (31:06):
I have the worst tattoo of all again, Tom, absolutely dumper, don't.

Speaker 1 (31:13):
Jay.

Speaker 2 (31:13):
We were at Marlin, we were at my house and
Mali was here. Grass it's so cooked and Tom chatting
Tom on his hip. This big and we wrote something
on it. I can't say what it is, but.

Speaker 3 (31:28):
All right, yeah, I know she's led you to the water. Jay.

Speaker 2 (31:34):
I would have to get him on for that episode.
That's for him to say. He wants to say it.
We'll save that. Yeah, it's this big and it's a
chunky tattoo. I'll tell you.

Speaker 3 (31:43):
By the way, Tilly, Tilly did the tattoo herself with
her unsanitized tattoo gun as well.

Speaker 2 (31:47):
He's the best, Tilly.

Speaker 3 (31:49):
You're insane, guys, we're gonna post. We're gonna post all
over train wreck the pod on Instagram all over TikTok. Guys,

give you all of the context and references to what
we're talking about here, because you need to see the

It's you look absolutely amazing, So please thanks, Well, do

(32:12):
whatever you want to your body, of course, but let's
just at least get professionals to do so.

Speaker 2 (32:16):
Maybe honestly, when I realized how big I effed up
was when The New York Times was contacting me and
was like, we want to do an article on you.
And then I was like, oh my god, like I've
proper stuffed up.

Speaker 3 (32:29):
Like for the New York Times cooking wind.

Speaker 2 (32:33):
In Sydney nineteen years old? Is it interesting? I'm like,
oh my god.

Speaker 3 (32:37):
Didn't they want to make a documentary on you as well?

Speaker 1 (32:40):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (32:40):
Yeah no, there wasn't. There was a documentary made called
Mira Mirror.

Speaker 3 (32:44):
No Regrets here. Maybe maybe this was worth it.

Speaker 2 (32:47):
You got clouded of this besides like being clouded like
I actually think it was worth it. I don't regret it.
I have no regrets.

of their own, that I mean, no one can rival Tilly, right, Like,

what you've done to yourself, that can be Tilly's.

Speaker 3 (33:20):
Oh please, yeah, we will send Yeah, we're sending a
gift to the best story that can match up against Tilly's.
