But what the mum, from New Zealand, didn't realise right away is that when she was wearing a short sleeve top or dress, the outline of the female figure resembled something phallic.
Desperate to get rid of the unfortunate design and placement, Christina recently popped down to have the sleeve inking finished - in hopes to get rid of the
She shared on TikTok: ''I've had a ball sack on my arm for five years now and now it's time to fix it.''
According to the brown-eyed stunner, she had designed the inking with her pal - and at the time, didn't account for what the naked woman's ''butt would look like when it's covered''.

Tattoo Do's and Don'ts
1. Think, think and think some more
Tattoos done on a whim are far more likely to lead to regret than a tattoo you thought long and hard about. Think about why you want what you've chosen. And if you still want it after a few months, then get it.
2. Age restrictions apply
You must be 18 years old to be tattooed in the UK.
3. Don't haggle over the price
When you go to a tattoo shop the price is the price. You are paying for an artist's time and skills, they charge what they believe those things are worth.
4. Don't get tattooed while you're hungry
Eat before you go for your tattoo session and make sure you're hydrated. You're about to be subjected to a period of sustained physical discomfort, if you're feeling a little weak from hunger or you're dehydrated things will not go as smoothly as they should.
5. Don't drink alcohol before you get tattooed
If you are drunk or under the influence of drugs, don't go for a tattoo. In fact, if your tattooist has anything at all about them they will turn you away if you are clearly under the influence of any intoxicating substances. I'd also avoid drinking the night before, even a few drinks will thin your blood and make your bleed more.
''now that you've pointed out that's all I see,'' someone else chimed in.
A fourth wondered: ''Do you plan on adding/covering something on the actual butt (ballsack)?

''I think going over the whole thing with new ink could make it beautiful!''
Responding to the intrigued viewer, the mum-of-three said: ''Honestly no - it means something to me and even though I did a bad job I don't hate it at all.''

Wedding Guest Outfit Etiquette If you're struggling to decided on a dress to see you through wedding season, here's a few rules on what not to wear so you don't get in trouble.

Any colour that could be picked up as white or cream - even if it's not. Most would agree that your cleavage needs to be covered. Wearing white is a massive no-no if you're not the bride.
