Amanda Graves (@amandagravestattoo) revealed the tattoo in one Video on tik tok.

“Your glitter tattoos will look damn good a year later,” the caption reads, echoing comments from trolls.

She revealed the ink, which was a representation of the fictional sandworm from the Beetlejuice movie.

“A year-old glitter tattoo who won the convention first,” the text continues.

I didn't want to wait to laser my sticky ring tattoo so I had it cut out

The video attracted many viewers who shared their thoughts in the comments section.

“I’m talking about wanting to travel all the time to get glitter tattoos,” one wrote. “Please never stop.”

“I don’t understand why people enjoy telling them their tattoos are going to look bad for years to come. Where’s the joy in that sentence?” another added.

“Love the raw photo with no filters or edits,” commented a third. “Well done.”

“If you go to a good artist who knows their print and has good ink your tattoos can last a long time plus a scrub once a week,” wrote another.

“I do not get it? It looks great,” said another.

A glitter tattoo uses a design technique that creates a gradient effect that looks like glitter.

In another videoAmanda described the technique she uses as a tattoo artist.

“My question is how do you get the glitter effect on the tattoo?” asked one viewer. “Do you dot different colors together?”

“Just varying the dot size and colors and covering the top with three pastel colors and white,” Amanda replied, showing off a colorful snake tattoo.

After a year, she revealed her glitter tattoo and shared that it won first place at a convention
