In a dramatic display of heartbreak and emotional pain, a young Nigerian woman has sparked a wave of online reactions after attempting to erase a tattoo of her ex-boyfriend’s name from her neck by burning the area with a heated metal spoon.
The shocking act was documented in a TikTok video that quickly went viral. In the clip, the woman is seen heating a spoon over an open flame until it turned red-hot, then pressing it directly against the tattooed skin on her neck. The video was captioned, “I put spoon in the fire just to erase his name.”
Before proceeding with the extreme method, she briefly showed the tattoo, giving viewers a clear look at the name she once permanently etched on her body in the name of love. Her act, though extreme, appeared to be an emotional response to a painful breakup.
The video has triggered thousands of views and reactions across social media, with many users expressing a mix of concern, empathy, and disbelief at her method of coping with heartbreak.
