The act of someome pretending to have a tattoo that they don't actually have. This is commonly achieved through image theft, photoshop, temporary tattoos, henna, fabric arm sleeves, markers,or even something as simple as verbal bluffing. This is a separate phenomenon from people who sport fake tattoos or henna for costuming, acting roles, or decoration without the pretense that the "tattoo" is permanent. If you find out that you're being tatfished by someone, RUN. The same people will fake pregnancies, suicide attempts, and all manners of things without remorse.
