Fan left in incredibly awkward position after getting Dr DisRespect tattoo

A Dr DisRespect fan has been left in an extremely awkward position after getting a tattoo of the now disgraced streamer.

Getting a tattoo of a famous person is a risky move at the best of times - who knows what might happen that would make someone not want to be associated with any given celebrity?

That's one hell of a long list of potential things that could go wrong, and unfortunately for this former fan, their tattoo choice has come back to bite them.

If you ever needed a warning against getting a tattoo of any famous person, this would probably be pretty high up on the list.

For those who aren't familiar, the streamer has been in the spotlight recently after two employees at Twitch accused him of sending inappropriate messages to a minor.

The streamer, whose real name is Herschel 'Guy' Beahm IV, was banned from Twitch back in 2020, but the reason for the ban was not disclosed to fans.

He moved his content over to YouTube as a result, before shocking allegations emerged that he had been 'sexting a minor'.

This resulted in the online personality being dropped from his studio, Midnight Society.

Following the bombshell news, a fan has come out and posted a picture of a tattoo they have of the streamer on X, with the caption: "Are there any tattoo artists who can cover this up for me."

People shared their thoughts in the comments, with one person writing: "Why would you even get this in the first place?"

A second commented: "This is the reason i have avoided getting tattoos," while a third said: "Talk about oof on a visceral level."

Beahm has since responded to the allegations by saying that while a text conversation had taken place, nothing illegal had happened and he did not meet the individual.

In a statement, he said: "Were there Twitch whisper messages with an individual minor back in 2017? The answer is yes.

"Were there real intentions behind these messages, the answer is absolutely not. These were casual, mutual conversations that sometimes leaned too much in the direction of being inappropriate, but nothing more.

"Nothing illegal happened, no pictures were shared, no crimes were committed, I never even met the individual.

"I went through a lengthy arbitration regarding a civil dispute with twitch and that case was resolved by a settlement.

"Let me be clear, it was not a criminal case against me and no criminal charges have ever been brought against me."
