And yet a sad soul appears to have gotten a tattoo of her pursed lip taking a selfie—which might be a modern-day sign of the apocalypse. We don’t know the context, but this photo has been making its rounds around the Internet. Hopefully it isn’t giving any Snapchatters ideas for their weekend itineraries. It looks like millennials haven’t learned the lessons of Gen-Xers about _NOT_ tattooing digital trends on their bodies. Hopefully this woman will regret her choices slightly less than those who [marked up their bodies with now-defunct websites during the early dot-com days.](http://www.buzzfeed.com/jackstuef/branded-for-life) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/93939/the-end-is-nigh-woman-gets-tattoo-of-herself-taking-a-selfie/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/93939/the-end-is-nigh-woman-gets-tattoo-of-herself-taking-a-selfie/"},"headline":"The End is Nigh: Woman Gets Tattoo of Herself Taking A Selfie","datePublished":"2014-05-09T14:57:36.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:09:32.772Z","description":"To make matters worse, she's doing duck face","url":"https://time.com/93939/the-end-is-nigh-woman-gets-tattoo-of-herself-taking-a-selfie/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Internet","viral","Instagram","selfie","tattoo"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Laura Stampler","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/laura-stampler/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/93939/the-end-is-nigh-woman-gets-tattoo-of-herself-taking-a-selfie/","name":"The End is Nigh: Woman Gets Tattoo of Herself Taking A Selfie"}}]}] ```
