In the world of Polish influencers, it is rare for a simple tattoo to become the source of such a storm. However, the story of a young fan of the popular youtuber Prince, who tattooed his iconic "MUALA" on her stomach, quickly ran the internet. The tattoo photo, initially made available by the Prince himself on Instagram, disappeared as quickly as it caused a wave of speculation. An additional taste is added by the fact that scars are seen on the hands of the girls after self-harm, which moved commentators. Is this an expression of dedication to the idol or a cry for help? Let's take a closer look at this story that has a chance to become a viral of the year.
Start of the affair: Tattoo that conquered the network
It all started with a post on the X platform (formerly Twitter), where the user @John Trabolta1 released screenshot of the Prince's account. The picture shows the belly of a young woman with a fresh tattoo "MUALA" – stylized on a melting inscription, with drops of ink flowing down. The tattoo was made in the handpoke style, or manual puncture, which gives it a harsh, underground character. The signature under the relation was simply "grubly xd", and the tag led to the tattoo studio @handpoke heaven.
The prince, known for his reviews of kebabs and restaurants, where "MUALA" is his highest rating (something like "a masterpiece" in the world of fast food), apparently appreciated the gesture of a fan. He shared a photo in his account, which for many was a signal of approval. However, shortly after, the relationship disappeared, and Prince removed the lair from the tattoo profile on Instagram. Why? Internet users speculate that the influencer may have been afraid of negative comments or simply felt that the case had gone too far.
Scars on Hands: A Controversial Details That Shaked Fans
What really sparked the discussion is not the tattoo itself, but the scar on the girl's hands. In the comments under the post on X and Instagram, users quickly noticed "spins" – traces of self-harm, which indicate possible mental problems. One of the comments was, "Get in that tattoo, but why did you cut yourself? If you need help, write to a psychologist." Another added, "Looks like the chick's got problems with herself, cut herself... and now she's trying to shine stupid."
Post of a tattoo artist on Instagram (link: https://www.instagram.com/p/DRIQXWhDLgJ/He only warmed the atmosphere. Description: "The book has detached xd🙏Thanks to the viewers😜😜 #muala" suggests that she herself is interested in aware of controversy and even jokes about influencer reaction. Post comments are full of blends of admiration, concern and criticism. Some netizens praise the courage: "The honor of dedication to idol!", others warn: "This is not healthy, tattoo is forever, and mental problems need to be treated".
Who is Prince, and why has "MUALA" become cult?
For those who do not follow Polish YouTube, Prince (real name: not publicly disclosed) is youtube from Warsaw, which gained fame thanks to a series of reviews of kebabs, Chinese bars and other fast food. His signature? The "MUALA" sticker, which only gives the best places. It's not just an assessment – it's a brand. The Prince reported "MUALA" as a trademark in December 2023, which even led to litigation (he won the case in March 2024).
Influencer has more than a million followers on Instagram (@ksiazulo) and tens of thousands on X. His bio is simply "M U A L A", and fans create a whole culture around it – from cups with inscription to... tattoos. It's not the first time someone has tattooed "MUALA". Earlier cases, like a fan tattoo with a hidden "MUALA" in a different pattern, were accepted with humor. But this case is different – because of the personal context.
Community response: From laughter to serious discussions
Afera szybko rozlała się po sieci. Na X post @John_Trabolta1 zebrał ponad 4 tysiące lajków i setki komentarzy. Użytkownicy żartują: “Przychodzę do tatuatora i mówię ‘na cwela poproszę'”, ale też dzielą się refleksjami: “Może potrzeba atencji patrząc po ręce”. Inni dzielą się własnymi historiami: “Ja 2 tygodnie zrobiłem sobie taki, fajny?”.
The subject also raised wider discussions about fandom and mental health. In the age of influencers fans often go all the way to draw attention to the idol – but where does passion end and obsession begin? Psychologists warn that tattoos inspired by celebrities can be a form of escapism, especially in people with problems.
The prince did not comment publicly, but his actions (removement of the relationship and the lair) suggest that he does not want to be associated with controversy. Is this the end of history or the beginning of a bigger drama?
Lesson for Fans and Idols
Ta historia pokazuje, jak cienka jest granica między podziwem a czymś bardziej niepokojącym. Tatuaż “MUALA” miał być hołdem, a stał się symbolem dyskusji o samookaleczeniu i potrzebie uwagi. Jeśli jesteś fanem Książula, pamiętaj: “MUALA” lepiej nakleić na kebaba niż na skórę. A jeśli zmagasz się z problemami – szukaj pomocy, nie lajków.
