Rain Monroe, 21, went viral last month after getting former US President Donald Trump’s surname inked across her forehead – but now says she is ‘weighing up her options’ after being trolled
A Donald Trump fan who made headlines for tattooing the ex-President’s last name on her forehead is now crowdfunding to get it removed.
Rain Monroe, a 21-year-old influencer, left people astounded last month with her extreme show of allegiance to the 2024 Republican Party candidate. However, she has now admitted that the backlash is taking its toll and she’s contemplating spending thousands to get rid of the ink job.
This week, Rain took to Instagram to share her plight, holding a sign that read: “Need money for tattoo removal” in a series of posts. With Trump’s name still etched across her forehead, she was spotted in London where she appealed to passers-by for financial help.
“The hate from people has affected me,” confessed British-born Rain, reports Jam Press. “I am raising money for the removal to be able to remove it. It can cost up to $5,000 (£3,814 approximately).”
However, she went on to admit: “I’m not getting the tattoo removed [yet] just weighing my options to see what’s best for me moving forward. But I also have so much support, so that’s why I don’t know [if I’ll remove it] yet. I love my supporters.”.
In one snap shared with her 19,000 followers, Rain appears downcast as she sat on the pavement with her plea scrawled on cardboard. The post had supporters and detractors alike weigh in on the controversial tattoo and her decision to either keep or remove it.
A passionate supporter pleaded: “Don’t remove it! Best tattoo ever.” While another added: “Keep it! You’re a legend now.” A third agreed: “No removal needed.”
However, a critic remarked: “She just did this for clout and now she wants it removed. That’s funny you can keep it girly.” Another simply wrote: “Let her live with her decision,” meanwhile a third added: “She’s trying to troll everyone at this point.”
In a follow-up video, Rain held an impromptu street survey where she asked passers-by about the price of their own forehead. “Would you get a Trump tattoo on your forehead for a million pounds?” she asked.
One person responded: “Make it 10 million and then maybe.” Another firmly stated: “Never.” Rain, who originally got inked at an East London tattoo parlour, has since taken to social media once more to add: “Still proud of my Trump tattoo, but exploring my options.
“Been getting some second opinions from my therapist about whether to keep it or consider removal. No regrets, just turns out I’m a Bad B.”
