A woman who made headlines for tattooing “TRUMP” across her forehead is now regretting her decision. Rain Monroe, a social media influencer and die-hard supporter of Donald Trump, initially showcased the tattoo as a bold statement of loyalty to the former president ahead of the 2024 election. However, after receiving a flood of negative reactions, Monroe is now exploring ways to have the tattoo removed and has even launched a fundraiser to cover the costs.
Facing Backlash Over the Tattoo
Rain Monroe’s dramatic Trump tattoo sparked both outrage and attention last month. The 21-year-old revealed her striking new ink in support of Trump’s MAGA movement, but the backlash that followed was overwhelming. Now, Monroe is thinking about spending thousands to remove the controversial tattoo and escape the unwanted negativity.
On her Instagram, Monroe held a sign that read, “Need cash to remove my tattoo,” explaining that the costs could be as high as $5,000 (around £3,814). Videos of her standing on the streets of London, asking passersby for help with the removal, quickly made the rounds on social media.

Struggling with the Hate
In her posts, Monroe admitted that the negative responses she’s received have taken a toll on her. “The hate from people has affected me,” she shared. Although she is considering removing the tattoo, Monroe remains unsure of her next steps. “I’m not getting the tattoo removed [yet],” she said, noting that she still has considerable support from her followers. “I love my supporters,” she added.
Some photos of Monroe show her sitting on the sidewalk holding a cardboard sign with her plea for funds, while others depict her standing tall, still proudly displaying the Trump tattoo. The mix of comments on her posts reflects the division her decision has caused.
Fans vs. Critics
Monroe’s followers remain divided. Some loyal Trump supporters encouraged her to keep the tattoo, with one fan commenting, “Don’t remove it! Best tattoo ever,” while another said, “Keep it! You’re a legend now.” However, others criticized her, accusing her of seeking attention and calling her decision foolish. “She just did this for clout and now she wants it removed,” one person remarked.
In a later video, Monroe humorously asked pedestrians if they would consider getting a Trump tattoo on their forehead for £1 million. Responses were mixed, ranging from disbelief to outright refusal.
Despite the controversy, Monroe continues to weigh her options regarding the tattoo, torn between the backlash and the support she has received.
