Dancing With the Stars<\/strong><\/em> pro Brandon Armstrong<\/strong> appeared to get a tattoo after he and Lauren Jauregui<\/a><\/strong> were eliminated from Season 34, but the truth is, he actually didn’t.<\/p>\n The confession came during a recent sit-down on Joe Vulpis’ podcast<\/a>, which was released on Nov. 1. Vulpis asked Armstrong if he really got a tattoo after the show to which Brandon replied, “no.”<\/p>\n For those unfamiliar, Armstrong posted a TikTok<\/a> of himself appearing to get inked with the word “pissed” \u2014 the one word that Jauregui used to describe how she felt after getting eliminated. The idea came from ballroom pro Ezra Sosa, who decided to get the word “nothing” tattooed on his back to commemorate his Season 33 partner’s (Anna Delvey) response to what she’d be taking away from her experience on the show.<\/p>\n On Vulpis’ podcast, Armstrong explained his thought process behind posting the fake video.<\/p>\n “I’m view hungry, baby. That’s all I want,” Armstrong said on the podcast. “\u201cLet’s get to me. I don’t have a lot of followers on TikTok,” he explained. “[I’m] still struggling. If I can get the 1M on TikTok, I’ll go live and we can all go get the tattoo together. How about that?”<\/p>\n Fans reacted to Armstrong’s confession \u2014 and his apparent promise \u2014 in a clip of the interview posted on TikTok<\/a>.<\/p>\n “Oh Brandon we WILL get you there,” one person wrote.<\/p>\n “I WISH they showed more of Brandon\u2019s personality on DWTS. He is FUNNY! Get Brandon his followers,” someone else said.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Sosa \u2014 whose tattoo is very real \u2014 responded to the confession in his own hilarious way. “\u2026i could\u2019ve faked it,” he wrote.<\/p>\n This story was originally reported by Parade<\/a> on Nov 2, 2025, where it first appeared in the Celebs<\/a> section.
