A woman now expresses deep regret after having an upside-down pineapple tattoo inked on her arm, completely unaware of its hidden cheeky meaning.
A passionate enthusiast of body art, Brittany Lewin has been absolutely mortified after discovering that her choice of an upside-down pineapple design within a triangle on her indeed carries a rather naughty meaning. As a result, she believed she'd made a bit of a mistake.
On TikTok, Brittany uploaded a video wherein she showcased a text exchange with a friend who inquired, “Is that an upside-down pineapple?”
Brittany replied: “Hahaha not when my arm is down.” Alongside a photo for illustrative purpose.
Her friend's reply, “It’s still gonna make me giggle.I only just found out what an upside-down pineapple tattoo actually means," left her somewhat puzzled. Remaining oblivious, Brittany queried, "Wait, what?" before resorting to Google to unravel the mystery.
Brittany, from Australia, embarked on a rapid Google search and was stunned after realizing its true meaning. She discovered that an upside-down pineapple carries a covert significance among swingers, serving as a discreet emblem to recognize one another and indicate they're actively looking for a partner swap.
Brittany told her followers: "Besties!! I post stories daily with my arm like this..."
The revelation triggered a wave of amusement among numerous individuals, with several confessing their own lack of awareness regarding this cheeky meaning.
One person said: I'm not one of the wisest people on this subject but even I know the meaning of an upside-down point apple, lol
A second wrote: The pineapple means different things to different people. For some fertility, and for others wealth. My pineapple tattoo means Ominato, Japan due to the sea pineapples at the bottom of the bay.
A third said: I just found out last year what it meant and I’m 53 years old. Had no clue.
Someone else joked: With that attitude, she is not going to make very many friends at the club!
Another said: I had no idea, either!
According to the website Cruisemummy: "Pineapples are used as a secret way for swingers to identify each other. If you see someone wearing an upside-down pineapple badge or pin, it means that they're actively looking for a partner swap. An upside-down pineapple on someone's front porch can be seen as an invitation to join a swinger party."
