tatfishing 

The act of someome pretending to have a tattoo that they don't actually have.

This is commonly achieved through image theft, photoshop, temporary tattoos, henna, fabric arm sleeves, markers,or even something as simple as verbal bluffing.

This is a separate phenomenon from people who sport fake tattoos or henna for costuming, acting roles, or decoration without the pretense that the "tattoo" is permanent.

If you find out that you're being tatfished by someone, RUN. The same people will fake pregnancies, suicide attempts, and all manners of things without remorse.
"Did you see Kaylie's awesome new chest piece that she posted on Facebook last week?"
"I just boned her yesterday. Her chest was clear. She's tatfishing you, bro."

"I realized he was tatfishing me with his pubic 'tattoo' after my saliva smudged it."

"Everyone knows that if you ask someone if they have a tattoo and they allude to having one somewhere private, there's a 50/50 chance they're just tatfishing you."

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
