I love my unique look — it’s a shame boring, uptight women have nothing better to do than criticize me

Different strokes for different folks.

Amy Matthew, 43, loves her unique look — her bright rainbow-dyed hair, piercings and inked-up body are an expression of her personality.

If only her neighbors felt that way.

Now, the influencer has gone viral on TikTok with a video sharing the difficulties she faces from the “boring, beige, Botoxed” moms who can’t help but call her out in public for the way she presents herself.

Matthews, 43, shared in a post to the popular social media site that she was grocery shopping at the United Kingdom-based Asda, when another woman approached her and criticized her.

“So the … beige moms have had me again in Asda just now,” Matthews began. 

“I was on the cheese aisle and I look up and I see it — this sea of beige, Botox heading my way, sniggering,” she recalled the experience.

The woman then tells her: “You’re brave!”

“So I looked at her and I went, ‘Brave?’ And she went, ‘With that look — it’s not normal is it?'” Matthews said.

The user then shot back to the critical mom: “Well I’d rather look like this if THAT is normal!”

“Cheeky f–king bastards,” she added.

Her followers flew to her comments section to express their support for Matthews’ physical appearance and troll the “boring” woman.

“It’s the audacity for me. In 2023 ppl still feel the need to comment on ppls appearance,” one person penned.

Another person scribed: “It’s the fact they feel the need to say something to you. You look fab, ignore them.”

Someone else rolled their eyes: “Good God some people really need to get a life — and a bit of basic human kindness! You look amazing!”

“People really need to get into the real world. Colored hair tattoos and piercings is normal these days,” a person chimed in.

“The absolute neck of some people thinking they have the right to comment on somebody’s appearance. if it was the other way round they wouldn’t like it,” another wrote.
