Nemesis Paperwork Error Lists Him as Tattoo Artist

Slovenian esports pro Tim “Nemesis” Lipovšek says a long-running paperwork mix-up has left his official job description incorrectly listing him as a tattoo artist and piercing professional—despite his identity as a League of Legends player and Twitch streamer. The issue, he claims, began after a government system change in early 2025 that affected job categorization across the board, leaving his details wrong for more than a year.

Lipovšek says the Slovenian government grouped “streaming” and “League of Legends pro” together with the same category used for tattooing and piercing work, which then updated his formal employment description. He notes the change has been in place since January 1, 2025, and describes it as an administrative error rather than something he personally requested or completed.

In his explanation, Nemesis says he was instructed to prepare documents for the government and visited an office to remove the incorrect job description. When he asked how the change happened, he was told that on the first day of January 2025 there had been a system error tied to a legal update. He claims the system used for job descriptions effectively “randomized” categories for everyone, and that the government then sent emails asking people to manually correct their job titles. He says he did not receive that email, meaning he had no reason to realize his record was wrong.

Nemesis argues that the situation should not be treated as his responsibility, adding that he was told to expect further scrutiny if the description remained incorrect. He says that if the government threatens to remove his assets over the mismatch, he plans to dispute the change because he did not authorize it. He also says he will be required to “prove” that he lived in Korea, which he says will involve collecting and reviewing receipts as evidence.

According to his account, the requirement has been especially frustrating because he believes the government could verify his residency using online information. He says he is being asked to provide proof rather than having the authorities confirm it themselves through publicly accessible sources.

While the dispute is administrative, the practical takeaway for players and fans is that the esports star is dealing with a legal documentation problem that does not reflect his actual work. Lipovšek also suggested that, at least with his community, the tattoo-and-piercing label has not damaged his fanbase—joking that his chat already treats him like someone who could get paid for those services, even if the paperwork situation is the opposite of straightforward.
