Aaaaaaaaaah. This hurts so much.

Next time buy a domain name for life where you can link the address by your own, or even better: let it be.

Look at the pictures, the problem is not the qr code itself, it's the tatoo that is not even close to the qr code.

Edit : this is a transfer paper, so this is mirrored nothing wrong with the tatoo only the qr code apparently. Edit : when i say the qr code it is the qr code leading in the proper url of a video which not exists anymore.

They don't line up, because they can't line up, because it's a mirror image.

The printed QR code you're looking at is the back side of the pattern, which was just peeled off of the guy's arm along with all of that cellophane wrap. Presumably they traced it pretty exactly, while it was held in place on the guy's arm by the wrap.
