A New Jersey woman has been arrested for killing a 22-year-old student who died after having her buttocks injected with silicone.

Tamira Mobley, 28, was charged with assault and manslaughter on Monday by police investigating the homicide of Tamara Blaine.

Miss Blaine, who had a young son, was found foaming at the mouth in a pay-per-hour Manhattan hotel last July.

Miss Blaine's death was ruled a homicide in October.

Police believe she had gone to the Liberty Inn Hotel on July 8 last year to get butt injections.

Security camera footage showed Mobley arriving at the pay-per-hour hotel with Miss Blaine on the day she died.

Records show the 28-year-old also paid for the room on her credit card, and was at the hotel when police arrived, according to the New York Post.

Mobley has admitted being with the victim on July 8, but she denied injecting her with silicone.

Miss Blaine, from Brooklyn, had been going to college part-time while caring for her young son,  Amari Bermudez, who was born shortly after she graduated high school.

When police and emergency crew arrived at the Liberty Hotel, which describes itself as a 'rendezvous for romance', she appeared to be suffering from a seizure.

The autopsy revealed two puncture wounds and traces of silicone were found in the young mom's blood. The injuries could not have been self-inflicted, the medical examiner said.

There has been a concerning rise in the number of women seeking black-market injections, where silicone or other industrial-type fillers are injected to create a bigger butt.

Many of the procedures are carried out by people with no medical training, and the injections can cause death or serious injury.

Why is having a big bottom a 'good look?'

This current fixation with enlarging women's butts to sometimes grotesque sizes is alarming and dangerous. Years ago, women wore girdles to minimize their butts. Another example of how we're never satisfied with what we've got.

It amazes me with all the horror stories we have heard about these procedures that some women are still getting done. Not by a medical professional or in a medical facility.

Why won't people get this done properly with a certified surgeon? If you can't afford to get it done the proper way, either you put a little money to the side OR don't get it at all.

I worked as a stripper in Atlanta, Georgia (the booty capital of the USA!) for years. I've seen butt implants, fat grafts, hydrogel injections, and illegal injections like these. The only legal/semi-safe ways to artificially enlarge your butt are implants and fat grafts. Implants always look terrible and shift, plus you have two HUGE incisions and you have to lay on your stomach for a MONTH after surgery. Any injectable (and NOTHING is FDA legal to inject into the ass, HydroGel is used off-label) is going to melt down into the back of your thighs (if it doesn't kill you first!). The only good result I've ever seen is the Brazilian butt lift, where they harvest fat from your torso and thighs to inject into your butt. :::shudder:::

People that get butt injections are idiots, it looks horrible no one in their right mind should want to look like they do with injections. It's not flattering and definitely sexy it's called stupid!
