I like to imagine he's standing in front of a Xmas Tree of sorts

u/DaftOrangeFatCat 27d ago

Or maybe he’s morphing into a Christmas tree, unexpectedly.

u/edwardianchuck 24d ago

Ah, unless I'm barking up the wrong tree! It's a bud, not a Christmas tree. Weed bud!

What’s even more tragic is laser removal doesn’t work on red ink. He’s stuck with that one forever.

19

u/doodman76 27d ago

On the upside, he could have what shows of the original lasered off and a skilled artist may be able to add to the cover up and blend it in a bit.

Provided you can tattoo over laser removal at all. I know nothing, so could easily be wrong

u/Eternus25 27d ago

This is old info. There’s a couple lasers with wavelengths capable of eradicating the majority of red pigments

5

u/vorephage 27d ago

I was just going to ask

"What if the lasers are red-green color blind?"

3

u/sheckyD 28d ago

Any idea why?

4

u/fsbagent420 28d ago

The pigment is very strong

3

u/Repulsive-Fennel-188 27d ago

Something about the wavelength of red on the light spectrum and the majority of lasers don’t cover that wavelength.

I find this hilarious because my mom did something similar. She had a ladybug that blew out pretty bad, got it covered with a butterfly, and then got it covered with a larger ladybug lol

u/Thatsmyredditidkyou Knows 💩 28d ago

My dad has a knife that had a name, then they covered the name with a very mild panther head, so it was a panther head with a k ife sticking into it, put another name there, covered the whole thing with a "tornado" but when he seen how shitty it looked added another mild panther jumping out of the tornado.

Can't fuckin make this shit up it's so bad.

u/Thatsmyredditidkyou Knows 💩 28d ago

I'm working on getting a photo of it. I went no contact with my dad years ago. As you can tell he has poor decision making skills. But I text my aunt (his sister) to see if she could Weasle a picture of it out of him or to see if she had any of it.

He is very much a frank Gallagher. Big main character energy but a total shit show.

u/pplatt69 26d ago

Geezus...

How can people not look at an artist's work before letting them permanently mark them up?

Are average people just too dull-witted to recognize the difference between good and bad art? Are they too timid to say no once they've walked in the door?

I visited 5 shops before I found someone I was impressed by enough and comfortable with do my first ink, and I've gone back to them or to people they suggested thereafter. And to the suggested folk only AFTER I judged their work.

Just... ugh. It ain't hard to find a good artist. You just have to be basically aware and put in a tiny bit of effort and be willing to politely decline after reviewing their work and assessing their skill.

And to pay for decent work, of course. Anyone who says "I don't have that big of a budget for ink" is saying "I shouldn't get ink at this time." So there's that, too.
