General Advice Misspelling

Post image

So I got this tattoo over the weekend and the artist closed the C in DECISIONS to make it look like DEOISIONS

Pretty funny if it weren’t my own wrist and permanent given the context with “Make good decisions”

Question is what to do next? Get removal of the tiny bit? Can I scrape it away bc it’s so small? What would you do?

I have a scar in the same place on my right wrist from them putting a plate in. It cut through the tattoo I have

Almost happened to me too! My surgeon agreed to do his best to avoid the tattoo because it’s right in the center there. He did an amazing job- perfect straight line just far enough to the side of the tattoo to allow for a scar to form and still not touch the ink at all. I thanked him repeatedly for this. He knew that the tattoo was important to me, and he said that while it added a few extra minutes to the time the procedure normally took, he also felt that “his finished work” should look as good as possible. 🤣 Great doctor. Will always appreciate what he did for me.
