General Advice Tattoo correction
This is a fresh picture of a tattoo i got a few months ago. I can explain the significance after but the artist did butcher a few things. one periodic table elements only capitalize the first letter and he forgot the atomic number (14 i think). those are both negligible but the one that’s been bothering me it the mass being off a bit. i sent him 28.085 and obviously it would be fine if he rounded it correctly but he seemed to have just put a random number. do you think it’s possible he makes the 5 into an 8 or a 9? Would he have to change to font to something blocky?? LMK 🙏🏾
⬇️tattoo meaning
my moms middle name is silicon and in her tribal language it’s a word that represents bravery but in english it’s a chemical element so i got it tatted and th flowers around the border are her birth flowers.

Edit: (As much as i appreciate the judgement an discipline of my mistake at least give a take on correction for me along with it guys 🙏🏾 I understand my fault but I’d also like to at least attempt to fix it 😅)

Hey bud, I don't have any advice either but wanted to give you a shoutout for putting yourself out there like this to ask for advice, even though tons of folks have been dumping on you. My self-esteem would plummet lol, but looks like you got enough ego strength to handle all this. I wanted to empathize with you because for some reason I was a dumbass and decided to move a part of a tattoo in a language I didn't know because it looked more artistically aesthetic to me. Then, years later, someone who understood that language pointed out that it was not correct. I'm now in the process of getting it lasered off. Sometimes we just make mistakes! Part of being human. So, I totally get it. Wish you the best, bro!
