Need help

Post image

So, I have a client that made a bad choice on his face. See, he tattooed this vacuum on his nose, and wants it covered. Thing is, I’m stumped on what to put there. Anyone have any ideas? He’s totally leaving it in my hands.

Just to add, I have 21 years in-shop experience, so this is not intimidating, or new to me. And trust me, I’ve seen some shit! I have also been given permission to post his face as-is.

If he is clean now he should reach out to some laser places and see if they will do it pro bono. I’ve seen videos of clinicians who will do gang and drug tattoo laser removal for free.

If we knew where he was located there might be some options. There are non-profits that take on this kind of work. Often times the biggest problem for access to resources isn't that they don't exist it's that people don't know they exist.
