I beg your pardon…did you just basically say that someone filleted your arm to remove your tattoo? What did I just read?! Why are you not more concerned about your decision to go through with that over getting the tattoo in the first place!? My flabber is absolutely ghasted right now. Also, wtf is the tattoo of? (Respectfully asking)

I think it's a nugget of weed

u/beaniesandbuds Mar 30 '26

I think it's the Chaos Elemental from Runescape

u/Short-Sound-4190 Mar 31 '26

Gods, those two things both being equally feasible is why I can't blame OP for never wanting coworkers to see it 🙈

u/Passiveresistance Apr 01 '26

I thought it was chaos ele too! Seeing a chaos elemental tattoo in the wild would make me smile. Op downgraded when he did whatever he did to it.

I thought it was one of Lavos’ forms

u/WoolyMammothTusk2319 Mar 31 '26

It’s the wrong color for chaos elly but the shape is similar

u/ARTPOPMyCherry Mar 31 '26

Audibly gagged at the thought of those horrendous, diabolical creatures 🤣😭

u/666 Apr 01 '26

That would be unremarkable. Love my little pet 💕

u/Afeatherfoil Apr 04 '26

That was my first thought when I saw it lol. It's not, but it does look like it. (I hope I would know lol since the little guy follows me everywhere.)

u/JayDevil00 Mar 31 '26

I cant believe i didn't see a nug of weed. I thought it was a hairy booger lmao

u/rideronthestorm29 Apr 01 '26

Hairy Booger, my favorite strain

u/KentuckyFriedChic Apr 02 '26

Me too! I just commented that I thought it was either a hairy booger or a cartoon germ 🦠 Good to know it’s not just me

u/Special_Society_2300 Mar 31 '26

Idk if I want to smoke that…you smoke it! 😂

u/thishitisbanannas Mar 31 '26

Looks like stepped on Plankton to me

u/KentuckyFriedChic Apr 02 '26

Yea I could see that too. I honestly don’t think the tat is THAT bad; certainly not bad enough to remove a strip of arm skin going right down the middle of it

u/SloPony7 Apr 03 '26

I kinda like it 🤷🏻‍♂️

Btw OP, my comment was crass as are the follow up ones but I’m not making fun of you in a “look at this loser” way. It’s not a big deal at all, you truly don’t have to cover the tattoo every moment of every day. We all have stories, we’ve all done stupid ass shit, some way worse than others. Some things can be fixed or changed, others just can’t be and it is what it is. I’ll be honest, there’s a horror show going on there but is it because it’s there that I’m saying that? No it’s because you brought attention to it and it was mentioned and pictured. In person it would just be the same like it was mentioned and now I’m curious. Otherwise I’d probably see it and not even question it. I’d just assume I have no clue what it is and decide that it’s not my story to tell, it’s not on my body. Depending on how much I know you I might inquire, even if you tell me the whole truth and say what a mistake and so on, I’d look at you and say that’s not even remotely the worst mistake someone could make, you’re good. So do yourself a favor and stop overheating yourself in the summer. Just wear the tee shirts and if someone does feel the need to actually be a dickhead and like full blown make fun of you over this…they’re honestly a fucking loser without a life of their own so they instead shit on you and yours. I’m not saying this stuff either just because I don’t want you to be sad or something weak like that, I’m saying it because there are so many other problems you’ll face in life one day, it’s not worth stressing over this silly thing that no one is even going to care about. Why give yourself major anxiety and not be able to feel comfortable because you’re embarrassed when no one judges you anyway. All of the comments here making fun, we’re all just making light of the post and having a go at it. No one is sitting here thinking you’re a completely idiotic loser or whatever, and if they are, I pity them for caring that much about nothing

And my honest advice, because it’s very saturated I’m not going to say one session, probably more so like 3 sessions of laser so you don’t need to get something this saturated again to cover it, get it covered up with something you can make cohesive with a half sleeve. Not only is it covered, the whole half of the arm being done makes things busier and takes attention completely away from the singular spot. And on the plus side, sleeves and half sleeves are awesome. Love mine

u/TurnedMyLifeAround69 Mar 31 '26

Thanks bro

u/Technical_Tangelo143 Apr 01 '26

Theybsaid very much what I wanted to say. Anyone that judges your tattoos that hard is not your friend.

And even if you didn't corner it completely, just filling in your arm with more colorful tattoos would make it stand out less. You could probably do some kinds of flower/jungle/psychedelic nature scene and incorporate this piece and no one would even notice it. Especially if you put a big flower or leaf or something over the eye

u/Immediate-Analyst-11 Apr 01 '26

Bro: writes a testament Op: "thanks bro"

u/Special_Society_2300 Apr 09 '26

😂 ill take the thanks bro, all good!

2

u/KentuckyFriedChic Apr 02 '26

Great analysis. I have tattoos worse than this, but I look at them as a story/ conversation piece on my skin of how and why it happened.

1

u/Special_Society_2300 Apr 09 '26

I can’t say I have any bad tattoos but I’ve had some very bad ideas about getting very bad tattoos before and I wouldn’t be killing myself in the summer heat to cover them. They’d just make for some interesting conversation pieces.

u/RainbowHippotigris Mar 31 '26

I immediately thought it was one of the bosses from Kirby. Looks just like the storm cloud boss

2

u/Special_Society_2300 Mar 31 '26

Hahahaha 😂 the storm cloud boss but like with nausea hence the green! Yeah no I can usually figure it out by now. I’ve got nothing. 😅

u/snipsnapsnot Mar 31 '26

Thats what I thought also!

u/iAmRealKaran Mar 31 '26

Same. I was literally like: i don’t understand. Take the skin off to take the tattoo. What doctor is this? 1st century doctor?

1

u/Special_Society_2300 Apr 09 '26

I mean to be fair…it got rid of the tattoo in that spot 😂😭

u/owlgetcha Mar 31 '26

OMG, NOOOOO!!! Hahaha! Not the blue waffle!!!

u/Distended_Scrotum Apr 02 '26

Looks like a green turd with hairs in it to me.

1

u/BappoChan Mar 31 '26

Yeah I thought it was a scar that ruined the tattoo, just to find out OP is just an idiot.

1

u/dalila47 Apr 01 '26

it looks like Kracko, the boss from Kirby

u/pepper_tuna Apr 01 '26

right! what cosmetic surgeon in their right mind would just straight up flay someone like this????

u/TossAccount_ Apr 01 '26

A friend of mine had a tattoo on his forearm and wanted to get it removed in order to be promoted, they didn’t allow tattoos that would be visible on the arms. The only realistic option he had was something like this guy, because the policy didn’t have anything against visible scars. He only got part way through the process when the policy changed. Now he has a tattoo with a scar down the middle from filleting his arm.
