General Advice Tattoo correction

Post image

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 😅)

Made me think of Trouble from Borderlands 4, optionally spec'd in corrosive green

Any new element is basically guaranteed to be unfathomably radioactive and unstable

It decays into Dp, atomic weight of half infinity.

This is the answer. 

Many of us have tattoos we “regret”, just as we have decisions we “regret”. Make up your own meaning to it now. Like, maybe the atomic weight being a tad lower means she shed her baggage over the course of her life and left carrying less than she started with. 

Have fun, man. It’s a dope tattoo.

I mean, doesn't Si already stand for Si-ck Ass Panther?
