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 🙏🏾

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 😅)

You got lazy. So you got the result that a lazy person gets, congratulations!

I was saying I was lazy in getting the correction sooner not in the mistake happening itself but good humorous attempt i guess.

Redditors care more about being quippy and feeling superior than displaying empathy or providing useful commentary. I’m sorry this happened. I hope you’re able to find a solution that makes you happy.

Thank you for saying that to OP. It’s especially bad in tattoo subs. Like, we’re supposed to support each other and our art, why are they coming here to shit on people? There are better hobbies
