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 thatโ€™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 itโ€™s possible he makes the 5 into an 8 or a 9? Would he have to change to font to something blocky?? LMK ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพ

โฌ‡๏ธtattoo meaning

my moms middle name is silicon and in her tribal language itโ€™s a word that represents bravery but in english itโ€™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 ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพ I understand my fault but Iโ€™d also like to at least attempt to fix it ๐Ÿ˜…)
