Adjusting the numbers in a tattoo?

Hi.... I've made a mistake and gave the incorrect numbers to my
artist. Now I have an eight where I should have a seven and vice-
versa. I know.... stupid... but it was my first piece and I'd just
had a row with my wife about it all, so was flustered and got
confused....

Anyway, before I go and creep back in to the store, what are my
options for switching them over - I can see a 7 easily becoming an 8,
but not sure how he'll "erase" half an 8 to be a 7

Umm... skin transplant? That would be awesome, come to think of it.
There's a danger of the transplanted skin falling off though.

Seriously, several options, depending on what the entire piece looks
like:
-get the numbers done considerably bigger so you can hide the old
numbers in the new ones
-get the numbers covered with something else and get the correct
numbers tattooed elsewhere (or underneath, or whatever)
-get the wrong numbers lasered off and then redone.

in your case, i'd probably go get the $40 worth of lasering done &
start fresh. &, you know, not be on crack next time.

It's probably not too late to drink a fifth of Jack and sit in a hot
tub so you cover the tat with hot water and bubbles. Then,
immediately dry the tat, cover with suntan oil and lay in the sun
until your skin burns. Cover the tat with Vaseline and then wrap in
Saran Wrap.

Shower 5 times a day, being sure to rub tat with a loofah. Use an
anti-bacterial soap. Dry briskly with towel. When not in shower,
hot tub or sun, keep tat covered in Vaseline and wrapped in Saran
Wrap.

Thanks to all, I went and discussed it with the studio who put me in
touch with a chain of clinics that specialise in all forms of cosmetic
surgery. A very nice lady lasered the offending number and should be
gone after a couple more sessions. It felt like it was very sunburnt
for a day or two, but didn't cost the earth.

And thus starts another problem . . .

Kevin, I suspect your cup will always be half empty.

so did you accidentally make your daughter's birth year '70
instead of '07 or what?

anyhow, thanks for reporting back.

Why do people get tattoos?
People sometimes get tattoos for personal reasons, like for courage or
for loved ones, but sometimes people get tattoos to give the
impression of coolness or popularity. I personally like them because
they are a personal form of art. In a way the body is the canvas.
