bet that caught your eye. now have some lulz.

One of the more humorous tattoo-related stories of 2003 starred a man who needed heart bypass surgery, which involves transplanting a vein from the leg to use as a conduit in the chest. If a tattoo is cut through during surgery, there is no guarantee it will be the same afterwards, both due to the scarring obscuring the tattoo, parts of the tattoo being physically removed, as well as edges not matching up properly.
Pictured below is the abovementioned patient who went in for the procedure at Leeds General in the UK. His old leg tattoo used to read "I LOVE WOMEN", but now, after the surgery, it has been damaged somewhat and reads "I LOVE MEN". He claims he is now too embarrassed to wear shorts.

below are his chest tattoo and his leg tattoo following his surgery.

Yes. Or he can just draw it back on w/ a green sharpie. Ugly piece of crap tattoos those are.

I agree. The originals suck. He can actually have the whole thing removed and redone. The removal is gonna cost him a bit, as it would entail a little plastic surgery.
