A new spin on tattoo cover-ups.

My first reaction to this photo was “OUCH!”  This electrocautery BME logo is forever imprinted into IAM member Chavito.

    Cover up? Closer view? Someone was slacking with this post.

    That will be interesting to see all healed up, I like the idea

    I find it extremely interesting how you can still see the ink even through the burns. I wonder what that will look like healed and if the scars will diminish the ink they cover or if there will still be definitive shadows.

    Sean - Slacking? All we were sent were these two photos. They’re almost identical. The second is closer. There was no explanation. I don’t know if it’s a cover up or not, it was kind of a joke. Unfortunately I can only work with what I’m given and in this case it was 2 photos and the name of the person whose body this is. Maybe if Chavito sees the post he can offer more insight into it.

    Much better than a big dark cover up tattoo!

    I think its cool that you can still see pieces of the tattoos in parts of the scar… I was going to continue but then I read the other comments which I usually do before hand. Im just going to say. I second what Muna said

    i got a gnarly burn on one of my tattoos last summer, and nothing happened to the ink in that spot, except it is slightly darker now… would love to see a healed pic!

    since the skin has been burned i wonder what the discoloration would look like the ink is still in the skin its just been alterd

    Ooh, I’m curious to see how it heals! I hope they send follow-up photos.

    shouldn’t this be counted as branding ? not scarification ?

    i’d like to see how it heals, can anyone make out the tatto ?

    i think this looks awesome. idk why people don’t like it. i’m very curious how the underlying ink will be affected by the scarring.
