This actually happens with a lot of burns! When the first few layers of skin are removed, the tattoo underneath is still very intact and looks a lot sharper. Though i do agree, wonderful art!!!
It's not racist, white skin shows contrast a lot better than all skin tones. It sucks being brown sometimes especially when you love black and grey ink :(
God damnit bro youre breaking my heart right now !!! I fucking love art and making black ink drawings is my business. . . Lol. . .here take my white skin god damnit
You’re not racist, but if you‘ve ever watched Ink Master, you’d see that people did think that darker skin = worse looking tattoos. When the contestants were able to choose which tattoo artist got which “canvas”, they always intentionally gave the dark-skinned people to those who they disliked because the tattoo wouldn’t be as visible.
There are tattoo artists who specialize in colorful tattoos for people with more melanin! Their art is gorgeous.
It's unfortunate though, that this is a specialized thing. How to tattoo all skin types, (and how to do it well) should be covered during their apprenticeship. It is getting better, just wish it was already a known accepted thing
The melanocytes were fried and are incapable of producing melanin. Depending on the current tho it could be temporary or permanent if the damage couldn’t be repaired and the melanocytes died.
It looks more like the layer that contains the melanin was fried off and we're seeing a deeper layer of skin that's not normally exposed so contains no pigment
makes sense given how fresh the tattoos look. Poor guy that must be painful! I wonder if he needs the arm bandaged for a couple of weeks? will it blister?
Others commented on how he was smiIing despite the circumstances, and people pointed out hospital meds. I imagine it would need a wet dressing. Nad, but blistering would probs depend on how many layers deep the burn goes.
Electrocution doesn’t mean dead, it means injured by electricity. Even then, it’s the contact that is the electrocution and the injury is more of a byproduct bc not every electric shock ends with injury
I was wrong, it is a combination of “electricity” and “execution” to mean death! And “electric shock” is the term used to describe the contact with electricity, while electrocution is the fatality of electric shock
I had a teacher who dyed his hair black who said his hair turned white when he was hit by lightning and thats why he dyes it. I didnt believe him but maybe he was telling the truth.
I guess it's technically possible as hair color is dictated by the same mechanism but I feel like surviving a lightning bolt to the dome is much less likely.
Edit: I've vastly overestimated how deadly lightning is.
Not an expert but melanin is a metabolically replicated and replaceable as you shed skin cells naturally. Tattoos use an inert dye that is more or less permanent.
I suspect that the electrocution affected the cells function to produce sufficient melanin (it looks like his arm is still producing ~20% melanin - it is not albinism).
This may be temporary or permanent.
A dermatologist might be able to shed more nor light (pun intended) on the topic.
I'm writing you a prescription for 10 cookouts, 50 aw hæll naws, one in the morning one at night; and 3 waffle house fights with the cook to be taken past midnight but before 6am
Electrocution means death. Was was just shocked. And pretty severely. This will only be the beginning of a long recovery. He will most likely have 2nd or 3rd degree burns.
Damn. I get electrocuted and all I got was a speech impediment..
(Didn't lose any of my million and a half freckles tho) huh. 🤷♀️. Just scrambled my brain a bit. 100% Do . NOT. Recommend!
It's funny how people are so racist and yet we are all the same underneath. I hate the current society. So many dinosaurs around we need another astroid 🤡🤣
You typically say someone was shocked if they didn't die. If you've been electrocuted it means you're dead. People get shocked and go home, people get electrocuted and they're fried, cooked, or blown up.
Yikes 😬 to the whole ordeal. But that is a phenomenal work of art! 🤯 the extremely rare case of someone being impressed by a catastrophic injury as opposed to devastated. ❤️🩹
This is extremely pedantic and doesn't matter at all but I can't help but point out that TECHNICALLY he was shocked, electrocution is a cause of death and by the strictest technical definition you cannot be electrocuted and live.
But the fact that it shocked his arm was probably why he lived since based on the pattern none of the current was able to reach and mess with his heart.
As someone who also works with electricity 👀 holy crap he was electrocuted while using his left hand?! 😭 That sooooo fucking dangerous! I was warned about touching live wires with the left hand cause it's closer to the heart should the current travel up your arm.
Give this man a big hug!!! Wishing him an easy recovery ❤️
Also, the impression left looks sick combined with the tats 👍
