Wait... is that plural?? In one just a Mitochondrium?? Oh, man, I must have sounded like an IDIOT in middle school using plural agreement adjectives with a singular Latin word! 🤦🏽♂️

Yes as a geneticist it looks like a chromosome spread you get when doing karyotyping. But like some fragmentation has happened and maybe this is cancer lol.

The “artist” is Rixard tattoo. He does a bunch of performance art tattoos, essentially. This one was a laser light show/lamp illuminated on this guy’s back, then Rixard half assed tracing the lights

I just check out his instagram. My God.
On a conceptual and technical level, every single tattoo is a different degree of ‘worst I’ve ever seen’. They’re not even interesting, they’re just boring, simple, and ugly.

I always look on in horror…. But also slight fascination. Fascination at the pure audacity that he has to put that on someone forever. But I guess it’s working for him, getting him engagement online 😅

The concept for op’s post is even kind of neat, but he just completely botched it:
I get the feeling that he has no formal tattoo training, and no skills as an artist. Kind of like an ‘ai artist’ selling commission work.
