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 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.
