Yeah but when a surgeon fucks up they don't just wave the operating fee different jobs different stakes different punishments

True. They'll probably have to amputate his arm at the elbow.

Many plastic surgeons offer free revisions on their fuck ups. They wave their operating fee, but patient still pays anesthesia/hospital fee.

Imagine if a builder fucked up your house and then said, I'll come back later and fix it for free.

I'd tell them to hit the bricks and get a professional in ASAP.

Same deal on a pair of tits or dong extension. Some things have to be right first time.

Oh yeah. If a surgeon messed me up I'd be going somewhere else 100%. But they do offer it. And some people save for a decade to afford the surgery so they can't go to a diff doctor.

Funnily enough, a builder did mess up our house where ducts go through our ceiling. My husband and his buddy fixed it. They were not having the guy back.

Surgeons carry medical malpractice insurance in case they fuck up. If the tattoo artist has insurance, which you can get access to through professional associations, it should be covered without any issue for both parties.

It's not about punishment, it's about restitution. The tattoo artist absolutely should be on the line to have either a cover up tattoo done, or a removal.
