This is what happens when you tattoo Charmander on yourself, drunk, and with no experience
It's super ineffective

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

The internet has been guffawing over this guy's attempt at a Charmander tattoo this morning, which apparently was done "with no experience or artistic ability" while drunk and on Xanax.
The shading's terrible, the outline's jagged, the colouring's non-existent and the tail flame looks all sad and impotent.
If it evolved, it wouldn't be into a Charmeleon but a Charfnnerferggferzzzr. The reaction memes are already plentiful:
Reddit user yllwsnow2 (of course that's his username) has since clarified who the "artist" was, and he looks exactly like you'd expect:
27-years-old, the man apparently "woke up the next morning and asked his friend why he didn't stop him. His friend said he tried multiple times."
