Tabitha West, from Fulton, New York, decided having a giant tattoo on her forehead that reads “420,” a synonym for marijuana, wasn’t helping her win friends and influence people like she thought it would.
So what’s the next logical step: ask strangers for money to get it removed.
That’s right, in the modern age if you want something, you just go down to your local library, hop on a free computer, and set up a GoFundMe page to watch the dollars roll in.
Tabitha’s page, “Removal for my forehead tattoo” had a goal of $800 and she’s already surpassed it with a current total of $1,084. Her description reads:
“I am wanti,g $ to get that tattoo off my for head I want to have a better start out in life and have a second chance at life please help me I was young n dumb when I got that I’m older one looking for a job can’t get out and people call me a druggie every day of my life and being called 420 is not nice and I almost killed my self over it. ..can’t stand to look at my face anymore. .save a life save me..invest in me and I will show you I can be better with my life. ..thank you”
And though people are giving her money, including one person who vowed to pay for the entire procedure, the comments on the page have been less than encouraging…
Kristy Buskey- “Grow some bangs and get a job. Problem solved. People like you abusing thos site ruin it for others who actually need help raising money for medical and other emergecies. If you worked at all in the last year income tax season is coming up there should be no excuse. ”
Jair Morales – “People who donated.. you are all fu-king idiots.”
Shawn Morse- “Its people like you that keep my sick girl from getting help. My daughter has three brain tumors, cerebral palsy, neurofibromatosis, an optic glioma, & a feeding tube. My daughters GoFundMe keeps getting passed over for things like this. There are too many people begging for money for their bad decisions in their life, meanwhile my very sick 10 year old daughter can get the help she needs. I’m outraged that this is being used to remove a tattoo, so my daughters GoFundMe just gets passed by and buried just like the other girl who is begging for money because she doesn’t want to work.”
There was one fan of the tattoo who wrote: “I’ll pledge $1000 to keep it.”
Exit thought from a fellow tattoo enthusiast…
