The internet has gone wild for one man's ill-advised Pokemon tribute tattoo.
The image posted to Reddit by user yllwsnow2 shows an uneven and patchy black lizard-esque creature that is apparently supposed to be a rendition of Charmander, the fire Pokemon.

The strange nature of the scratchy design is likely due to the 27-year-old DIY tattooer being drunk and on the anxiety medication Xanax at the time. It was said to be based on Vaughn Pinpin's Tim Burton inspired Pokemon drawings.
