They can be removed, but the process is expensive and the results aren't necessarily very good.

I would never remove it. That is stated in the terms I wrote :D

Anyhow, that tattoo would pay mine and my wife's biggest dream. The one we're been chasing many, many years. The last 10 months I've been living in uncertainty and maybe even fear, that I have cancer in my lungs. Fridays doctor appointment proved that I don't have it, so besides that being a humongous relief, it also showed me that life is very unpredictable, and very, very short. It showed that one needs to live the life, not just go on autopilot.

So I have a "second chance" of sorts, and I'm gonna make the most of it. I need the money to fulfill my dream. I don't want to chase it anymore, I want it to be reality :)

Glad to hear that your health is ok :)

Not to sound cheesy, but people only realise how important health is when it's taken away from them.

That is sadly true..

Btw, If I had the technical know-how, possibility and if it would be legal (don't know if it is), I would put up a webpage with paypal donate button :D

"please donate a few coins to poor old gamer (POG)" XD

I tried putting the ad on ebay, and after a shitload of difficulties (had to add my credit card to paypal account and such stuff..) it informs me that I can't sell more than 500$. What.the.fuck.

I'm so pissed right now... Why does everything needs to be so fucking difficult? Why won't any of this just work? Really. Nothing ever works for me. And now I have to bury this idea too. Fucking hell..

If you need a hand setting up a web page, let me know. I'm outta work at the moment, so I could enjoy a bit of coding. Can't do anything about hosting mind, but others may be able to help. You could link it from your ebay (or equivalent) page, thus making the auction a 'dead rubber' as you'll reject all bids, just accept those that come through to a linked page.

I didn't understand any of this... what? How does that work?

But if you can help, I would really appreciate it...

And I need to buy a new mouse. I threw the old one to the wall in pure frustration. It's broken now..

And as a last desperate attempt, I made a chipin page..

Don't know though if it would be appropriate in any way to link it in these forums, since that might be considered begging.

But do remember, I promised that I would get a GoG tattoo if I can save up the required 5000€ for the trip :)

Shouldn't you be selling your knee? Specifically the knee cap?

That was actually funny! :D

Okay, since my plan with ebay "slightly" backfired, I put up a chipin page as a last resort...

Please tell me if this is rude or otherwise not allowed, and I will remove this. I really don't want to be seen as a beggar...

So, if there's a kind souls who would like to help me with my dream, then thank you so much...
