Tabitha West had a goal of raising $800 so she could get an insane "420" tattoo removed from her forehead. Well, she reached her goal alright, and it only took one day. Because people felt that bad.
Unless you're a super famous boxer with a passion for pigeons, there's really no reason for anyone to get anything tattooed on their face. Some of us, however, have to learn this simple truth the hard way.
Complex reports West started her campaign on Wednesday with the message:
I am wanting $ 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
Is it just me, or is that actually pretty endearing? Others thought so too and added positive comments with their donations. One Australian woman wrote,
Good on you for having to wisdom and maturity to turn a negative situation into a good outcome. Wish I could help more, hopefully the exchange rate Aussie to American dollar is good.
It looks like West learned her lesson after raising the full $800. She updated her fundraising page with a thank you note and a message for the haters out there:
People that disliked my fund raiser you can kiss my ass sorry.
You tell 'em, Tabitha.
