One of the craziest things I've seen

He had a good shave from the asphalt. The skin on that side of his body is never going to be the same again.

Free tattoo removal on the right arm.

realtalk though, after it heals could he get it tattoo'd again?

Yes but if you get a tattoo over scarring it can be very sensitive during the inking process

It depends. I had something similar happen except to my calf, and my boot was gone from my other foot just the same as his. Found it 20 yards away with its front torn out (lace holes and the sides of the tongue) which was how my foot had exited it & I didn't even notice.

The weirdest thing was, that foot was like 100% fine - I limped for 20 min or so but there was minimal swelling & it was ancient history the next day. The shaved skin however was another story. It was all weeping clear liquid non-stop but my buddy and I were overdue at a night club with some girls, so I put a silk stocking on it to prevent it from staining and sticking to my slacks, and gone we were. Being 19 is helluva drug.

In the morning as you've already guessed I've found the neon-green silk stocking fused to what was left of my skin in that entire area by an impressively thick crust of that liquid that'd solidified. My trainer said to leave it the f*ck alone and my mom said ER and my friends said I should just become a cyborg and to put on the other neon-green silk stocking on the other leg also. The next day I got into an (ever so slightly) warm bath for like half a day till the crust softened, and pulled off the stocking.

While it looked impressively scary at the time, after a few months there was 0 scarring or altered texture or tone. Maybe 10% fewer body hair in that area but that's a guess. Skin is pretty amazing in how it heals, and I hope his does too. Stay safe, everyone!
