A black man who had a penis transplant will now undergo tattooing to change its color — because the donor was white.

The 40-year-old man lost his penis during a botched circumcision 17 years ago and last month became the world’s third person to ever get such a transplant.

But he didn’t have a choice on his donor, so surgeons will be fixing the “color discrepancy,” The Mirror reported.

“We have very few donors for this transplant procedure,” noted urologist Dr. Andre van der Merwe, who led the man’s surgical team in South Africa.

Otherwise, “that is the only issue left,” van der Merwe said.

Doctors believe that in six months, the man will be able to urinate standing up and have sex for the first time in 17 years.

“The penis is working well, he can get erections already,” van der Merwe said. “There are no signs of rejection, and all the reconnected structures seem to be healing.

“He is certainly one of the happiest patients we have seen in our ward. He is doing remarkably well,” van der Merwe said.

Still, medical tattoo artist Rosemarie Andlauer of Miraculous Creations in Massachusetts said the kind of tattooing that the man needs is delicate, to say the least.

“Even if the client was comfortable having it done in one session, because of the area I wouldn’t feel safe having the entire penis healing at once,” she told the Daily Mail. “I would not tattoo all the way around. I would do lengthwise, probably one-third at a time. I would allow healing in between each session.

“This would take a little longer but remaining healthy and safe is too important to rush.”
