Please advise on inner arm tattoo

[johnsonchicklet]

Hi,

 

i had this Tattoo done about a year ago. I like the simplicity of the design and the size, but if I look super close I can see some stray lines, especially around the letters. I’m not sure if that is normal bleed out or if the artist had shaky hands. I have another one by her that has no such imperfections, but it’s less of a rigid design than lettering. 

 

I am debating either getting someone to go over the letters with bolder lines, or getting a quarter sleeve to eliminate so much white space. The other option is to leave as is. 

 

Looking for some advice or thoughts from more experienced tattoo people (this is my 3rd tattoo -  all are fairly small and simple) 

 

thanks!

From the photo, I can't see any of what you're talking about. Looks fine to me.

Looks very well done to me! Fishing for compliments, maybe? 😉

Everyone says they don’t see it. Look at the fucked up little line off the side of the dot on the letter I. It kills me to see it. Can’t stop thinking about it one year later...

That should tell you something.

I can see the little wisp of a line at the bottom of the the dot on the i. If that brothers you I'd think it be super easy to fix just by filling it into the dot.

You’re kidding, right?

If that bothers you I'd suggest not getting any more tattoos. Tattoos are not perfect. If you try to fix it you'll either make it worse, or likely find something else that's not perfect.

Just leave it and quit obsessing. And as Hogrider said, don't get any other tattoos.

OMG. I don't know how you have lived with that train wreck? Maybe just cut off your arm?

*kidding*

I suggest taking a giant deep breath. You are going to make yourself crazy! The imperfections are what makes it real. 🙂
