Yes, you are botched. Does it look like the stencil? If so, it's on you, if not it's on your tattooer. This is one of the reasons I don't like text - very few people can do it well and it's often hard to read. First - you can't, and shouldn't do anything until it heals in 4 - 6 weeks. Bad news - even knowing what it says, I don't see it. I don't see any "I" don't recognize the "S" in still and "rise" looks like "rife" or "wife." More bad news - even laser probably won't completely remove it. Laser is not like an eraser. Yet more bad news - If you try to fix it, you'll almost certainly make it worse. YOU CAN'T FIX SCRIPT. Good news - it could have been worse. I recommend after it heals, finding someone really good at coverups and get that covered. Don't cheap out, make sure you do your homework, or you'll be one of the many people I see that say, "I hated my tattoo so I ran out and got a cover up and now it's even worse." I remember getting work done one time and this woman came in with an awful coverup; it looked like it was drawn by a developmentally challenged 8 year old. When she left my artist said, "that thing looks like arnold schwartzenager climbing out of a tar pit." He's a great artist and put a huge Koi over it and you can't even see the old mess. Meanwhile, don't sweat it. Having said all that, there is something cool about it that I kind of like.

Let it heal, friend! The tattoo won't be settled for several weeks.

Hey there, make sure you are using straight up Lubriderm (not advanced therapy) or Aveeno - unscented.

I thought it looked like an autograph. It is unreadable. Not the end of the world, however. Follow Hogrider's excellent advice. Let it heal. Then see someone—an expert—about a coverup.

Ah whoops. That makes so much sense. Thanks for the replies!!! Hopefully my tattoo doesn't suffer too much

Nice bikes. Whenever any of you decide to ride "the Tail of the Dragon", give me a shout. I live about 45 minutes from it, and about 15 minutes from "the Devil's Triangle" (which I hope to ride later this week when things dry out).

you might also try products without lanolin, which is a wool-derived product found in most moisterizers. I use Cetaphil because it doesn't have lanolin. but as @Gingerninja said, make sure not to use the like, advanced formula stuff

I'm no expert but you can barely see anything wrong with it

Marvellous! - my first real experience of a motorcycle was riding pillion on my cousin's GPZ750 turbo..... after that I really wanted a bike 🙂

What he said.

all tattoos have flaws, let it heal 6 weeks,then take a look at it, put down the magnifying glass.
