Another way to look at it: shit happens.

1. it takes 4 - 6 weeks to heal, so you won't know what it's going to look like until then 2. it likely is an easy touch-up 3. you should listen to you tattoo artist

I wouldn't feel guilty about having that tattoo placement. Just have your expectations in the right place . . . 😉

it means that palm skin(which is half that tattoo) does not hold ink very well, fall out means it will fade away, I have that opinion because, I know from personal experience, many years of being tattooed, like 35+ years, seeing other peoples hand tattoos over the years, reading and viewing online tattoo forums like these, and just generally being involved with tattooed people, the tattoo life style, attending many tattoo conventions, talking to other tattooed people, LOL

A lot of my experiences have been with people who are heads down and quiet. I can take the lacking conversation in exchange for wearing a better piece of art for the rest of my life time. Kiku is the only person I had a good time with and got a good tattoo from, we took a lot longer to do the tattoo but came away having much more fun. I always book with the end product in mind, I can't form an interesting conversation during the experience anyways, I'm concentrating on not dying.

it's ok, it's a tiny faded line , i barely see it

tattoos don't just fade. they also spread out or migrate a little, especially near the palms and fingers. Down the road you can certainly get it reworked but it will then need to have thicker lines - and then those will in time fade and spread out a bit more . . .

Hand tattoos are notorious for not lasting well. The skin is thicker making application more difficult and hands see so much use and movement making the ink fade quicker. As fine as those lines are I'm betting it will be in bad shape in just a couple years.

4 th session done Some lines dont look straight its because of the muscle underneath

hell ,for a tiny tattoo like that you probably didn't even need the saniderm, take off the saniderm , wash it a couple times a day, and put a very light coat of aveeno on it. done !

The Saniderm is going to trap some fluid, so it'll look blotchy under there, but it's not like the design itself is moving or distorting. Nothing to worry about.

Thanks, everyone for your reassurance! I don’t know why I was worried lately. 🙂

Yep. Add more and then fill up the spaces inbetween with stars and dots or similar.

Looks like it could be touched up easily as already said

@scottyg said that already in my head early this morning -.-' 😄

Once it is all healed, easy touch up

Your work looks great and will continue to look great as you add to your arm. 🙂

You can’t move them. 😉

Well, playoffs and finals are over. I was kind of hoping Cousins would have a chance to redeem himself for a good contract next year, but that didn't happen. Then all the trades changed the leaque without even considering in the new recruits. I prefer college ball, anyway. I doubt you will get a great tattoo from an artist or atmosphere you don't like. Even if it were to turn out as great art, the experience would be so hard to wipe out. I had one bad piece and the artist was either rude, talking to others (a friend of his came in and talked with him for 15 minutes while he was working on me), yelling at an apprentice, or silent. The shop was clean, but the receptionist only spoke to me once and went back to her magazine (even though I had complimented a recent piece she had on a shoulder). The apprentice did seem friendly when i took a break to pee. He was copying flash in the hallway. I ended up getting a tattoo there that I disliked soo much that I had it lasered down to where another artist could do it right. Even if the ink had been perfect, the experience tainted it in my mind.
