I mean this picture isn't the greatest, I swear it's better in person 😂 but no kidding ! Never cheaping out on a tattoo again, we all learn from our mistakes.

It's peeling. normal. Tattoos take 4-6 weeks to heal.

I actually really dig this but please let it heal properly and see how it ends up. Are there quality issues? yes. As previously stated, I also would recommend a different tattoo artist. With that being said, I promise once you get more and more tattoos around and make a sleeve, you won't notice the issues that you are bringing up now (or atleast you won't notice it as much). Just gotta own it and move on

this for sure 100% /\

I am sorry. I didn't mean to make you feel worse. It's kind of funny and bad in good way. Just keep it and get more (better quality) tattoos.

It's without any doubt a wrong way looking at your art. You won't ever be able to enjoy your tattoos if you always search for every single dot that could have done better. You gotta look at the big picture, there is no such thing as a perfectly done tattoo. The perfection is in the imperfection, your tattoos are perfect because they are yours and yours only.

My arm isn't done, and I've only really started on one, but I can actually contribute! So I shall. :) Taking pictures of my own arm is hard, and I suck at it. There are individual pictures of these in my gallery, though, anyway! I was really late in coming to an appreciation of traditional designs (aside from traditional Japanese, which I have always loved). What sold me on traditional sleeves was the interesting way in which individual pieces become more than the sum of each individual tattoo...it becomes this collective aesthetic that I find so fascinating, in addition to being a very cool collection of individual images. I mention this because I have similar feelings about 'masculine' and 'feminine' aesthetics. (I'm also one of those people who thinks a man or woman can wear whatever the hell they want and still be masculine and feminine if they want to be, but that's a discussion of a slightly different variety. For the purposes of this post, I'm just using the generally accepted definitions of those words.) I think whether something reads as 'masculine' or 'feminine' in the traditional sense depends mostly on general presentation. There are tons of pictures out there of women wearing tough, aggressive traditional work, but they dress or present themselves in a way that's still super-girly and feminine. I think this look is amazing. Of course, there'll always be people out there who just find tattoos in general 'unfeminine' or whatever, buuut. That's really more about them, imo.
