looks totally normal for a healing tattoo

Have some of this and calm down! Seriously though, your tattoo is a disaster waiting to happen. The more you monkey with it, the worse it will look. If everyone else thinks it looks great, just accept it an move on. You are FAR more likely to make it worse, than make it better.

Twin Peaks is a surrealistic visual adventure so having a tattoo that follows that theme is understood by me. That being said any surrealistic tattoo is going to get odd looks = and that's OK, as long as you don't mind answering the questions that will arise. That being said, you're going to need a very high quality artist to pull off the artwork needed to make sure your surrealistic image is readable (even to the initiated). Abstract floor patterns and especially curtains are going to have to not just look random or sloppy. Who is your artist?

Nope. That's a coverup waiting to happen. Be prepared for, "What is that???"

No tattoo will be perfect. Just know that going in.

Please don't get anymore tattoos. People with your level of anxiety should never get tattooed. Covering up a cover up is going to make it worse because you're never going to stop obsessing. Just live with it for a while. You have to.

Not likely an infection after 7 months, but allergic reactions to red ink pigment is not uncommon. There are some old threads here that address that possibility.

more pictures! I also got a traditional piece in May! I must say it's my favourite piece so far :) Enviado desde mi Redmi Note 8 Pro mediante Tapatalk

Looks sweet!

Tattoos take 4 - 6 weeks to heal. Period. Scabs can happen. Nothing to worry about.

my feeling is that's going to not look the greatest on the body, as it's not a figure, but rather a background. you know?

Welcome! Take the drawing to give the artist an idea, but please know he/she will redraw it and make tweaks to make it tattoo ready.

It's not NYC...it's flying!

Just got this done by Matt Truiano in NYC!

Switched it up slightly so the clouds were on the outside - I’ll update once healed too

I'd say you have too much time on your hands if this is what you spend your time worrying about. If you'd gotten it the other way people would be telling you that was wrong too. Next time someone says that just say, "You know if I want to hear an ass hole I'll fart."
