This isn't a forum for tattoo artists. We aren't supposed to talk about tattooing or methods. But that sounds unsanitary.

Quit picking it apart. Just moisturize it and enjoy it.

Let it heal. Three weeks isn't long enough to tell anything. But remember this: It isn't going to look perfect. Tattoos never do.

I work in an ad agency, and no one cares about my sleeves. It really depends on what industry you work in.

The adhesive bothers my skin, but I think it works well on the whole.

I'm glad you are feeling better. It's a lovey tattoo. 🙂

I had my arms like that for a long time, then I turned them both into full sleeves. Nothing wrong with that.

It happens. But if you have anxiety issues, I wouldn't get any more tattoos. They are never going to be perfect, and you won't do yourself any good obsessing over them. You will just drive yourself crazy. You have a nice tattoo there. Just enjoy it.

Also, don't show the artist the tattoo on Pinterest. Just tell the artist (if he is good enough to do hands well) what you have in mind, and let them give it a go.

It happens. Just live with it, and you'll be fine.

It means what you want it to mean. Just get it.

It's a nice start. I look forward to seeing more. 🙂

They are, yes. Thanks!

If you read the whole thread, she got over it.

I am a woman, and I felt this kind of thing when I finished my first full sleeve on my right arm. I got over pretty quickly, then I completed my left sleeve. You'll get over it.
