Just keep it clean and let it heal. And please quit staring at it. 😉 

It can always be retouched, but it may be fine.

Looks great, man.

Round 2 on my fudo backpiece. Getting into shading soon!

If you have OCD, do not get any other tattoos. You are going to drive yourself crazy. Tattoos are made by humans, and humans aren't perfect. There will always be things you see as "imperfections," and obsessing over them is not healthy.

Yeah, I wouldn't have noticed it if you hadn't pointed it out. 

It looks fine. OCD is a great way to make a good tattoo worse. Trust me, NOBODY is eyeing your tattoo with a microscope except you. Enjoy it and get more tattoos.

Sweat it out. Skin cancer is no fun. The problem is, when it’s too late it’s too late. And 12 is not “a few.” 😉

so the first and best advice I can offer is to not go back to that tattooer,I think a better tattooer could rework that into a good tattoo, and sometimes there is scar tissue, from a bad application of the tattoo.

I’m absolutely interested in working it into a full sleeve.  Maybe a two phase process.  
 
I’m in Minneapolis and SW Florida… 

Thank you so much both of you, much appreciated :)! 
It does look a little bit better today, it looks like the hole is closing up now so I'm hoping this will still have little ink parts left in it
I knew a touch up was going to be needed with how much colour was taken with the scab but I just didn't know if anyone else had the same sort of issues with the scabs coming off and leaving the hole.
I'll keep on top of the moisturising and hopefully in the next few months, it will look slightly better and can nip for my touch up :)! 

Just to be clear, mine doesn’t look a little better, it healed completely.

I have dogs. I've been there. Try not to worry about it. It can always be touched up.

There is no way to know how it will heal, you just have to wait. I rarely have scabs, but I had one the size of a dime on my leg and it ripped off accidentally. It healed perfectly, but did need to be touched up. It took about three months to completely heal.

Just a heads-up, man: It's still going to age badly. The font is too small, and it won't look clean in a couple of years. But you should get what you want ... just know that going in.

The placement Looks better, but thin lines just don’t usually hold up long term.
However, it’s your tattoo and you should get what you want as long as you understand the risks.
Good luck, and please post it when it’s done!

This. ^^^

I don't have any idea what font to use, but my suggestion would be to skip the font all together. Thin lines on thin skin can be prone to blowouts and you're looking at your wrist and elbow ditch - not a great place for that. If you absolutely must have the font, I'd ask your artist to find something - he's the one that will have to make it work.

He probably tries to sell vegeburgers at a cattle rancher’s barbecue.

Nobody wants to see your shitty web site butt plug.

Go away. We have actual tattoos here, not play pretend tattoos. FFS. Talk about the wrong audience. 😆

Please stop advertising your shitty tattoo stickers. NOBODY here wants them. This is a forum for tattoo enthusiasts, not posers.

Yes, that's not abnormal for work that's less than 4-6 weeks.
