Got it this past wknd in one session, about 5hours. Glad I went with it!

I'm really happy with it, came out even better than expected. I went to my usual place and didn't disappoint
The dots in the face are just my hair btw
 
Here's the tattoo...

lolz.
Didn't want to come off as arrogant and I do appreciate the advice. You guys said find a decent artist and i've found a couple who do very good blackwork. I'll keep updated in a few months once It's done

Bless your simple heart. 😂

I've found a couple of artists who are good at blackwork so I think i'll be fine

Get a small text tattoo that you can cover up with clothing perhaps ?

NEVER get a tattoo.

Yeah, that's a no. This has been going on forever—he asks for advice, but he doesn't listen to the answer if he doesn't like it. But it's nice of you to try.

Irrelevant? Maybe if you'd asked the "irrelevant" Americans for opinions BEFORE you got tattooed, you would have avoided that atrocity. We can still look at a portfolio and tell you why we think it's good or bad.
You're going on my ignore list, you're just a nut job.

Not necessarily, unless you don't want our input on ability. 
Not necessarily "specializes", but you'll definitely need one who is proficient in black-work AND cover-ups. 

I understand that, DUDE. (I'm a woman, by the way.) Tribal is very deliberate and designed a certain way. That isn't going to look "tribal." It's going to look like you have a mop head or a malformed centipede on your arm. But hey, you do you, boo.

Just an idea dude. It took 1 minute to make in paint. What im saying is maybe we can fill the letters in and then base a tribal sort of design round it.

It needs to be long and lean like a panther. These aren't going to work on that narrow space.

Nice, the line work looks solid

@MakaveliX just a suggestion: as you may know, an artist is an artist because he does not just draw/paint/play/write, but rather he creates images/music/words, which means that you can search your own designs and we could suggest other ones but I think that you should also ask your artist and listen to what he has in mind, maybe give him a theme or a suggestion an see what he comes up with.

Please talk to a competent artist. Anyone who suggested a giant solid black arrow makes me question their ability. It's going to look even worse if you just cover it up with some ugly shit. Do not rush into anything.

Yea, I meant panther. That's why you need a consult with a competent tattoo artist. It would be a big one and probably take some time to figure out how to place it.

Don't trade one mess for another. I think you run the risk of making a bad situation worse. I'd live with it for now, but if you HAVE to do something, what about a leopard?

Just don’t. The world has enough shitty tattoos from people that don’t know what they are doing.

I'm not an expert, so I can't provide a technical feedback: all I can tell you is that in my own, personal and humble opinion it looks very good and I'm curious to see how it will look when fully healed 😄

looks good !
