so let's see a ral pic of your tattoo ! I call foul, and guess that you don't even have a single tattoo.

this /\ 100%

I would leave it alone, and if you don't want to leave it alone, ask the tattooer that did it.

I think it looks fine, it's a nice tattoo IMO, you have a common case of "tattoo remorse" and it will go away.

pretty cool !.... I would love some work from her.

hold on, so I was talking about the 4 brown stripe things, is NOT what you are referring to ? those are the only brown spots I see.

IMO the artist intended that color in those spots, it looks like brown ink, ask the artist

hi, and yes, you should have done more and better research on "american traditional" artists to go to. this tattoo is not done well IMO, so live with it , maybe have a better artist touch it up or rework it after it's healed, and please don't consider laser removal,it's not as good as most poeple think, it's very painful, takes many visits, and does not really "remove" a tattoo, and then chalk it up to a lesson learned and research your next tattoo. start finding good artists that do a style you like on instagram and follow them for a while. go to conventions,look on FB,talk to other tattooed poeple.

LOL well yes ! the tattoo HAS to be healed before you can get touchups ! and you can't really touch up lettering without F***ing it up.

put the magnifying glass away and enjoy it.

who ever told you that is wrong, get the style of tattoo you want.

Hi and welcome, I live in Orangevale(suburb of Sacramento), read, look, learn here, if I can be any help with good tattooers and shops here, let me know.

yes, adjusting things on the stenciled skin is totally normal, assuming you have done proper research on this tattooer, you need to trust them, of course you will look at the stencil before they start tattooing and approve it.

think about it for a couple more years first

LOL IMO it all fuckin' hurts

LOL sorry, but you asked reddit ? LOL if it's a tattoo that you want and you like this tattooer, then pay the money, remember one thing.

reported

it looks normal for a 6 day old tattoo, look at it again in a month, keep it clean and put a little aveeno on it a couple times a day

I am so sorry, that is such a hard thing to go through.

hi, do some research to find a tattooer that does the style you want this tattoo in and have them draw it up.

older red inks used to to do that on some people, but modern good quality reds these days hardly do it, I have not had a reaction in 35 years, and I have gotten lots of red since then with no reaction, and if you do get a red ink reaction that's pretty much all it is, maybe scab a little, not an infection. I wouldn't worry about it, if the tattooer you have chosen has a clean shop and clean practice, go get the tattoo .

well, you already have a lot of tattoos you said, if it's something you want then why worry about what other people think !?!

so get the F***ing tattoo you want, I'm not religious, maybe questions like this is why I'm not.
