Please, no unkind comments, this is on my body forever and I am pretty heartbroken about it, I know it's my own fault, I know I'm an idiot, I'm just looking for advice, thank you.
I have to preface this by stating I don't exactly hate it, but it isn't what I wanted. My artist has done multiple, beautiful tattoos on me and I love all of them, but I feel as if this has missed the mark entirely. When I explained about how I wanted the hand to be more feminine, he told me shading would help this, it did not. In my opinion the hand is bulky and unshapely and looks way, WAY too dark. He went crazy on the shading, and I'm so embarrassed but when I finally looked at the finished result I almost cried. I gave myself 5 days to adjust to it, but god it is just SO dark against my arm, I can't seem to stop freaking out about it.
I know there's probably no chance, but I'm wondering what my option is to make the hand more feminine looking or even just not.. Bulky like that, if nothing is possible, I will learn to love her the way she is
Edit: the second and third photos are the original inspo photos, for the record.
Thank you
