I absolutely love my tattoo! It’s super cute and exactly how I imagined but I noticed after it healed that it had this like blur or spot under it. It’s kind of difficult to see in the photos but in person it’s more noticeable I think I’m just bad at taking pictures. But there’s like blueish smudge around the bottom of my tattoo specifically below the sparkle on the bottom next to the cherry. There’s also a little bit around the warp star but you can’t see it at all in the photo 😭. I don’t think it’s a blow out since it’s off the main line work but is there something I could maybe do about it? The tattoo is on my inner bicep and around 8 months old. The spots you can see through it are freckles 😔

I posted within before but I decided to re do it with a picture this time to make it easier to understand. I was hesitant to do so since this isn’t the artist’s fault! It is a very pretty tattoo in my opinion!

The main thing making me unsure about this tattoo is the fact that this IS an anime tattoo. An obvious one at that. It started with an idea I cooked up of a specific scene. However I then saw someone already get it by an amazing artist that was also guesting in town soon and decided to get something similar based off that scene. Maybe this is also what’s contributing to this? For example, I would be happy with it and then I’ll see the original idea and become unsure again.

I thought I would eventually get over the “everyone is judging me for an anime tattoo” feeling like I did when I got my Kirby tattoo last year. But it’s at 3 weeks and I still feel a little bit nervous about it. am also kind of anxious of people close to me like my brother seeing it since he’ll likely judge me.

So I was thinking maybe I just wasn’t ready for this type of tattoo? Or maybe I am putting too much energy into what others think? Or that in an effort to be different and more unique to me than just a scene I got something I’m unhappy with?? Or is this true tattoo regret? This tattoo has meaning to me and is also my appreciation for the show. This is not a down bad kind of thing. I just don’t want it taken the wrong way.

I’m either participating in the overthinking Olympics or this is actual tattoo regret
