Is this normal?? the ink from my tattoo is literally disappearing 😭 what do i do

This tattoo was done August 2023 at the Holy Hyena that was in Wheat Ridge,CO (now closed) it’s a collaboration between Josh Herman and Destroy Troy! Troy made the outline, tattooed the outline, and did the panther side. Josh did the Bart side! I get questions on it almost daily almost 3 years later. Miss seeing and getting tatted by Josh glad Troy is still in the Denver area!

First photo was fresh, second photo is a month healed

I got this tattoo 4 days ago but I’m already considering removal. It is over multiple but very thin self harm scars from many years ago. I was curious if my tattoo looks like there will be scarring or possible trauma from how dense/dark it is. I wanted fine line but he gave me traditional and shaded it in way too much and made the lines insanely dark. I already have scarring as I’ve said and I’m worried if he left any. He wasn’t heavy handed (as least I think) and I had very minimal redness and bleeding. I was curious if anyone had a similar experience

I have this very well made tattoo (by Mary rain at mommy I’m sorry) and I like it a lot. But I think it looks kinda weird by itself. I don’t know what to add though.

My brother and I want a sibling tattoo (a koi) and I thought it would kinda fit the Japanese theme but it would still look kinda lost?

I need help

Just wanted to share my underboob tattoo! Pain wasn’t as bad as I thought but also not super blacked out tattoo
Artist was @_heartlesstattoos in the UK

First post here! Each of these tattoos has a deep meaning for me.

All done at my shop, Psychic Seas Tattoo in Rockport, TX. Booking for Tucson! Instagram @sacred.bird

ive recently found these artists who do really cool tattoos, but they’re mostly from europe. im in seattle and wanna look into getting shit like this, what is the style called?

Kinda nerdy, but I love it.
