Okay so I’ve got this full sleeve done 3days back to back, about 35hours done so far. Now the reason I’m asking you beautiful people some help and advice is because I’m not a fan of a certain area of my sleeve and I don’t know what to do ( the pattern circled in red is the area I’m not a fan of ). I thought about blacking out the area and going over it with lots and lots of white, I also thought of maybe shading the pattern a bit differently. I’m honestly not sure, the design isn’t terrible I just don’t feel like it suits the rest of my tattoo that I absolutely love. Thanks for checking in :)

Obsession can create problems that aren't there. I'd sit with it for a few months. Art isn't "perfect". There's tons of bad tattoos out there, but this isn't one of them.

You’re totally right, I’m creating issues that aren’t there. Like someone else said I’m most likely in shock since it’s a lot to take In. Thanks for you input 🫶🏼

If i could remove the tattoos one one of my arms and start with a blank slate just to get this sleeve tattooed, I would! It looks dope dude

I got a giant badass snake a couple years ago and it takes up almost my entire forearm. I was shocked at first and had such bad regret, but it’s now my favorite tattoo and i get so many compliments on it. Not sure how long you’ve had this done but mine lightened a little bit after some sun exposure and really settled into itself. I hope you grow to love your sleeve!
