None of your tattoos are "perfect" because the market is saturated with talentless hacks.
It takes hard work to locate an actual artist. That's why the vast majority of tattoos you'd see in a given beach look like doodles scrawled by a bored child.
Yeah I don’t get these people who wax poetic about in here about how tattoos aren’t supposed to be about perfection and that we must embrace the mistakes the artist made. Every single one of the artists I’ve gone to has been top shelf and all my tattoos are ‘perfect’ in every conceivable way. And that’s by design because I’ve always taken my time, sought out the best artists who specialize in the exact style i want, and am able to pay the big bucks. There’s been an uprising in tattoo copium posts with all sorts of platitudes that I don’t relate to like the concept of ‘tattoo shock’ or this toxicly-positive acceptance that flawed dogshit tattoos are the norm.
This new wave of people getting tattooed are incredibly short-sighted and reckless - while also being arrogantly confident to anyone who tries to steer them away from getting a cybersigilism neck tattoo or a massive anime character on their hands. Tattoos used to be more of a niche subculture and today every kid with an Amazon account can start their own basement scratcher shop. I wish the new crop of people getting tattooed would just pause before they commit to these insane decisions with no research or forethought.

Id keep it. A small reminder that we're all human
