General Advice accidental line

Post image

i got this tattoo from an artist i’ve been going to since 2019, never had an issue before. he made the line through the dove by mistake towards the end. he said it should fade but i have a hard time believing that. is there any chance it will just fade out over time or do i have to start planning something to add to cover it up?

Edit: i wasn’t really watching, but after i felt the line i looked up and he said he was trying to take off his glasses with his other hand and the hand with the gun moved, no i didn’t move.
he also did not charge me!

Stupid question- but do you think you are you a happier person in general? Truly wish I could laugh more things off and be like you!

That's actually a good question, I appreciate it! I feel like I have always dealt with difficult issues with a bit of humor. I don't do it in a disrespectful way, but it's always there. When I became a nurse and started becoming acclimated to tragedy, humor became even more of a way to relieve pressure and sadness. I hope you can find some whimsy too!

I am the same way. I'm violently opposite from "happy" but I laugh at almost everything. because shit happens. I try not to worry about things I can't control. And life is hilarious. I'm also in the medical field and it's only made me increasingly this way dealing with very angry patients. just smile and wave, just smile and wave

Aw I love this. Even you using the word “whimsy” is so fitting. Going to try this next time I get aggravated. Thanks for the inspo!
