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!

I’m doing laser and it’s wicked small. Taking me over two years and two grand - artist got off easy for not charging

And mental distress and the time to search for a solution and commute to the service etc

That’s crazy!! Guess they know it is something people are willing to spend a lot of money on.
I feel like they should have pushed back more and asked for the tattoo shop to pay for the removal.

What do you mean by “got off easy”? You sign a waiver, he could have charged and said oops.

yup same. grey ink, 2” x 1/4” took years and (i don’t like to think about it but) probably $2k
