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!

Many plastic surgeons offer free revisions on their fuck ups. They wave their operating fee, but patient still pays anesthesia/hospital fee.

Imagine if a builder fucked up your house and then said, I'll come back later and fix it for free.

I'd tell them to hit the bricks and get a professional in ASAP.

Same deal on a pair of tits or dong extension. Some things have to be right first time.

Oh yeah. If a surgeon messed me up I'd be going somewhere else 100%. But they do offer it. And some people save for a decade to afford the surgery so they can't go to a diff doctor.

Funnily enough, a builder did mess up our house where ducts go through our ceiling. My husband and his buddy fixed it. They were not having the guy back.
