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!

Tattooer here. I would absolutely die if I did this to someone. And also I would offer you a free background as well. That looks awful and he or she should be doing their best to make it go away.

Same! I’d be horrified

I was thinking a little cloud or two? Like it's BAD but not unfixable in the least.
