Yea. I wanted a whole back scene of a Roman clashing Armageddon scene on my back with my spine being the rock that both armies meet. With the giant banners good and evil had displaying quotes on my shoulder blades.
Shitty tattoo artist gave me the first quote on my shoulder blade it came out looking like a prison tattoo after it healed. Never went back and abandoned the idea because the artist had killer photos in their portfolio but their ink to skin work after healing was rough. I'm guessing he took the photos fresh. Fucker.
Yeah the artist I went to made my idea theirs in a way that I didn’t really like, and they honestly didn’t execute very well either.
Over time even I don’t like the idea I had then that much, but now i also get to dislike the artists version of it even more.
I’ve thought about getting it laser removed, but I think that might create a glaring blank space on a heavily freckled arm by removing the freckles.
I’ve thought about getting a coverup, and might, but that doesn’t make short sleeves any more accessible in professional situations. And whether it’s right or wrong for someone to be influenced in that environment by me having a tattoo, it’s real.
