i couldn't get the full brush effect with a pencil but thats the idea, i don't really know if that would work or not though.

Hi Ireside,

i hate to tell you this, but i don't think that this is the best way for your to ask for advice. while there are many great tattooers who are a part of this community, the best way to see about getting this fixed to where you are happy is to research and artist that you like that is in your area, or within a comfortable traveling distance, and ask them in person. you can find a list of LST recommended shops here. also, please be aware that this site has some really opinionated members who are not afraid to give a critique if prompted.

my own personal opinion is this: i think you're trying to do too much with a simple design. you don't need the arabic or the kanji unless it has some sort of personal meaning to you, otherwise visually, it takes away from the design and is confusing. that's just my .02.

anyways, good luck!
