Help with wrong tattoo

[fwag87]

Hi all 

My nephew, decided to get his first tattoo and didn't check the design. It's a simple semi colon but it's backwards. I haven't told him yet, just his mum who has asked me to talk to him and maybe try and get it changed/ added to to make it look like its supposed to be that way. What a plum he is. Any design ideas from you creative bunch? 

 

Thanks

I would just leave it alone, there is no fixing it, messing with it will just F*** it up. think of it as unique.

You can’t fix stupid and you can’t fix that tattoo. Let it heal then look for someone who specializes in cover ups.

If over time you still don't like it, it's small enough to cover up with no problems.

May I ask opinions please, with my arm relaxed my tattoo looks great but as soon as I lift my arm up or twist it slightly it goes wonky. Is this expected? Should I be as 'gutted' as I am with the placement?

I guess if I wanted it to look in the perfect position when my arm is up and twisted it wouldn't look right when relaxed? 

Thanks all

@Mattwall92 Not trying to be harsh, but I think you have unrealistic expectations. Your skin twists and stretches as you move. Of course the image will be affected.

Enjoy your tattoo. Get more.

it's skin. Not paper. Of course it moves. Just get more tattoos.
