Then that line made the other lines look imperfect so I had him thicken ALL of the lines. They weren't all perfect, as measured by an electron microscope, so I had the whole tattoo lazered off so I could start fresh and get it perfect this time, but even after 10 lazer treatments the skin doesn't look perfect. What should I do???? Ah man that sounds like a right pain in the ass. Hopefuly ill get over this maybe i will. Im the same even if i get a mark in my clothes or something so it not just tattoo but tattoos are more permanent. Ill leave it for now Hogrider 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/7510-issue-with-tattoo-can-it-be-fixed/?page=2#findComment-133072 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though, if you are OCD, you will certainly be more unhappy with the results if you try to fix it. You got lucky. There is so much God-Awful script out there and yours is nice. Revel in the parts that are perfect. suburbanxcore 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/7510-issue-with-tattoo-can-it-be-fixed/?page=2#findComment-133084 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youngjason Posted March 27, 2017 Author Share Posted March 27, 2017 I had it fixed up a little but dot is still visible its all i think about most of the time and hate the dot and the imperfection on the tattoo Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/7510-issue-with-tattoo-can-it-be-fixed/?page=2#findComment-133554 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJDeepFried Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Then let it be a lesson to you not to sweat the small stuff. Not trying to belittle your OCD or saying get over it. Just trying to turn a negative into a positive. Tattoos are imperfect because they're made by humans, not robots, and there's no eraser on the other end of the tattoo machine. That's part of the beauty of them. People aren't perfect either. Get more tattoos and you won't even think about it.

DJDeepFried Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 They're not. Believe me, no one notices but you just like no one notices the "mistakes" on mine. I've seen a lot of shitty script tattoos and yours is not one of them. Besides didn't you say you fixed it up a bit?

DJDeepFried Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Then put that energy into planning your next one. Or maybe tattoos aren't for you. Cos that one definitely won't be "perfect" either.

I was the same way (if not worse) with my first couple of tattoos, but after a while I realized that they're not MEANT to be perfect. Once I realized that and got a few more it completely stopped bothering me. Now I have 13 lol.
