Honest opinion on a recent tattoo please

[LadyLu505]

Hi everyone

I'm hoping to get some honest opinions about a tattoo I got about 3 weeks ago. I was so pleased cos the artist put so much detail in it for me as he said he wanted to ensure the cathedral and ferris wheel were distinguishable from any others in the world. But I had a couple of comments that made me feel crap. One of my colleagues asked when I showed it to her if "I" liked it...and when I got a new tattoo today and I talked to this new artist about healing methods, I told her with this tattoo (what this thread is about) I was told to do dry healing which she recommended against. So I asked if she could tell me if she thought this tattoo was healing ok, to which she responded "has it always looked like that?". It's making me paranoid that this tattoo is a mess :-( please give me your honest thoughts.

looks great. it's an impressionistic effect. would love to have my heart stolen by Vienna.

relax,it looks great,and when it's fully healed in 6 months take a look at it and see if it needs any touchups,

for now,enjoy it,wear it with pride and move on to the next tattoo idea and inspiration.

you  have great skin for tattooing,so be thankful for that and make sure you triple check your research on the next artist you choose.

Looks great! Welcome to the forum - it's been quite a few years but I had my heart stolen by Vienna, too. Of course, with the last name of Volk, my favorite stop was at the Volksoper.

Looks good now, but honestly I'd be worried that with that style and size it may be hard to read in 10 years.

Well my tattooist says he did it with a small enough needle that it should stay that way for 50 years, by which time I'd be 80 so I really wouldn't be bothered at that point! I'd just be happy that I had an awesome tattoo on my body for 50 years :-)
