Hello - Looking for Advice!

Hello!  Happy to be here :)

I recently got a tattoo at a convention of a rabbit.  In general, I really like the tattoo.  It looks like an illustration from a children's book.  However, what I did not notice when I got the tattoo is that the rabbit's left ear is facing the wrong direction.  I'm so choked about this, because otherwise I really like it.  Is this something I am overthinking and should not worry about?  Or is it something that maybe could be fixed?

Thanks all :)

Not a lot can be done about it now. Just enjoy it for what it is and get more tattoos!

The tattoo itself is very nice, however the first thing I notice was how the rabbit's body was "out of sorts".  I would bring it up with the artist, but at the same time, research excellent, professional artists to correct this job.  Yes, it's definitely fixable, and a great artist can work wonders with this piece.  Don't rush it, however.  Most people won't even notice the ears unless you point it out.  Take your time and find a GREAT artist worthy of fixing the job.

 Did you know that rabbits can turn their ears 270 degrees?  It's a cool tattoo. Your bunny is listening on your behalf!

yeah, I kind of think you're overanalyzing it, which is really common when someone gets a new tattoo or is new to tattooing.

it's a really nice piece.

Thanks! That's all really helpful. I am fairly new to tattooing and I do tend to overthink things. I did not know rabbits can turn their ears 270 degrees! That is a nice perspective on it.

Sometimes I find the world of tattoing can be intimidating. I love the art and it's such a beautiful form of expression, but being new to it can be confusing.

Again thanks! You all seem really supportive and that's nice to experience :)

You have a great tattoo and learned a lesson, too. Now you know how to look at a stencil. :)

Welcome!! I know from my own experience that it's easy to be overwhelmed - especially for me since I've only got 2 tattoos. I get fixated on the end state and don't focus on the details. Then I over-analyze it afterwards. Time and experience will overcome that...I hope. 

You have a beautiful tattoo that is unique to you!

It's his right ear that's turned,but they can turn them like that when they want to listen to something.I wouldn't have even noticed.
