Threlkeldsr Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 This is my first tattoo. When the tattoo artist placed the outline on me it looked straight but now when I look at it, it clearly goes downhill depending on how I am standing. I was wondering if there was something I could add under it to either make an illusion or make it look straighter. Thanks.

Dan Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 (edited) what happens when both your arms are at your sides ? because it kind of looks like your body is contorting a little with your arm up and your torso twisted a little and it may be causing the tattoo to look crooked.

Threlkeldsr Posted May 23, 2018 Author Share Posted May 23, 2018 It’s hard to see when my arm is completely straight down because it covers up the tattoo. But this is another picture when my arm is down. What do you think ? It still looks like it angles downhill to me.

JAC1961 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 I agree, it's not bad at all. It's the kind of thing that we view much more critically than anyone else. Chances are 99 out of 100 people would never notice. If all else fails, do what I do. Make up some outlandish BS reason for it being that way and see if you can get them to believe it. lol Threlkeldsr and AtomicMagpye 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/8066-is-there-anything-i-can-add-to-make-my-tattoo-look-straighter/#findComment-139176 Share on other sites More sharing options...

pidjones Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 The bra line accentuates any misalignment. Either go without or find one with a lower edge of the band that runs parallel. Or grow to love it as it is.
