Is there anything I can add to make my tattoo look straighter ?

[Threlkeldsr]

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.

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.

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.

I think it looks fine ! really ,looks good,

maybe down the road you can have it added to, for now, enjoy it, love it, show it off, and start planning your next tattoo.

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

Way overthinking it. You have a good tattoo; enjoy it.

[oboogie]

It's fine. Just enjoy it.

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.

and that's assuming the bra line is straight itself!
