Babzlady Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Hi there! I got 2 new tattoos a few days ago, however the second star to the right on my chest appears to look like 2 different types of stars and the smaller star is much darker and less detailed. I am totally afraid that it looks like a blob from far away. The lines are uneven and do not connect on the small star. The end of the tattoo also has a weird trail of fairy dust that goes up and not down. Initially it should have had more fairy dust around the stars. They are also tilting inward instead of straight up amd down. Can the stars and fairy dust be fixed to add detail and depth?? 😩 Thank you! Tinker bell turned out well, but I want to add more detail. Is that possible? Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/8138-second-star-to-the-right-minimalist-tattoo/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
SStu Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 They look fine for a tiny tattoo. You could add to it and/or add more detail as long as you are happy entertaining a larger tattoo. oboogie, Babzlady and Gingerninja 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/8138-second-star-to-the-right-minimalist-tattoo/#findComment-140064 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hogrider Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 I wouldn't try to 'fix' something that small. There is a better chance of making it worse than better. I wouldn't go back to that artist either.

I am in education and need to be able to hide it, hence wanting a minimalist tattoo. 😩 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/8138-second-star-to-the-right-minimalist-tattoo/#findComment-140072 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minimalism dramatically narrows the margin for error, so it's going to be extra important for you to proceed both with caution and educated. Both of the recommendations @Dan gave you are legit, but you're going to have to be patient to get in with quality artists.

PinkUnicorn Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 FWIW, I think the design has too much detail to count as "minimalist". But don't worry that the stars don't look the same, there are many different types of stars! (And I'm writing this at a meeting of the International Astronomical Union in Vienna...)
