It is ridiculous the bias that still exists around tattoos. I think you need to think longer and hard about this, though. Can you really wear long sleeves every day at work until you find a new job? If they discover (see) your tattoo, will they fire you or will you just be reprimanded and asked to cover it? Is it worth losing your job (there is no right answer here and no judgement whatever your answer might be) to get this tattoo now?

I am super basic. I use Lubriderm and Dial liquid soap. It has worked great so far, especially since I have really sensitive skin and don't like to add too many new formulas to the mix.

Oh man I've been there with every one of my tattoos. Only one of them I'm still (five years later) really meh about. I get serious buyer's remorse with everything so I knew to expect this. I say, before you make any changes or additions, live with it for awhile. This isn't the same as a poorly done tattoo. Yours looks great. That doesn't mean you shouldn't want to change it, but at least live with it a bit and see how you feel. I love the idea of adding birds and some leave, etc to fill it in. I think that would look amazing.

That looks awesome! I can't wait to see it healed

HI there! I'm Nicole. I just recently got my fourth tattoo and am currently planning a fifth (plus a cover up). I look forward to getting to know you fine folk.
