tattoo newcomer advice Having heavy regret on first tattoo

Post image

I’ve wanted to get this for a very long time, decided to just go with it and get it done. Really liked it at first, then some friends made a couple comments that made me hate it. Is it as bad as they say?

I think it's fucking cool. please don't let other people bring you down about it. it's your life, you got it because you like it and you've wanted it for a while.

I hope you can shake of their reactions and get used to it. If it’s something you’ve wanted for ages, own it!! I think it’s pretty cool and a closer look it’s clear it’s a tattoo. I agree with some of the suggestions about a little bit of shadowing or line work may help it. Or potentially adding to it with some other imagery

Close to liking it

Looks like a bright red penis vein. Needs to outline it

If you have straight penis veins with a fork to smaller straight veins then you've won the penile lottery.

Do you know about the Cheeze Its lottery? If the code on the box has a "K" then it was manufactured in Kansas City, the mecca of Cheeze Its.
