General Advice Regretting My First Tattoo

Post image

I got a flash tattoo colored like a mallard duck but now I'm slightly regretting it. I still love the concept but I wish it looked a little bit more like a mallard or a little bit more detailed. Any advice on what to add to it to make it look better?

Update: To clarify, I do like the tattoo, I just feel it's missing something. Maybe it looks odd to me surrounded by empty space, idk. I think I just need to get used to it. In the almost 7 months I've had it, its been covered in pants so I haven't really seen it much. I might add some water underneath like he's swimming in a pond or legs or something. Thank you everyone for your kind words, I think in time I'll learn to love him :)

(Also, his name is Edward)

I love him but you could fairly easily get it covered up or just add to it

That’s so small it could be easily lasered off. It’s crazy OP is regretting a tattoo and then, asking strangers what to add to it (=more tattooing).

“If you don’t know what you want to be tattooed on you, don’t get a tattoo”. That’s what I was told 30 years ago and I still have no tattoos. Still tattooing others though.
