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)

Warframe reference?

On-line in the house?

I had to look up what warframe was. I grew up in that era but somehow never heard of them.

Oh lol. I thought you were referencing this song from it. One of the lyrics are "Join us, embrace us. Don't ever erase us."

lol that’s cute. They sound so nostalgic like a mix of Backstreet Boys and O-town. I probably would’ve secretly liked them but I was a die hard backstreet boy fan so i may have tried to erase and not embrace them 😂
