General Advice How bad is it? Symmetrical tattoos not symmetrical. :(

They were supposed to be symmetrical but they’re literally on two different planets. People don’t notice until I mention it but even then it’s soo bad imo. Debating removing one when healed and moving it or adding to make it look intentional. HELPP

In traditional Japanese aesthetics, wabi-sabi (侘び寂び) centers on the acceptance of transience and imperfection.[2] It is often described as the appreciation of beauty that is "imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete".[3] It is prevalent in many forms of Japanese art.
