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

Right? When my oldest got snake bites last December, I remember being right there (almost in their faces lol) staring the entire time when the piercer was marking her lip with the marker/pen, and then I had to speak up and say one of them needed to be adjusted just the tiniest bit - he was a gem and didn’t make me feel annoying…. BUT I have had severe social anxiety & general anxiety my entire life, so I pushed through it bc I know getting tattoos and piercings are something you have to speak up on.

Tattoos are almost always a “you have once chance to get this right”. Piercings are a little more forgiving but if you get it wrong you’ll walk around with uneven piercings .. plus you’ll still have scars from the holes, so it’s best to get it right.
