    Hey Everyone,

    So I just got my first tattoo yesterday so I’m a beginner at all this. I got a star fish and I am wondering if I am just being very picky or if there is something wrong with the tattoo. I ddin’t want it to be completely symmetrical because what real star fish are, but I feel like the top left arm of the starfish is messed up? Please let me know if you agree or disagree, and if you agree, any ideas of what I could do to fix it? MUUUCH appreciated 🙂

    Hi

    First off it is a very nice tattoo and I think it is very unique.

    I cannot see anything wrong with it (as in a bad tattoo sense) if I was to tinker with it – which I did my own I would do the following;

    Bolden the outline just a little bit to add a greater thickness. There is just the faintest of wobbles in the line but nothing major.

    Add maybe a bit more shadow shading off the legs.

    However these are purely personal suggestions there is nothing wrong with the tattoo and should wear it with pride.

    Take Care

    Thank you!! I think I’m getting used to it more and more, and I’m gonna see how I feel about it after a few weeks, and if i’m still not sure I was thinking about taking your advice on thickening the outline, and maybe curving the part where the left top arm meets the body/bottom arm so its a little more curved as opposed to like a V.. kinda hard to explain. But thanks sooo much for your honest opinion 🙂

    I don’t see anything wrong with it either. I think it’s natural to doubt things at first because it’s new.

    Don’t worry. It looks fine. I agree a thicker outline could be a nice change – but only if you want to go back and touch it up. I thinks it works in it’s current form.

    Good luck!
