Ok so a few months ago, I finally got my first tat. I had to wait til I was18 to get one cuz my parents wouldn’t take me. The tat is all healed up now and I’m not so sure if I’m too crazy about how it came out. I love it but lets just say it needs some work. The link I have here is the pic of my tat.

I think the shading in it is really sloppy. That’s not how I intended it. Any ideas of ways they could touch it up or things they could do to make it look a lot better? One idea I have is to get it completely shaded in red and then have whitish swirls in it like this minus the wings:

I also don’t like how the swirls came out. I wanted them to be more of a light grey and come out more like wisps kind of like some of the lighter ones in the background of this pic (sorry I know its kind of blurry):

Help please! I’m not limited to the ideas I posted. Any other ideas are appreciated
