Hi guys!!
So I got my first tattoo today. Unfortunately, it looks a little crooked. Since it’s on my back (neck), I couldn’t really see it. When the tattoo artist did the “draft” (sorry, I don’t know what to call it) on my skin, I had my friend take a picture to show me and it looked just right! But now, that I got the ink on my body, it doesn’t look straight anymore. I’m praying that it will get better when it heals.. Maybe it’s just swollen? But since this is my first tattoo and I’m a bit paranoid, I was hopping someone could tell me what’s really going on.
Thaanks for the help! 🙂

I tried to take some more pictures.I’m sorry if they’re not the best because I had to take them myself! But here they are..
When it comes to the tattooist, I think I did my research! I went to a few places, I asked to see their work and the establishment. I did this actually with my sister. She had her tattoo done in may by the same tattoo artist! It turned out great! So I assumed mine would turn out fine as well! I really believed that! I’m very paranoid, specially when it comes to permanet stuff.. So I can absolutley say I trusted it would turn out just perfect. I didn’t do it on the heat of the moment or anything.. Do you think I could still salvage the design? maybe trying to get the three dots straighten out? :/
PS: sorry about the bepanthene! This looks bad enough, I don’t want it to get infected either xD

The story with the tattoo artist.. I did some research. I went to a few places, asked to see their work so I really didn’t do this on the heat of the moment. I did this actually in may, with my sister, because she wanted a tattoo. She actually had her tattoo done there, and it turned out really good!! I guess I was confident mine would turn out the same! :/ (It’s the same place and same tattoo artist). I’m still hoping and praying my neck is croocked or that it will get better after healing. I’m very paranoid about the idea of “permanet”, so I really thought about this tattoo and the place where I would get it. I’m very sad it turned out like this.
Do you think I could still salvage the design?? Maybe straightening the three dots? getting them a little bigger so it would get straighter?
Thanks so much for your help!
PS: sorry about the bepanthene! It looks bad enough as it is, I wouldn’t want it to get infected as well!!
I don’t think it’s crooked, actually. Looks like it in the first pic, but the picture isn’t straight either.
In most of the pictures it looks straight, but it’s perfectly normal for a tattoo to be a bit swollen for the first few days 🙂 Don’t worry about it. Give it a week or so and have a friend take a look.
Thank you for the advice!
I’ll wait for the healing process to be done and then I’ll think what to do.
One last piece of advice if you please, would mind me asking. What would be the best way to deal with this after it heals? Would laser work well on this? From what I’ve seen on the internet, some laser works leave a little “shadow” of the tattoo.. I also consider covering it up if the cover would no be a huge tattoo. From what I’ve seen, also on the internet, usually covers are huge! I’m not really a “huge tattoo kind of person” xD I would want it as descrete as possible, it’s more me.
I’m sorry for bombarding you with all this questions, and thanks again for the help! 🙂
