Welcome to the forum Sarah, and congrats on that fine piece 🙂

Edit: Also, fixed it 🙂

I see no read heart there, but that is one terrible tattoo. You’re not going to be covering that up with anything as it is, unless you’re in the market for an even bigger monstrosity.

Laser. Lots and lots of laser.

After that you can cover it with absolutely anything you want 🙂

That looks fantastic! 🙂

Relax, it’s all part of the healing process. It’ll be weeks until it starts to resemble what it will end up being, and months before it fully heals 🙂

If you must have that word on you, then I would agree that it would be better as a separate tattoo instead of a part of the bird.

But writing fly four times on you is also kinda ridiculous. Mind you, I’m all for ridiculous, so that’s not a bad thing in and of it self 🙂

Maybe I’ll just use my four main languages and have the word written in all of them.

That would be taking an already bad idea and making it four times worse, IMO.

I honestly don’t see the problem with the ear, but any competent artist would be able to fix whatever you think is wrong with it IF you can actually explain to them exactly what is wrong with it.
It’s best to leave it to the original artist though. Might even get it as part of the free touchup.

I don’t see a difference in which language you choose. Perhaps pick the word that looks the best?
Also, some dude got ratted out on an airplane because this lady thought his math was jihadist propaganda, so… perhaps choose a word that people will understand. Just sayin’ 😉

Congratulations 🙂
Looks to be healing just fine. What kind of aftercare/healing routine are you following? Wrapping? Dry? Lube?

There’s nothing there 🙂

That ear isn’t messed up. It’s just an elf.
…unless you didn’t want an elf, of course 😀
Looks good man.
