Have you checked out the portfolios of artists in your area? Find one whose style you like and tell them exactly what you told us. Tattoo artists are (or at least the good ones are…) artists. It’s their job to come up with your perfect tattoo. Why is this subforum here…? It seems to serve only to perpetuate the misguided notion that tattooers can only trace and can’t come up with anything on their own…

Try something like this, add a little filigree to the sides to add symmetry to the whole piece. A good artist can clean up the line work without making the lines any thicker.

Your suggestion would make a moderately bad tattoo a really horrible tattoo. No offense… but really.

Jessatron: You don’t have to figure out yourself exactly how it could be fixed or covered. The first thing you should do is find a great artist who is skilled with coverups/reworks and go talk to that person. Be open to ideas – they could suggest something you may have never thought of.

I was at work, at the front desk checking clients in and out and she came in to get her grandaughter’s hair cut and I was in middle of asking her ‘how can I help you’ when she did that. I was SPEECHLESS!! after she left I was thinking I should have called the cops! Who does that??? I would never touch a stranger in that manner and people seem to think that a tattoo is an open invitation to touch someone they don’t know! I still get mad thinking about it. This was only a few days ago.

Wow, that is insane. You probably have a lot of good reasons, but I figured I’d ask anyway – why not move? Haha. West Texas is laaaame. Good luck on your interview though, and just to add a nice creeper vibe to my post, you ARE very pretty. (And pretty girls look even prettier with good tattoos!)

Freddie Mercury and Queen are awesome. I’m with Adler on the tattoo. There are a lot of people in the world who hate tattoos, and a lot of people who hate the things you like (especially when it at all resembles or relates to any hot button issue). I think a lot of people forget that tattoos were never about fitting in – they were about not giving a crap what anybody else thought in the first place. You got the tattoo because you wanted it, and if people hated you for it, awesome – now you’re more easily able to identify crappy people that you wouldn’t want to waste your time on anyway.

Don’t let people get you down. Who cares what anybody thinks – especially some stranger on the internet?

Ink spreads a bit in your body as your tattoo ages – this is normal and there’s no way around it. Doing a tattoo too small is a good way to guarantee wearing a blob later in life. It’s of course hard to say for sure without seeing the picture you’re talking about and knowing how small you’re trying to get it, but chances are the artist is trying to keep you from making a mistake by going to small. Additionally, when it comes to tattoos, bigger almost always looks better.

It looks like she got it in someone’s basement. How old is she?? That chick must be dumb as a rock…

Yep, sure looks like it is. And it’s really terrible too : Resized pic for easier viewing:

Try not to freak out IMO, based on your brief story it’s not your fault she got your name tattooed. Sorry that you have a stalker 🙁

I would suggest getting work elsewhere until you’re sure of whether you want to add to your back – and if so, what you want to add to it. You have tons of empty space on your body to make use of.

This x1000. Think through your decisions. It sounds like this is advice you could really use…

I’d recommend thinking out your idea a bit more and definitely not get your inner forearm done just yet. Forearms are one of the areas likely to limit your employment opportunities, and even though you say you want your tattoo to mean something, you also said you’re definitely getting tattooed on Saturday… which to me says you want a tattoo just to have a tattoo. It’s on you forever. Think it over. Also consider the fact that you might want to get sleeved out later on… and giant quotes don’t tend to look awesome in sleeves.
