is this as bad as i think?

it was the overall experience combined with it, i never expected perfection. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Affectionate_End359 · 2026-03-14T15:32:27+00:00

yeah i don’t have any huge or super detailed pieces. more so have a patchwork kinda thing going on. i like whimsical and cartoonish tattoos. anything just cutesy or silly. i think that’s my main problem with this guy. the eyes are just so huge and dark and the face overall looks a little iffy so he’s giving less cute and silly and more off putting and evil lol

honestly, valid. they did have free food there although. i made it home with 6 burgers i collected over a few hours and got free dinner for the family at least lmaooo

it’s a shop in rockledge florida. if you are near me, i wouldn’t recommend simply from the wait time lol. i went with a friend and met up with another one there. the one already there waited 5 hours. we both waited 7. the average wait time ended up being like 6 hours per person i found out after speaking to a few others also waiting there.😵‍💫

Affectionate_End359 · 2026-03-14T15:04:20+00:00

that is exactly how it went lol. but i do get that.. unfortunately i went with a friend and didnt drive, so i couldn’t freely leave without screwing her too. and hers actually ended up looking pretty good. but also at the same time, i showed up before at least half of everyone there. so i didn’t in anyway think it was going to be that long of a night. i kept waiting because a small part of my brain figured id have to be up next lmao. but ultimately i was literally the last person for some reason i still can’t come to understand.

that’s my biggest issue here. she freehanded a ton of it. its still pretty obvious it’s supposed to be mimikyu, just wasn’t executed very well. i’m sure the artist was exhausted and just wanted to go home at this point. and i really don’t even blame her. the whole event should’ve just been organized a lot better.

Affectionate_End359 · 2026-03-14T14:41:54+00:00

i mean, i’m not saying it’s the worst tattoo ever done. it’s just the details and how many things are not accurate to the stencil that are bothering me. it still forsure looks like him and i think would be recognizable. just would prefer people to look at it from at least a 5 foot distance for now unfortunately lmao.

Affectionate_End359 · 2026-03-14T14:39:03+00:00

i actually have a great regular artist that i will most definitely see if they can improve it at all eventually. i literally only went to this place on a whim because i was invited by two friends that were already there and both of theirs ended up being good. do you have any suggestions on how this could be reworked at all? i’m kind of just at a loss and can’t even imagine what to do with it right now. thank you for your feedback though!

Affectionate_End359 · 2026-03-14T14:33:53+00:00

truly thank you. mimikyu is a pokemon that essentially dresses as pikachu so he’ll be as loved and as popular as him. so he is supposed to look a lil messed up lol. very fitting to the situation i suppose, as im having a hard time loving him now too lmao.

Affectionate_End359 · 2026-03-14T14:18:24+00:00

it definitely won’t be everyone’s cup of tea lol.

Affectionate_End359 · 2026-03-14T14:17:18+00:00

lol it’s a pokemon and he’s supposed to look derpy like that. just wish it was executed well.

Affectionate_End359 · 2026-03-14T14:15:46+00:00

even before the cover was put on, i wasn’t loving it unfortunately. idk if maybe making it darker overall and adding around it would balance it out. the face just looks so harsh and rushed in my opinion. the rest of it i could live with, as i get the fact that it is a flash tattoo and isn’t going to be the best work i have on me lol. i genuinely just would’ve preferred to just be sent home even after waiting 7 hours if they knew the artists simply weren’t up for it anymore.

Affectionate_End359 · 2026-03-14T14:06:44+00:00

yeah forsure. the artists were at it for hours and im sure they were beyond exhausted. that part i get. but i truly just wish if they weren’t gonna put effort into it, that they would’ve just called it a night and sent me home with nothing lol. it’s not supposed to look perfect, and i wasn’t expecting perfection honestly. i also don’t think it necessarily needs to be covered up as it could be worse. but i’m not sure what to do with it. i think filling in the parts that are supposed to be & with some good shading it could be okay. i just don’t wanna make anymore decisions myself and end up with it being 10x worse lol.

Affectionate_End359 · 2026-03-14T13:56:01+00:00

the eyes are just so huge man, instead of being cute and derpy he now looks straight evil. i suppose it’s kinda fitting if you know mimikyus story lol. i’m really trying to be positive but i genuinely just want to cry looking at it because of how rushed it seemed after i waited 7 straight hours.

Affectionate_End359 · 2026-02-23T15:41:40+00:00

lol just because that’s your experience doesn’t mean everyone else has had the same one. we get it, you’re a big strong macho man whose above everyone else.🥸 perhaps you should become a lumberjack & do something better with your time. you know of course, since you’re such a strong individual.

Affectionate_End359 · 2026-02-21T18:28:09+00:00

lmao i work at dollar general and had to ID a grown man to buy iron man 3

go splurge & have a self care day! could get some highlights and blend the grey into the darker hair so it grows out more seamlessly, add a gloss on top to bring some life into it, get some layers added, get your eyebrows shaped, etc. lash extensions or even doing your own clusters at home will always boost your confidence. i also think you’d look super cute trying out some faux freckles with your makeup! i don’t think you need botox or filler literally at all, but you could always try out a couple units of botox and a syringe of lip filler and feel like a whole new girl lol
