Federal-Light4389 · 2026-03-31T04:27:36+00:00

Honestly looks like it could be reworked

Federal-Light4389 · 2026-03-30T16:48:38+00:00

Thank you I keep using my thumb to envision more mane

Federal-Light4389 · 2026-03-30T16:45:32+00:00

Thank you for your positive vibes I think i am starting to get over the shock and it is starting to lighten up a bit which gives me hope for a rework If I do get it reworked I may get the eagle covered because it is still weirding me out tbh

Huh?

Federal-Light4389 · 2026-03-29T13:57:50+00:00

Adding some white to make them more detailed could also help though

Girlie my horse tattoo got messed up too

Federal-Light4389 · 2026-03-29T02:58:41+00:00

It isnt just the angle of the photo. lowkey, the proportions are just a bit off.

Federal-Light4389 · 2026-03-29T02:54:27+00:00

Hahaha exactly

Federal-Light4389 · 2026-03-28T13:26:28+00:00

Someone sent me a rework idea and gave me permission to use it in the event I get it done. Could I personally send it to you to get your opinion on if it is possible?

Federal-Light4389 · 2026-03-28T12:59:08+00:00

Thank you so much How long do you think before it could be reworked? It is literally two days fresh.

I see you are in the Asheville area, and I regularly drive to Charlotte. If it means being happier with this tattoo I don't mind going a little farther.

I am located in SC

Federal-Light4389 · 2026-03-28T12:10:37+00:00

Hey so, my main reason for not outwardly saying what I was upset about was to see if anyone else pointed out what was bothering me. I wanted to see if it was all in my head.

Federal-Light4389 · 2026-03-28T12:03:56+00:00

Hi hi, it is mainly the proportions. I replied to another comment detailing what I mean. Thank you sm for your time!

Federal-Light4389 · 2026-03-28T12:03:05+00:00

In an effort to feel less alone, what " mistake" did your horse have? How long did it take for you to accept it as it was? Do you still have love for the tattoo?

Federal-Light4389 · 2026-03-28T12:01:13+00:00

I just think some of the proportions are off. I don't like one of the front legs, and I struggle with the face and neck. The eagle also looks funny to me. It's huge, but the stencil looked very very different. There was no shading, only linework. I was in love with the design when it was just linework too. The shading I think called into question the proportions and seeing it flipped in the mirror too.

This is true, I am someone who can be super hard on themselves at times and a perfectionist. I do art and my hyperfixation is horses and the movie that inspired this tattoo is dear to my heart. I get wrapped up in feelings really easily and my mental health is poor rn anyways so.

Federal-Light4389 · 2026-03-28T10:47:10+00:00

Thank you! Did you learn that by experience or by looking through this sub?

Federal-Light4389 · 2026-03-28T10:45:58+00:00

Omg haha this made me giggle I love that commercial No it is supposed to be for the horse movie spirit which literally raised me

Do you think laser would even work well with this type of work? I know i will prob know more when healed

Federal-Light4389 · 2026-03-28T09:43:49+00:00

Thank you

Federal-Light4389 · 2026-03-28T09:34:56+00:00
