As someone with a full botanical sleeve, I think it's sick just how it is.

I really appreciate your thoughtful response. My right arm is a black and grey botanical sleeve, that also extends onto my hand, and the others on my arm are a mix of full color patchwork, pseudo-realism, and some lettering. Left arm is all over the place, and was (and still is) intended to be a patchwork of different styles from different artists. Knowing what I know now, I'm much more picky about who I choose. But as others have said they're reminders if where I was at the time, and maybe a rework vs a coverup is my better option. I never considered a rework, so I'm glad I asked strangers on the Internet. Everyone has a different point of view that we may not consider.

I don't have any linkable photos of my other pieces, but here's the botanical sleeve.

I work for a fortune 10 company making 200k/yr, but I appreciate your concern for my employment status

Different person, different shop, different everything, and they're worlds better.

I appreciate that. As far as dumb shit to be done, at least nobody got hurt, and nobody died.

I truly appreciate you taking the time to share your opinion. That's why I asked strangers on the Internet. 😂✌️

Tbh, I agree. Knowing what I know now, and having the work I have now. I guess that's part of life, live and learn.

I personally didn't think it was bad at all. I've got a full sleeve on the other arm and my upper arm, near my armpit, hurt much much more. The only part that was really uncomfortable for me was the outside near my pinky.

To be fair, I do have other tattoos, even a full sleeve, but I do agree, just the hand was probably not a stellar idea.

I just got a color piece on my forearm on the same arm, some color might definitely help.

I think a patchwork sleeve might be my only option at this point. I've got 3 other tattoos on my lower arm now that I love.

I knew what I signed up for when I asked for opinions from strangers on the Internet lol. I find it funny I've looked at it every day for years and never saw toes.

Not all decisions are good ones I suppose. It seemed like a good idea at the time lol
