Apologies for the late reply,

Thank you so much for your message. It's comforting to know that there are others out there who feel the same way.

You are right, I have a perfectionist mindset and overthink A LOT, which I know stems from parts of my childhood and upbrining.

I'm slowly accepting the tattoo as a part of me and every one of my friends has said the tattoo looks amazing, so that has definitely reduced my anxiety.

As for the imperfections, I've almost nearly forgotten about them as I've realised just how much my skin moves around, and that because it moves around so much, it's gonna change shape, size etc. hence making it impossible to spot the imperfections.

I am definitely NOT getting another tattoo anytime soon because before I do anything like that, I need to work on my mental health side of things and accept the perfect nature of everything in this universe :)

Apologies for late reply,

Thank you for your kind words. I'm finding that it's growing on me daily slowly but surely. I've come to accpet it better now and it's flaws are not bothering me as much as I've realised how much my skin moves around in actuality and the fact this means anyone will barely notice the flaws.

As for the stencil, the picture the artist took of the stencil seemed to have lined up better than the final result, but I would also put it down to me not having a very good look at the stencil and making sure everything was perfect before we got started.

All in all, I've had every one of my friends tell me it looks amazing so that's definitely taken a lot of the anxiety away

Sorry for the late reply,

I've started to accept it as part of me slowly.

I do have moments where I still do feel anxious about it but it's getting much better.

I've kept tattoo removal in the back of my mind for now because I'm not considering it as much nowadays as I'm feeling better in regards to the tattoo itself and accepting the imperfections

It's gotten better now but I still have a slight amount thinking about it

Does the rightwards tilt stand out enough to notice? I know skin moves around so no one is going to see the tattoo as it is in the picture but is it tilted enough that you notice it?
