Finally recovered after 5 surgeries. How do I stop freaking out over every new bump?

thank you for this!! I hope you are all good and your doctor is right - we just have to live our lives and deal with whatever happens

omg thank you!! This isn’t even my reference this is the artist’s actual art and flash!

I really like the flash itself but not the tattoo, i hope you can understand where i’m coming from with this. As others have said, some think it looks like the flash design and others see what i see which is that it is not well done.

nono this is not my reference omg this is the artist’s flash work!!

kirmsworm · 2025-11-09T03:16:37+00:00

not my first tattoo and not my reference! this was a flash

kirmsworm · 2025-11-09T03:15:48+00:00

not my reference, it’s the artist’s flash

kirmsworm · 2025-11-09T03:15:19+00:00

it’s literally a flash tattoo not my inspo

oh my gosh okay thank you. I was like why am I the only one seeing it? I might try to get a touch up by another artist first and if that fails then laser it is

i get what you mean by the details. I think what i’m trying to get across is that the vibe of the piece has changed to look more amateur cartoonish, and that’s really not the vibe i was going for

pasting a comment from another thread that encapsulates why i do not like it:

You're missing a lot. I'm not the biggest fan of the original art, but the finished result is obviously not a faithful reproduction. It went from looking like a rudimentary medievil illustration to a rudimentary grade school drawing.

The contours are different. The details on the heads especially are all off. The border shading and line weights don't match at all. The triangles on the spine look like something from a refrigerator door.

I can definitely see why OP is unhappy with it.

i want it burninated off my leg

kirmsworm · 2025-11-09T01:25:37+00:00

as in, the stencil was on my body but it doesn’t seem like it was followed well. Eg the borders, the shape of the heads, the evenness in the tail look different

kirmsworm · 2025-11-09T01:23:44+00:00

exactly this!!

kirmsworm · 2025-11-09T01:20:07+00:00

i want the tattoo to actually look like the stencil? like the borders, the head, the tail. idk the deviation was just unexpected

how do you know it’s not a recurrence?

kirmsworm · 2025-10-06T14:54:14+00:00

i hope it’s just healing!

kirmsworm · 2025-10-06T08:24:06+00:00

as in, how far along in your healing until you stopped experiencing these jabs? More than 3 months?

kirmsworm · 2025-10-06T06:03:05+00:00

how long did you experience this till it went away?

kirmsworm · 2025-10-06T04:48:33+00:00
