This tattoo is 16 months old and I still love it, despite some fading in the yellow. I'm eager to hear opinions from more experienced individuals.
Tiger Tattoo Overcoming Spasms
I got this tiger tattoo despite dealing with involuntary leg spasms from MS. My artist was incredibly patient, and after three 3-hour sessions, the beautiful tiger was complete, symbolizing my resilience.
Octopus and Healed Mushrooms
This tattoo is a personal adaptation from an illustration I loved. The mushrooms, symbolizing growth and connection, are beautifully healed, while the fresh octopus represents the ongoing journey and adaptability in my life.

I initially regretted my Eye of Horus moon hand tattoo due to placement, but after completing my full sleeve and updating the hand piece, I'm finally happy with the result. Despite needing some touch-ups, I love how they look now.
First Tattoo Smearing Concern
I just got my first tattoo three days ago and I'm worried the ink looks smeared. It might just be my first-time paranoia, but I wanted to check if this is a normal part of the healing process or something I should be concerned about.
