**meant to say stick in title hey yall! my friend is practicing to be a stick and poke tattoo artist and i wanted to support them and i had seen their practice work and had initially felt good about it. showed them the design i wanted (first pic) but this is how the final tattoo turned out (second pic). needless to say im not super happy about it, and im super stressed it will look like this forever. im planning on booking an appointment with a professional artist to see what can be done, but just wanted to heard some thoughts from the community about if i can get my current situation to look like the inspiration design. i know this wasn’t the wisest decision and not my friends fault so please reframe from making those sorts of comments. ive learned my lesson :) thanks!
