maybe red root floaters? water lettuce? open to suggestions. no hornwort tho cause I’m allergic ;(
Also thinking of adding a cO2 system, would be open to any suggestions/advice from people who have done that with a tank this small :)
To make a long story short, it was my first tattoo, I had just turned 18 two days ago, and I changed my mind last minute and impulsively decided to go with California poppies (I’m from California). Tattoo artist used single needle hyper realistic technique. Would I get this tattoo again? No. I don’t like how it’s barely visible. I’m really disappointed by the way the colors have faded. I didn’t know what I was getting myself into and I should have done more research. But also the light oranges on my olive skin color was a poor choice imo. And since I’ve started testosterone (FtM) my legs have gotten much much hairier, further obscuring all the little details that make the tattoo beautiful (I’ve shaved my leg in the last photo so you can see what I mean). If I get it touched up I’ll probably get some much darker oranges, less realistic, and a bold black outline, probably something American traditional-esque. I guess if there’s one good thing I can take away from the experience, it’s now I know what I DONT like, lol! Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s a pretty design for someone else, but not for me.
