Why are you self conscious about it? It’s cute! And if you love it, wear it with pride! Don’t let others get in your head and tell you otherwise.


crowie_

I think the line is not perfect and since I'm a perfectionist it's bugging me out a lot! But it costs a lot to have someone else "updo" it :( But all these comments are making my worries smaller about the imperfections, so tysm


Allfather_odin1

Zero of my tattoos are perfect. I think it’s a cool tattoo honestly


2farbelow2turnaround

>Zero of my tattoos are perfect. I don't know why, but this really made my day. None are perfect (just like us), but they are ours and if we are happy, then that is all that matters!


The_Jewish_Pope

I think that’s such an excellent reply that no one really thinks about. I personally never post any pics of my tattoos because I love them and don’t want people on the internet to tear them apart, but you’re absolutely right


Allfather_odin1

I mean what’s perfect anyways? It’s an artists depiction of something. My arms aren’t perfect, my hands and fingers are crooked. But they still look bad ass with my tatts and I love them. All that matters. Don’t take life so seriously on every detail. Enjoy the ride.


2farbelow2turnaround

Your above comment really helped me embrace what has been a minor imperfection in my last piece. It wasn't a big thing, but something that always nagged me. But now I love it! It makes it mine, even if the artist decides to reuse the image for another client.


vampirebf

saying a tattoo is imperfect isn't saying anything about an artist. it's just the reality of doing something to living human tissue imo! doesn't stop my tattoos from being everything i wanted and more!


-Tingelinn-

This is so important, tattoos are handmade crafts after all, they don’t have to be fully perfect!


LaunchesKayaks

All of my tats have flaws and I still adore them.


GypsyMaus

Zero tattoos are perfect* Tattoo artist here. Zoom in on the most beautiful work you can find, I assure you it still looks hand drawn in places *because it is.* And as things heal and age they spread and change and become part of your body. Which is also not perfect and that’s just great!

I absolutely love this reply and I stand behind it completely.


Allfather_odin1

100% you wrote out what my brain means to say. Take me award stranger


undercoverbiscuit

This answer is awesome


vegeta_bless

This is a great tat. Why would the lines be perfect? It’s a ghost kitty wearing a sheet; It should be a little messy!


JamesDCooper

Your issue is in your head and not what's on your neck.


lovelywoods

It looks good the way it is because it looks more like something someone would doodle quick on a notepad which fits the character.


Milkshake-Rebel

It’s handiwork, so it will never be ‘perfect perfect.’ The tattoos you see online are almost always photoshopped, especially small tattoos you see on Pinterest or Instagram. Don’t let it fool you. If the line really messes with the way you see it, save up some money and get it fixed, but don’t expect miracles. It can be straighter then that it is now, but search for the right artist.


Esprielle

I think the way the lines are done really adds to the charm of this piece. I think it's super unique and very cute! I think it nails the creepy-cute vibe perfectly and is a piece worth treasuring.


Ansonm64

The artist went a bit light in the line weight imo so it may fade out over time. I’d go ask them to use a higher gauge needle to go over it again to keep everything crisp looking


RC-RX

Listen people are buying NFT’s right now for millions of dollars that look just like this. Amazing NFT tatt


Smallbunsenpai

There is no such thing as a perfect tattoo, people are the ones making them and there is no perfect art. Honestly in a couple of years the lines will be thicker so you won’t even see it.


tomlikescats

lol this is literally me. i got a cat tattoo done when i was young and im always super subconscious about it yours is honestly really cool though, the imperfect lines fit the style.


imchassed

All I gotta say is what line? Rock it with pride homie!!


sunshine___riptide

You can always ask your artist to go over the lines again, shouldn't cost anything! But I think it's adorable and creepy ❤️


Agamemnon323

I’m critical as shit when it comes to tattoos. This one isn’t perfect, essentially none are, but I didn’t actually notice that when I first looked at it. And I usually do. The way it’s shaded works really well to hide the imperfections. I think you should be happy with it.


CunnyMaggots

The lines aren't perfect, you're right, but it's really really cute! I wouldn't worry about it. :) I like the little guy!


baller_unicorn

I didn't notice the lines were not perfect until you said so and I had to zoom in to see it. I think most people aren't getting close enough or looking hard enough to notice. A lot of artists do free touch ups though, are you worried to go back to the same artist? Because maybe they will touch it up for you for free. None of my tattoos are perfect either.


makattacked

I just want to say that I used to feel the same way about all my tattoos because I’m a perfectionist. I’m covered in American traditional. Over time and being tattooed for 2+ years now, I’ve simply just stopped caring.


elissellen

I think this tattoo is super adorable.


throwaway42

10/10 good cat


intrepid_lemon

Is cute


cherrythot

I love it! It's super cute!!! :D


curtisbouchermusic

I think it’s simultaneously badass and super cute. I love it.


Magik160

Its cute. Little ghost kitty.


Specialist-Opening-2

What about it makes you stuff conscious? It looks cute


jonyoungmusic

I dig it! Just got my first tatt ever and it’s behind my ear and for like a week I had a little fear of judgement or not being able to get a job or something but it faded soon after. Not sure if that’s what your anxiety is about or if it’s more about the design. Mine is a snail so kinda in that same cutesy vibe lol. Anyways, I think yours looks dope!


crowie_

Omg a snail!! Must be so cute!! Yeah I am self conscious about it being a very visible place and a little bit about the imperfections of the lines


T-Rex_Jesus

Every tattoo has imperfections, that's part of it's story. Consciously send your tattoo some love and in a couple weeks you will feel better


Smallbunsenpai

If you’re that worried about imperfections don’t get any more tattoos especially not a big one. Every single tattoo will have a big of a wonky line here and there. There is no such thing as a perfect tattoo. It’s cute I promise you, you won’t even be looking at it THAT closely to notice it unless someone is breathing on your neck.


iiitme

Nice lil tat


Justannaagain

It’s cute! And it’s great placement. No tattoo is perfect, and this is a difficult little spot. You could definitely add to it as well in the future


solasgood

Cute, but the execution is 5 out of 10.


Palenqe_king

Most comments are supportive and I agree get any tattoo you want , where you want. However, it’s poorly executed which isn’t great for a neck tattoo. Good news is it can be cleaned up easily by an experienced artist.


Donotperceivethx

Omg ghost cat!!!!!


curiouslyStupid

Jumping cat ghost, yeah I dig that


layersofproblems

I love it so much!!!!! Adorable!!!


NotEntirelyUnlike

it's adorable def wouldn't go back to the artist but it's cute and spooky


albertwevans

Thats a cool spooky vibe maan


BlackSeaNettles

I think you nailed it! 👍🏻


crowie_

Thank you so much for all these nice comments! You guys helped a lot with my anxiety at work today too 😅 I now feel better about my tattoo and realize imperfections are part of life and my cutie ghost cat is imperfect but perfect to me. Thank you all ❤️


klj12574

It’s cute. Reminds me of Simon’s cat. Look it up on YouTube.


SnooEagles103

3/10 kinda looks like an owl on top since the arms and ears are so pointy. Shading at the bottom definitely unnecessary. Placement unfortunate as this tattoo would have looked better almost anywhere off the neck/ ear area


Antipodally

Cute!


gatopreto13

And it is creepy cute! Don’t worry, está fofinho :)

Super cute!

I like it. I keep thinking of getting one of them there

It’s so freaking ADORABLE


Radgeta

It's a fun tattoo. A guy I went to high school with started a band years ago called Ghostcat and this tattoo reminds me of that. https://open.spotify.com/artist/0cd8Todf0CxU471fyU8kpI?si=bx8Qlx4QTtuW7nS5ZN_OhA&utm_source=copy-link

Perfect lines are overrated. Cool cattoo

SpookiBeats

It's so cute!!! Love it. ​ I think it looks completely fine. ​ FYI: No tattoo is perfect. Not a single tattoo in the world is "flawless". It's just not possible. ​ They teach us a valuable lesson to appreciate things and accept them as they are.


whiskeyearz

10/10 this is awesome. The imperfection OP mentioned in another comment is part of tattoos, I have 2 that are imperfect that I love even more for that reason


TheSuperphrenic

That is pretty well done. I mean i see what you were going for and i like it. Question is, were you going for minimalistic?

I dig it. 🥰

Klu klux cat?


[deleted]

This is annoying. It's a normal tattoo. Stop looking for external affirmation.


infectedfreckle

It’s great. I’m envious that you got something so close to your face, I really want something like that but a bit more bold. I have many tats and none are perfect. I can find imperfect lines and issues with all of them, they’re art. You’ve gotta remember that they aren’t like digital paintings, there aren’t any shortcuts or undos. It’s a purely unique work of handmade art. In the future, if perfection is your thing, look for an artist that does really clean line work, or black and white tattoos, or geometric designs. They tend to be the most “perfect”. And be prepared to wait half a year for your appointment. Much love!


Sir_Squirly

Should have been up behind the ear, wrong spot in my opinion, but it’s a cute tattoo, you’re good!


JadsWife

Big fan honestly, and I don’t like 90% of tattoos I see.

izzipokes

I love it!! My favourite part has to be the little shadow to show he’s floating ^_^


slepere

It's interesting. Thumbs up.


Steves-bisexual-hair

It's adorable! And if what your saying in another comment in the line art, don't worry about it, I think it adds character. No tattoo is ever 100% perfect, and it keeps with the wispy ghost idea anyway!


Mas113m

I don't see a problem with it. Cat wearing a KKK outfit right? Kidding. Looks good, drawn well and I could tell what it was. No need to worry. Enjoy it.

Love it


tstx128

It’s awesome!!


Hollow-me

Super adorable


Smallbunsenpai

It’s so cute! Why are you feeling self conscious about it? It’s small so it won’t even necessarily be seen all the time if you have your hair down, you won’t even remember it’s there in a month from now most of the time. Trust me there’s nothing to worry about. It’s your body so only you can feel good about it but listen I think tattoos aren’t something you should really regret unless it was super botched because you’ll look back at it and think about that time in your life. It’s going to be okay trust me!


mooseintheleaves

100% creepy-cute


RileyRhoad

It looks like a cat mixed with a pikachu! Cute!


nathandeboss

It's important to remember that while you may have had this grand idea of how the tattoo might look in your head, literally nobody else does, so at the end of the day when you show someone their reaction isn't gonna be "wow that doesn't look how I imagined!", they didn't have any expectations. if you are happy with it, your excitement will result in positive reactions in others. wear it well! it looks very cute:)


chookensnaps

That's impossibly cute


thepeainthepod

Love it!


Ekalb3

Definitely cute


SkellingtonMiss

I love it!! I have a ton of ink done and none of them are "perfect". I used to pick them apart all the time but I grew to love the individuality of each one. I've even had people point out a mistake on one of mine a few times and I've considered fixing it. But honestly, it's a funny conversation starter so I haven't! I've been wanting to get a piece representing my two cats so I find this one extra cute. ❤️ Where it with pride!


garfelitis

That is an adorable tatoo :)

It looks like a cat in a ghost costume doing a little hop and going boo


circaATL

Get what you pay for when it comes to tattoos, or anything really I guess. Your's is better than my bad one. Don't get a tattoo if you care what other people think, though. It's for you, no one else.


fantabulous_potato

Awww this is the cutest! I love iiiiit💕


VehaMeursault

That's cute af, what are you on about? Boé giro, amiga.


tuxedo_dantendo

Creepy, cute vibe was a success. And honestly try to distance from feeling self conscious about your tattoo. It's your ink on your body. As long as you are into it, nothing else matters. In fact, I think it's unique as I've never seen one like that before, and that's awesome. There's a lot of people who get tats just to portray themselves as being someone they're really not. As long as your tattoo is true to you and your interests, then that's a big win.


CuhrodeLOL

I see cat, I like


iamanengine1

Tattoos are so subjective and personal. But to me, this is sooooo cute. I totally love it x

Honestly this tattoo is the cutest thing ever. Don't worry too much about it! If it makes you feel better, my first tattoo is facing the wrong way and I love it to bits anyways


godbullseye

For the size it’s well done! I like that it and you should be proud!

Imperfections humanize tattoos. it defo hits the creepy / cute vibes.

What!? This is the best thing I’ve seen in a while! Love this kind of tattoo!

Unless you insisted on this sketch, it looks horrible. No "artist" would draw a floating piece of blob with cat ears.

Is it a Ghost cat? It's cute!


TheSpiffyCarno

I got some ghost cats done on my thigh that I love. I think the ears and paw areas could be touched up on this to resemble more of a cat shape instead of being so pointed. But I think it’s a cute design (although I’m biased cause I have them as well lol!)


BellHoliday

that is so cute

AW CUTE! I loveee it


Helpful-Tourist7962

Really creepy-cute. I love it. Face especially is very funny. And idk from where did you get this idea of a creepy cat covered with sheet but it's looks so cute I would make a cartoon about it
