Mixed feelings about tattoo turning into insecurity
I got this tattoo quite recently (my fourth so far) and I mostly love it. I like how it looks up close because you can see all of the detail, I love the dark style and feel it really suits me but from afar like in the second picture, the shading and line work in the blade of the sword kind of just looks smudgy and the shading looks sort of inconsistent or wonky if thats the right word. Just looks strange and messy, in my opinion at least. It’s also one of those things when I see it in photos it looks so foreign to me, obviously because it’s flipped around and I’m so used to seeing my tattoos and myself in front of a mirror, that plays on my mind a lot lmao. Super insecure about it and I know it’s probably just me but still would love some advice on ways I could have it touched up or just peoples genuine opinions on matters like this. I know a lot of people on this sub that I’ve read seem to have struggled with these sorts of obsessions over their tattoos so I thought I’d hop on the bandwagon 😁
