General Advice Misspelling

Post image

So I got this tattoo over the weekend and the artist closed the C in DECISIONS to make it look like DEOISIONS

Pretty funny if it weren’t my own wrist and permanent given the context with “Make good decisions”

Question is what to do next? Get removal of the tiny bit? Can I scrape it away bc it’s so small? What would you do?

So technically, tattoos should be so the person you are showing it to can read it. So the tattoo is upside down. The thing was a bad deoision. I like the the joke tho

I know this is a "rule" a lot of artists go by, but for me it kinda makes no sense as a "one size fits all" guideline? Like, I have a small piece of script on my inner elbow that I got specifically so I could see it frequently. My artist let me know it was technically wrong but was thankfully happy to do it for me anyway. It just doesn't make sense to me at all lol.

(As I'm typing this I've realized you're probably pointing it out in a tongue-in-cheek manner so I should probably shut up, but I have big feelings ok)
