I mean this as the highest of compliments: It looks photoshopped.

In S. Korea it was considered socially unacceptable for the longest time and you couldn't even go into public baths/saunas if you had a tattoo. Not sure what it's like now but that was the deal when we lived there in 2007.
Yeah for sure, there are ways to do it without just putting a logo on yourself or doing some edgy quote. I have a stylized Paragon wing from Mass Effect on my shoulder blade, a Captain Jack on my forearm but the bird is a jackdaw on my forearm, and a Butterfree on my arm in the American traditional style of a moth (see below)
Mine is the standard color, my wife's is the pink Butterfree from the episode where Ash's Butterfree falls in love and flies away
Congrats on your tattoo, that came out really well!
I wonder what the after-care procedure is like. Like can one still use a sponge to wash the spot, or would you just to use water. And what about cremes during the healing process. I know that sun cream is a good idea for whenever you go outside if the tattoo's not covered.

you just like soap up the area and wash it off, just make sure you don't scrub or pick at any of the scabbing that occurs. and while it's healing you just put jojoba oil on it two or three times a day and keep it out of direct sunlight and you'll be fine
Haha yeah, Bloodborne is like one of my favorite games of all time and I love the Hunter's Mark logo, it's stylish and discreet enough.
Same thing, video games are a big part of my life. It's a hobby sure, but a hobby I'm very invested in!
I like the One Wing on the shoulder idea a lot btw! But I think that if you really want a first tattoo, it'd be better to start with a simple one.
Ooh it looks amazing! Congrats!

Ya know, my spine didn't really bother me at all with my tattoo, I was surprised. The worst area on my back was actually near the top of my shoulders where the "wings" of my tattoo spread out (the tops of the wings kinda come up to the bottom/middle of my traps). Damn, that was tender. My artist said it was almost the exact opposite pain pattern than she expected me to have since it was my first one haha.
Can't wait to get a sleeve though. Still haven't decided what I wanna get. They're addictive!
Also @OP, that looks great!!
That is infinitely better than I expected. Roman numeral birth/wedding/death tats are so common and often subpar with shitty lettering. Person you went to obviously knew what they were doing and was able to stiple it nicely as well. There isn't much fine detail in it either so the majority of it should hold up pretty well. Kudos.

Reading through all the comments and feedback again, you guys are awesome! Thanks so much for the love and support.
You really helped me to feel good about my decision to get this done!

I went to the tattooist for the first time today to check out their place, and I showed them this picture. He just took a photo of it on his phone and told me it'll take half an hour to do, and cost me $140 which seems cheap to me. Kind of worried it won't turn out that great but I guess I'll find out in a week which is my appointment.
If it has words on it, make sure it is spelled correctly.
Omg i just looked at the dates. I am replying to an old thread. What a doofus.
