I got this tattoo done one week ago today. At the time I did not notice that the last two stars were not straight but they are crooked and it really bugs me. If anyone has any suggestions on how to make it look better I would really appreciate it.

Chalk it up as an individual quirk that no one else will have...

or surround them all with some more tattoo work to make it less noticeable.

Hi, I was thinking about maybe adding some smaller stars and lines like I have on my foot to make it less noticeable. But, I don't want it to end up cluttered looking.

Thanks for the quick reply:)

This is what I have on my right foot:

it depends on where you'd be adding them.. I think some more smaller stars and lines would work, but not too many, or it'll look bad.

I was thinking if I make the larger star have lines similar to the ones on my foot it would draw the attention away from the crooked stars.

I like the design on your foot, but the neck seems redundant with all those stars. Have you thought about adding some other interesting designs and themes?

Is it the picture, or my imagination, or is the foot tattoo not symetrical either?

One of the lines in the big star looks crooked.

The stuff coming out of the star is uneven and at different angles.

The little stars are not balanced.

Again, maybe it's just the angle of the picture, or my old eyes....but by any chance did the same Tattoo person do your foot and your necklace?

Hi, the person who did the first big star on my foot did do parts of it crooked. I went back to someone different about a year later and they redid it and fixed it the best they could. He drew the lines around the star right on my foot, so they would flow with my foot shape.

The person who did the stars on my chest works at the same shop but is a different person. He has done some really nice tattoos for my sister that is why I went there. I have an artist who I usually go to at a different shop but he is kind of picky on what he tattoos(in my opinion). He is working on my legs right now and I hate to go there and ask him to fix the stars but I might have to. Hopefully, he would not mind too much.

Seems your luck with stars sucks....perhaps it's a sign? Very Happy

I have 2 sparrows on my chest that are un even. It grows on you, plus I got a bunch more tattooed around it so that takes the focus off of it.

I don't think them being off is any big deal. I would like to see the first one outlined like the rest. At the rate you're going you'll probably be adding more to it anyway.

Hi, and thank you for the idea. I will definitely get the larger one outlined like the rest but I don't know what else I will add yet.

just throw in smaller stars at different angles then it will look planned.
