buyer's remorse

i never thought i would say this...

i'm not thrilled with the tattoo i got last night.

i have been planning this tattoo for almost 2 years. i had an idea that i wanted it to look like.

i drew it and re-drew it. i spent hours perfecting the design. the drawing above it what i took to the tattooer.

when i showed up for the appointment last night he had removed the cross and many of the flourishes and replaced them with a rose on the skull's forehead.

so i asked him to change those elements back. i checked the spelling of deuteronomy, but sadly i didn't look at the verse's address. i failed to notice that he had a dash where there should have been a colon.

now that is all i see.

i am so disappointed in myself for failing to notice that very important detail.

i hope the tattooer and i can find a way to fix the error. i feel like such an idiot right now.
