Not a hater, I just appreciate good body art. I applaud you for your dedication.
Location is no excuse for lettering like that. All chopped up, some touching some not. It just looks sloppy that is all. You post a tattoo on a public forum asking for opinions, you will get good and bad most of the time take it with a grain of salt. I like the idea, I just would have had someone with a little more experience do it.

Just saw this, but yeah I hear you man. I should have added that this was taken not even 12 hours after it was finished so it was still swollen and in the healing process. The only two letters that are touching are the 'm' and 'y' and I prefer it that way because it almost right in the middle of the tattoo.

Take your time lol. I don't personally regret mine but boy I've heard plenty of stories. And do not drink alcohol prior to the tattoo because it just thins your blood out and is annoying to clean lol. Just light up and chill on some jams

I would go to a pro and ask their evaluation. They could touch it up completely for a better outcome. The mistake your friend made on the letter "C" is obvious with the outline on the left of it and the front bumper and the ITR wing is way too small for the whole shape of the car. It looks like a shark's head.

Muscle shape at the time you get a tattoo shouldn't even play a factor on how it turns out. A professional would make it work.

not to mention the outline looks like it was done in two unconnected strokes. If the typography was uniform it would look a lot different.

Hmm I like this response. Gives me a good outlook on it. I could try to see if it can be fixed but that worries me. I'd rather leave it then walk out of a shop with an even worse looking tattoo lol. I do agree that the 'D' and 'C' are a little crooked and I actually asked him to make the wing smaller cuz I have a gsr not a type r

After seeing that, it looks like he took the outline from the inside of that pic rather than the outside. X2 on the shark thing, was gonna say that but thought I'd sound like a dick however I worded it. I'm sure it could get touched up in some areas, but a couple spots it looks like there isn't much that can be done. Like towards the back, Idk if its supposed to be a window or if he lost track of the line for a sec.

Lol damn you guys are pros...
To everyone here that replied...are all of your tattoos (if you have any) absolutely perfect?

And yeah thats exactly what he did lol he took the inner line and traced that. Also I didnt even notice the other part you described as the back window....I think that was my fault for moving lol

Maybe I shouldn't have posted such a zoomed in detailed picture of the tattoo because if we were standing face to face you would not be able to pick out all of these "imperfections"

Pros? Call it what you want bro we just tell it like it is.
Define perfect. Any tattoo can have imperfections, depends on who is looking at it.
I have a couple lettering tattoos. Shaded/colored script not basic bubble letters.... My shit is proper, but I also paid shop prices for mine. No matter what you say I don't think you will like what we have to say.
That was the main problem then.... the outer part of the outline are closer to the true lines of the car, not the inner part.

Sorry I should have completed my thought. I meant pros at picking out imperfections lol. But yeah I'm gunna see if I can get a pro to make that outline thicker to fix the jaggedness and possibly shade in the DC2 part to attempt to fix how unstraight it is. Samurai please dont assume anything I was going for, it just makes you look like an ass.

Also more thoughts/suggestions on improvemnts will be greatly appreciated

EDIT: dlo can I see some of your tattoos? Just curious is all...post em on here

I really dont care what you think, you wanted opinions and you got them. Your attitude towards people giving their opinions about the tattoo were pretty closed minded like saying "i love haters" etc. Its not really until this page your attitude is changing imo. So, i made a very educated guess.
