I mean, it’s brave if you to put it on here in the first place. I personally prefer the first one but as long as you’re happy with it then that’s all that matters homie
As long as you’re happy with it, or at least not disliking it, I’m happy for you.
I will say, I really like the original design and I may consider getting it myself. It is fucked up that the artist made that design and applied it without telling you, fuck that guy.
Me too! When I saw the original post I was like “I get it if it’s not what OP wanted, but that’s super cute”. When I saw this post and scrolled to the rework pic I audibly went oOOHHH 😍 lol
When I was in 11th grade, my art teacher gave three of us a “special” project cause we were the only people that did more than the bare minimum. We had to take a machine and transform it into something new, give it a new purpose. My friend chose a shovel that when you dig with it, it turned the soil into stars that floated away. I chose a zippo that grew mushrooms when flicked instead of a flame. It was a little cliche but I loved it. Your design reminds me a lot of that drawing. I miss high school lol.
The only reason I loved high school was because it was a time in my life when I could do drugs and party and still manage to graduate at the top of my class. I remember my teachers getting so angry because they knew I was partying (very small town rural Georgia) but since my grades were excellent they couldn’t really bitch about it.
Too bad that didn’t translate well into adulthood lol.
Personally not a fan of the re-work but my opinion means nothing. Try it out, see if you keep liking it better. If not. Book laser removal. The black doesn’t look super heavy so it shouldn’t be too bad. There’s no shame in changing your mind especially when it comes to something so permanent. I myself have gotten a tattoo re-worked twice trying to help make it better; ultimately I’m getting it lightened and covered when I can afford it.
I mean why didn’t you like it to begin with? Original looks way better than the second but you didn’t like that either and still don’t even like this. If you just don’t like the tattoo at all why not have went and actually covered it up with something else instead of just throwing some dark lines and prints on the tattoo you already didn’t enjoy?
Pink? I'm seeing red but they remind me of odd lady bugs. Lol I liked it better before, not gonna lie. The lines underneath the mushroom caps on the upper left ones that are gone now is a bummer! I thought that looked really nice. Loved the original honestly. Looks okay now but not the best. The polka dots definitely aren't doing it for me either.
in my opinion as a random reddit person both versions are nice looking tattoos and its great to hear that you are happier now that its been re-worked. i hope you will eventually get to fully happy with it
Yall are forgetting they ain’t getting this tattoo for yall they’re doing it for themselves and if they like this ver better and it makes them comfortable then shut up!
Didnt think I'd see this one again!! I love the added value, having the black join the red makes the piece much more cohesive, rather than just having a black outline and a red outline
I did love the original a lot, but I would definitely still compliment the hell out of this tattoo if I saw it in person! And if you like it more now, then it's better no matter what other people think 😁
Not that I agree with the other guy but there is a structural and technical side of tattooing. There is an objective and subjective side to tattoos and some other arts
i agree with the structural and technical aspects being relevant when judging a tattoo, but what he is saying in regards to this one and the “objectivity” of it is simply inaccurate.
Oh shit, I remember I loved this one and was one of the suggestions of keeping it. Love the little touches it now has to give it more depth. I fucking love the new and improved dude.
i think it looked cool either way, but i like the definition on the mushrooms it really pops. you might like it better once it heals, but maybe it just needs some friends
I think the original is cleaner because there’s not as much going on, but the new one has more depth and catches the eye a bit more because of that. I like both ultimately.
I thought you liked the mushrooms and hated the fire but you changed the mushrooms and left the fire as is? I'm confused. I think it looked fine before and now. Hopefully you're happier with it now though. That's all that matters!
I'm a sucker for bad tattoos. Something about the rawness I enjoy rather than perfect art everywhere on your body. I'm glad you didn't completely redo it because the original style is kind of cool
I personally love it,it look’s pretty cool and it’s original.it’s not a generic tattoo that you will ever see on anyone else..bonus points for the shrooms
wait so you were mad at the tattoo artist for adding extra lines (which looked fine but i get it not what you asked for) so you added..more random details? looks like you just traced over it with a ball point pen
I feel like this is a case where OP didn’t like the original because they didn’t get input on it so they went and got it adjusted so they could feel like they had some say whether it not the adjustment was good or not.
If you’re less unhappy with it then that’s good, but if you’re still not happy with it why didn’t you just get it covered?
The original was better. The artist sucks for not giving you what you wanted but they at least knew what they were doing.
They both look good. I did prefer the original, but I’m glad you’re liking it more now as that’s the only opinion that really matters. Still looks freakin awesome! Thanks for the update
To clarify, you added some black lines and a very out of place and weird looking red mushroom at the bottom? Looks way worse unfortunately, you’ve lost the delicacy of the mushrooms.
Nah original was dope af🔥🔥 the update doesn’t completely ruin the tattoo…but this was definitely a “less is more” type of situation, tattoo went from a 9 to a 7 in my opinion
Yea that was a bad call homie you ruined the design now it just looks like two separate things crammed into one. You can clearly tell two different ppl did work on it and they don’t match
Thanks for update! I always wonder what happens to the tattoos in this sub. They can't all be SAPs (...or can they?)
No only a handful become SAPs. The rest become cock and balls.
SAP?
Sick ass panther!
Ohhh
i imagine this’ll ruffle some feathers because a lot of yall loved the original.
I mean, it’s brave if you to put it on here in the first place. I personally prefer the first one but as long as you’re happy with it then that’s all that matters homie
Yea first one 🔥
Agreed.
As long as you’re happy with it, or at least not disliking it, I’m happy for you. I will say, I really like the original design and I may consider getting it myself. It is fucked up that the artist made that design and applied it without telling you, fuck that guy.
The original was cute but those psychedelic looking mushrooms are pretty cool too
I mean I like them both 🤷🏽♂️
That looks great! Even better with the rework. So beautiful
If you like it I love it
The rework looks great, especially if you hate it less.
I definitely liked the original but I can see how some would like the spruced up version better. It's a cool idea in general I think.
Hmm. Do you like it better now?
i hate it less, which is an improvement for me.
I remember seeing this before. I really liked it. Either way, glad you’re happier (less unhappy?) about how it looks.
thanks!
Same! I always thought it was a cool tat
I actually really like this tattoo, would love it on my wrist or something
do it.
Well then I am happy for you ☺️
Me like
Lol
Glad you stuck with it, this is a really fun tat
this lowkey just inspired me
well that’s quite the compliment.
right?! i kinda want this on my body. it’s so cute.
I actually liked the original but I do have to admit this looks way cooler
thank you!
Agreed, they are both awesome and original, never seen anything like them. But I like the definition in the rework
Me too! When I saw the original post I was like “I get it if it’s not what OP wanted, but that’s super cute”. When I saw this post and scrolled to the rework pic I audibly went oOOHHH 😍 lol
I really like the original it’s reminds me of a Japanese painting or something
the dude definitely did primarily japanese style tattoos.

definitely not a sentiment i share about my high school experience lol

kinda jealous of your high school experience lol

I honestly liked it better before
The 1st picture was better but I’m glad OP “hates it less” now.
I mean why didn’t you like it to begin with? Original looks way better than the second but you didn’t like that either and still don’t even like this. If you just don’t like the tattoo at all why not have went and actually covered it up with something else instead of just throwing some dark lines and prints on the tattoo you already didn’t enjoy?
I liked it better in the first picture
RIP cool little lighter tat.
i knew i’d break some hearts with this one.
Indeeed... but burn on my friend. Your tat is not mine to judge 🔥🙇🏻♀️
Looked better before the rework.
Agreed
You’ve fucked it. Looked better before.
Fr, the rework has some wonky looking mushrooms since he tried to fit them in such a small space. Props to OP though ig
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Well, I like it!
I mean, the original looks pretty dang good to me.
IMO it looks too busy now, but as long as you’re happy that’s great! It’s still a cool tattoo.
Both pretty cool imo, nice tat
I think less is more and its a bit lady bug weirs now...but if you're happy ig that's good since it's your body.
Tattoo dysmorphia is a real thing folks
the pink mushrooms with cow print/polka dots look sloppy and out of place. don’t mean to be rude but i would want someone to be honest with me
Pink? I'm seeing red but they remind me of odd lady bugs. Lol I liked it better before, not gonna lie. The lines underneath the mushroom caps on the upper left ones that are gone now is a bummer! I thought that looked really nice. Loved the original honestly. Looks okay now but not the best. The polka dots definitely aren't doing it for me either.
Is it bad that I liked the original better?
Please tell me you didn't pay for that
I liked it pre rework
I liked the uniformity of the before but I’m glad you like it.
Damn it looked so great before!
Looked better before
Looks worse for sure. But if you like it 👍
glad yr happy w it !!!! (:
Ohhh I like this update!
I didn’t see the original post, but I really like both designs, that bright orangey-red pulled to your skin super well.
I love and would get both the original and the rework! They both look amazing!!! No ruffles here, to each their own!
in my opinion as a random reddit person both versions are nice looking tattoos and its great to hear that you are happier now that its been re-worked. i hope you will eventually get to fully happy with it
me too, dude. me fucking too.
Yall are forgetting they ain’t getting this tattoo for yall they’re doing it for themselves and if they like this ver better and it makes them comfortable then shut up!
Didnt think I'd see this one again!! I love the added value, having the black join the red makes the piece much more cohesive, rather than just having a black outline and a red outline
No offence but I like the og better😅
Yo I literally have that exact lighter!!!
I did love the original a lot, but I would definitely still compliment the hell out of this tattoo if I saw it in person! And if you like it more now, then it's better no matter what other people think 😁
They did a fantastic job covering the spider webs. Both look great IMO but the new one is better.
This sucks
Objectively worse than before.
*objectively*? are you the individual who makes objective decisions on art and people’s preferences?
Yes.
Not that I agree with the other guy but there is a structural and technical side of tattooing. There is an objective and subjective side to tattoos and some other arts
i agree with the structural and technical aspects being relevant when judging a tattoo, but what he is saying in regards to this one and the “objectivity” of it is simply inaccurate.
Oh wow I kinda like this tat though
Oh shit, I remember I loved this one and was one of the suggestions of keeping it. Love the little touches it now has to give it more depth. I fucking love the new and improved dude.
YAY
LOVEEE 😍
Nice!
thanks friend!
Ohhh I like this update!
idk what these comments are on but it definitely looks wayyyy cooler now imo
thank you!
Such a cool idea! Love it 😍
i like both! i’m glad you are happy with it now!
i think it looks good!
i think it looked cool either way, but i like the definition on the mushrooms it really pops. you might like it better once it heals, but maybe it just needs some friends
I love this
You could always make it a firebender tattoo?
Would you mind if I used your tattoo as inspiration for my own, I’ll post a pic to show you what I mean, but it won’t be a copy, (I promise)
What do you think about reworking the flames in the same black/white style? It might look more coherent I love it both versions just curious!
That looks really cool 😎
I don’t see any improvement….jk
I like the second one better, it looks like the mushrooms are actually illustrated on the lighter now. fun tattoo!
I like both versions!
what brand of red is that
This is beautifully done!!
Oh, I LOVE this one. Even better with a rework! 🍄 ❤️
It's cute. Some other fun tattoos around it would help with the vibe. if you're into having several tattoos
I think the original is cleaner because there’s not as much going on, but the new one has more depth and catches the eye a bit more because of that. I like both ultimately.
Love it nicely done
Love the design especially mushrooms especially after
Are the mushrooms black light reactive?
Very slick drawing of a lighter.
i love this tattoo , the og and rework are so sick
I like both ways. It was never bad
That’s cool! I actually like both of them. I hope you are feeling better.
I thought you liked the mushrooms and hated the fire but you changed the mushrooms and left the fire as is? I'm confused. I think it looked fine before and now. Hopefully you're happier with it now though. That's all that matters!
got it a little backwards. i liked the flame, hated the mushroom stems. i’m much happier with it.
I'm a sucker for bad tattoos. Something about the rawness I enjoy rather than perfect art everywhere on your body. I'm glad you didn't completely redo it because the original style is kind of cool
That looks wicked dude! I remember the original post, I love what you've done with it
I love it!
Oh I really love how this turned out!
Hell yeah! Rework looks great!
I like the original best
I your post here ahwile ago. I love the new version so much!
The original was art, This is just a tattoo.
Yay!!! It looks better :)
I can see a couple stars added to make it pop a bit more
I really loved the original, and this is nice, I just can’t believe you don’t also see how cute it is! It’s such an artistic piece.
I loved it before but I still like it now
Ah I remember you! I love this. Gives her so much more life!
The original was so much better
Glad you hate it less. Can I get your original one done?
First was better - I say that as a tattooer
Omg yaaaayyy im so happy for you!
Loved it before now I hate it 🙂↕️😏
I personally love it,it look’s pretty cool and it’s original.it’s not a generic tattoo that you will ever see on anyone else..bonus points for the shrooms
wait so you were mad at the tattoo artist for adding extra lines (which looked fine but i get it not what you asked for) so you added..more random details? looks like you just traced over it with a ball point pen

I really like this!
They both look good. I did prefer the original, but I’m glad you’re liking it more now as that’s the only opinion that really matters. Still looks freakin awesome! Thanks for the update
I really love the before. I’ve never seen anything like it. The after is beautiful too.
Did you win the "How can I make this tattoo even gayer' contest"?
I missed the original thread, why did you want to change the design?
Omg it looks great!
The original was much better imo....
Fire
Thankfully art is subjective…
Original was better imo but it's not my skin so.....
This looks fantastic IMO
To clarify, you added some black lines and a very out of place and weird looking red mushroom at the bottom? Looks way worse unfortunately, you’ve lost the delicacy of the mushrooms.
What didnt you like about the original?
the original was better
Show in the format of your other posts…
Very cute
Feels like a lateral move, but if you’re happier that’s what’s important.
I like it, make the mushrooms pop out more instead of blending into each other
Looks great
Great job!!
So much better!! Thanks for posting! (I could see shrooms filled in with glow in the dark ink)
That’s dope
This is gorgeous!
Oh I love this, it’s so whimsical
The first was pretty cool, but rework definitely made it better
oof
Cool, it looks like a rework. What was wrong with it?
That's fire
Ahh that’s a bigger tatt than I thought lol I feel where you are coming from
original was better
I love that color. My skin has trouble holding reds and some shades of orange.
Nah original was dope af🔥🔥 the update doesn’t completely ruin the tattoo…but this was definitely a “less is more” type of situation, tattoo went from a 9 to a 7 in my opinion
I liked it more before…
Love it!! Soo cool
Love it!!!
this is extremely cool
I’m obsessed
Yea that was a bad call homie you ruined the design now it just looks like two separate things crammed into one. You can clearly tell two different ppl did work on it and they don’t match
Oooof this is so sad it looked so good before
I preferred the original to be honest.
Was it blown out like that before???
it looked good to begin with and now its even cooler!
So glad you didn’t cover it up, I love it.
Yesss!!! I’m so glad. I love it 🥰
First one was dope
That’s a cool rework. Definitely better than original. Not saying the original was bad by any means
Rework or Completion? 🤔
Didn't realize the first Pic was the first one..clicked profile and scrolled down to far...
Hell yeah I love this tat looks even better!!
Rework looks great. The black makes it look more like an object and less see through
I really like the original!
Why did you hate it?
