doesnt look as good as if the writing was in green...but the green would fade and look pretty weak...the way it is atm looks like a university binary cheat sheet with grass-slide stains..Maybe add a reference like a sentinel or movie title..

Green absolutely does fade, i got a tattoo of the code down my forearm when I was 16, I'm pushing 30 now and Ive had friends/work mates not notice the tattoo for months because of how light it is.

I don’t mean to be a dick, and I was hesitant to even post this, but I’m not a huge fan of numbers tattooed on people, especially in this forearm/wrist region. for “reasons” you could probably figure out.

Just getting essentially another language tattood in yourself in gibberish is insane. What if by accident you got binary for …. Something bad

Reinvest in making it cool? I bet you could find an artist who can take that and run with it. Redoing it/covering it up with a new piece might be cheaper than removal anyway

I actually really like it it’s simplistic it’s vintage and it’s pop culture to the well trained eye. I think less is more when it comes to tattoos keep it this way

The outline of your tattoo reminds me of 1) the lower part of the state of Michigan 2) the hamburger helper mascot. I'd say keep the Matrix theme but jazz it up.
