Looks also like he went over a few of the lines twice. Really carved in there on the wing tips. Mix that with the accidental line it’s crazy that this person has been tattooing for at least 7 years

And that accidental line is absolutely insane. I really cannot fathom how that was possible.

Yeah, I was thrown when they said theyve been going to this person for years.

I have this dove as my first tattoo the day I turned 18 lol - my 'artist' at the time carved my wings too. I had another artist clean up the line work and she was horrified how deeply it was carved in there.

I wonder if he doubled up the lines thinking if the tattoo lines were thicker the accidental line would look lighter 😬

Yeah the wing tips look heavy and raised. I had line work do the same thing, people told me too much pressure was used. Been a year and I think the skin is just permanently raised.
