Would b/g trads fit into this?
So I fucked up, got my first tattoo in a place the whole world would tell you not to (wrist + hand). Everyone tells me that the tattoo itself looks great, I cannot enjoy it the way I thought in giving me a symbol which has meaning for me. I suffer huge regrets and I cannot comprehend how I could let this happen. But this is not what I'm here for.
Now I obviously consider how I continue with this. I learned to like trad tattoos. Before I found them somehow bland but I can appreciate them now and think trad sleeves look rad.
Now my question: since I got this now do you think it would look totally off to fit black trads up my arm? Would it clash with this style or do you think it could look good?
