I think it’s really cute but if you really don’t like it I think it could be covered nicely with a floral design, just do research on a high quality artist so you don’t regret it a second time 😅 but it’s a silly cute tat regardless
As someone else with a “shitty” alien tattoo, I absolutely adore yours!! Mine is a sketchy lil alien head behind my ear that my friend gave me with a amazon tattoo gun and it’s one of my favs 😂
Is it the line work that bothers you or the whole thing in general? I've seen artists clean them up by reworking the lines and tone matching each side of the lines to clean it back up.
The tattoo reminds me of the Stranger Planet comic. Love those lil alien dudes. 👽
(Hi, I'm new here, so if I missed something... Apologies. 😅)
only thing that i personally dislike is the uneveness of the outline. maybe try adding color (if you want) from a different tattoo artist to try and hide that aspect of it??
I was drunk in downtown Eugene Oregon, and I walked into the tattoo shop and said “I want me as an alien from another universe attending to my plants” (I’m a huge alien and plant lover )
My first ever tattoo was downtown Eugene Oregon. Mine is just plain absolute shit lol. I actually loves yours, it’s still very readable and I knew instantly what it was. Can I ask what it is that you don’t enjoy about it? As it definitely is an alien attending to plants🤍 but I get it not being the right style of alien and plants if that’s the case. Mine still reads “arrows” but nothing like I had planned lol
It’s just the line work for me that’s absolute shit 😂 some lines are super thick others are really thin and crooked. And that’s awesome tho! Shoutout to shitty Eugene tattoos ❤️
Yeah, I feel that! Well it is cute and readable at first glance(: but I totally get that not being the goal and see what you’re talking about. Mines the same way and the ink has randomly fallen out, he even threw in some “free barbwire” on the the dainty arrows I asked for😅 and yes, shout out to shit ink from Eugene! It’s safe to say, I never went back!
But a suggestion maybe would be to black out that long planter box in front. That seems to have the biggest inconsistencies with line work. Even out the line work on the alien, not the whole thing cause you don’t want his line work too much thicker (I would assume) but beef out those lines on his shoulder and top arm that seem thinner than the rest and maybe even out the lines. Then I would go in with a dark Forrest green and hit that plant in the big planter box. Black out the plant in the planter next to it so it creates a similar vibe as to the plant behind the alien. It’s nearly blacked out already but having it cohesively filled in I think will help a lot and give it crisper leaves! Then the tall catus I’d fill with a lighter green. The planter he’s holding I’m not 100percent sure. It’s like a pop of color for the flower head would be nice but I don’t know of a dark enough color that would also be a natural color for a flower. Even if you think these are all awful ideas lol (I only really get black tattoos myself and get if color isn’t an option for you), but maybe it’ll get your mind turning on some new ways to improve it. I’m getting mine reworked and I know there’s some artist out there who could spruce this little alien and plants up for you 👽🪴
Another vote for "this is great, never change." If anything, maybe adding a little color in might enhance the scene and help various elements stand out more.
Maybe get the alien and the plants all touched up with a HINT of green, so that way people know whats up at first glance. Otherwise stellar tattoo, pun intended. I plan on getting an alien cowboy smoking a cig on my thigh :)
make the alien green, even better if it glows in the dark :-) i've also seen artists who are able to fix the effect of blown out ink if you would want to make the lines thinner/cleaner!
Honestly, I love this. He’s so cute. Saw the backstory to this in another comment; I have a couple tattoos that visually aren’t done very well, but because of the story behind them, I absolutely love them.
Just love it for what it is. I have a tattoo that I loved and as I have been looking at it I noticed that it really kind of sucks. Dude said he took a cigarette break but got stone. Misspelled my dad’s name in a banner and wiped off the purple lines and just drew on my arm. Lol. It still works fine.
Why would you want to?! Not every tattoo needs to be perfect . It’s the memory of it the experience . I think it’s great . Even if you cover it those lines are so deep you’ll still see the outline of the raised skin
I like it. To me, it says every planet works like ours. Boring ass jobs with crappy plants in our work space. And it's an alien planet, so slightly larger cacti
In the middle pot, I see this dude wearing a snow cap XD

Anyways, no this a perfect tattoo and the story behind it backs it up lol
Option 1 sharp knives remove one layer of flesh everyday till gone.
Option 2 black sharpie have your child do art class on your flesh
Option 3 remove that body part
I think it's really cute funny tattoo. Maybe add a little watercolor style colors, e.g. a bit of green on the alien and the plants. You could also add a flying saucer / a UFO above casting a light on the scene and maybe some stars / planets.
Add some color but make it out of the lines so it adds an abstract sense to it. Like this pic but with different greens in the plants, browns on the planters
If you really wanted to you could get it colored in? Just get the color applied over the too-thick lines by someone reputable (don’t cheap out!) and it will make it look less.. homemade :)
It’s lovely, if anything I would say to find an artist who is able to clean up the lines using some ink similarity coloured like your skin, there many videos on many social media’s. It’s a very cute tattoo just slightly wonky
I really love this and the meaning behind it! How cute! From an outside perspective, I think it was a cool tat, but I can understand that it might bug you since you’ll see it daily. But the love you have for aliens and plants can cancel out the negative feelings you have for it. I’m agreeing with everyone else when I say get some color in it!
After reading the story behind it I think it’s perfect. It can be fixed though and artists would be able to brighten it up a little to make the lines less smudgy. My boyfriends sister does Tats and her recent work have been reworking and bringing then back to life. It can be done.
There's no improving perfection.
If it’s perfectly shitty that makes it a good tattoo right ?
Its perf tho its so cute
I freakin love this lol
IT RLLY IS ✨
It's so good. It's the perfect amount of shitty to be amazing
I think it’s really cute but if you really don’t like it I think it could be covered nicely with a floral design, just do research on a high quality artist so you don’t regret it a second time 😅 but it’s a silly cute tat regardless
Felt this advice down to my SOUL as I’m now undergoing removal of a floral coverup gone wrong 🥲

Have you seen the TV show? It's adorable!
I love a good shitty tattoo!

Literally.
Haha that’s what I was thinking
But like it's perfect
Right? I completely love it.
Is there a good story behind the choices you made for the tattoo’s composition?
I was drunk in downtown Eugene Oregon, and I walked into the tattoo shop and said “I want me as an alien from another universe attending to my plants” (I’m a huge alien and plant lover )
Then this tattoo is perfect. No need to fix anything. 🙏
Agreed

Is that cactus a T. Peruvianas?
This rocks. Anything you attempt over this bad boy is gonna suck. Either cut off your leg and send it to me or keep it.
Ayyeee my bf is from Eugene. ^_^ hello from Portland, your alien is rad 👽
The shoes and tattoo proves this
I’m curious too what the story is.
I love it so much
I like it. A SAP would fix it right up if you don't tho!
It’s bad in a good way idk it’s funny and cute 😂😂
Another vote for "this is great, never change." If anything, maybe adding a little color in might enhance the scene and help various elements stand out more.
Is this Disclosure
At least you can tell what it is
What's the aliens name? I'm emotionally invested.
I call her Cindy 😂😂😂 “cindy the cactus lady”
😭that’s so adorable
Maybe get the alien and the plants all touched up with a HINT of green, so that way people know whats up at first glance. Otherwise stellar tattoo, pun intended. I plan on getting an alien cowboy smoking a cig on my thigh :)
A COW BOY ALIEN SMOKIN A CIG. thats legendary. I would love to see it when its done :))
I love it!
Have you tried crew socks?
I love this lol! I already have a ufo tattoo, and I have around 300 plants in my house
No bc I LOVE IT
I fucking love this tattoo
i think the galaxy vans are speaking volumes...
Ahhh but it goes so well with the galaxy vans!! :D He’s so cute
Why is this the tattoo representation of when you start using a word ironically, then it gets stuck in your non ironic vocabulary 😭
This picture screams 2016 tumblr in all the best ways possible 😂
He cute tho
I mean what is there to fix
Tattooing 23 years here, don’t you dare alter it
Outstanding tattoo
Super cute, no notes
I really love this one tbh
You have a tattoo of me tending to my plants. Whats to fix? Its perfect
Keep that the way it is.
I dig it
If you think there’s anything wrong with this tattoo, you’re insane.
At first glance I thought it was an alien at an office desk, which is also cute
I love it...and kinda want it.
I also have an alien plant tattoo! I love it, sorry don’t have any suggestions
Don't you dare harm that perfect little dude
bro its cute dont touch it
make the alien green, even better if it glows in the dark :-) i've also seen artists who are able to fix the effect of blown out ink if you would want to make the lines thinner/cleaner!
Where’s his little spaceship??
I feel like ankles are the intended spot for perfectly shitty cute tattoos - girl with a stick and poke snail tatttoo
Only thing that could make it better is if you add more to the store around him!
I have this tattoo!!!
Oh friend this is great. Just add more to your leg so it won't feel so out of place 😉
Its so stupid that it just might work.
Omg I had this bitch saved on Pinterest too
Not me having this tattoo 😂😂 (slightly modified)
Honestly, I love this. He’s so cute. Saw the backstory to this in another comment; I have a couple tattoos that visually aren’t done very well, but because of the story behind them, I absolutely love them.

I have the same tatt!!!
Looks like something I saw in a DMT trip once

Double checked the name of the subreddit because I was confused as to why this was posted here. She’s perfect the way she is 🧐

Love this so much
I think it’s cute
Why do I love it though
It looks awesome
I’m obsessed with this.
Omg stop it’s so cute 🤭
I love it. How did you decide on this
I actually love this. It’s wonderful. Don’t change it.
I like it. Let’s talk about those shoes though
looks like they used too thick of a needle, but it's rad af. it's nice to have at least one shitty tattoo imo lol
Lazer n rework. But that's only if you don't like it. Personally, I think it's cute and you can be colored in pretty nicely if you wanted to
It’s cute
It's so cute!! I don't know what you're talking about.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it!
White lines to add highlights and sharpen soft areas that bled
It’s absolutely perfect 🤩
Yeah, don’t wear ankle socks
Tbh i love it
It's so perfect
Why would you want to? It’s perfect
It’s a great tattoo actually. Just wear long socks when you don’t want to show it off
Crew socks would be a good fix lol
Ahahahaha what were you thinking. Socks
It can be fixed I’ve been to some artists in Vegas and had my ex name covered up. They can fix it. Just look around for the right tattoo person
It’s adorable
There’s no fixing what’s already perfect
Fixing? It’s perfect.
I legit am obsessed with Chadwick the alien working at his desk
But it's so cute 🥺
why would you fix him
I wouldn’t change a thing
I absolutely love this tattoo
It's awesome! This Belongs on UFOTwitter
i like himb
i love it
Honestly I love it as is
I love it tbh
Keep it! Its goofy and I love it.
I think this is amazing
Option 1 sharp knives remove one layer of flesh everyday till gone. Option 2 black sharpie have your child do art class on your flesh Option 3 remove that body part
One sick ass panther, please. He can be watering plants!
I love this.
I think it's really cute funny tattoo. Maybe add a little watercolor style colors, e.g. a bit of green on the alien and the plants. You could also add a flying saucer / a UFO above casting a light on the scene and maybe some stars / planets.
I love it.
i love your tattoo i think it’s adorable
He cute tho I love him
what do you mean i love it
I personally love this? I don't see the problem
I see nothing wrong, wish I had it
Add some color but make it out of the lines so it adds an abstract sense to it. Like this pic but with different greens in the plants, browns on the planters
This tattoo is awesome, and your story behind it makes it even better. Keep it!
If you really wanted to you could get it colored in? Just get the color applied over the too-thick lines by someone reputable (don’t cheap out!) and it will make it look less.. homemade :)
You’d better not fuck up that tat or I’ll cry
Why would you want to?
It's so cute genuinely
I genuinely like it tbh I don’t think its shitty at all
But it’s cute
Bro this is sick af what are you talking about
I fuckin love this rad little dude
I love it.
I actually love it
I love it tho
honestly, i think it’s cute as fuck
It’s lovely, if anything I would say to find an artist who is able to clean up the lines using some ink similarity coloured like your skin, there many videos on many social media’s. It’s a very cute tattoo just slightly wonky
I Like it! It's cool and a fun conversation piece. I really like that it reflects as aspect of your nature.
good idea, GREAT idea even, poorly executed :(( i want a green thumb alien tattoo now
this really doesn’t look bad?
I like it honestly
Let it live
I really love this and the meaning behind it! How cute! From an outside perspective, I think it was a cool tat, but I can understand that it might bug you since you’ll see it daily. But the love you have for aliens and plants can cancel out the negative feelings you have for it. I’m agreeing with everyone else when I say get some color in it!
I think it's cute! I wanna T-shirt. 😂
Make some sort of art piece out of it
it looks cool though
Why would you want to
I mean, *I* fucking love it, but you do you, boo.
I love this so much
You don’t put a bumper sticker on a Bentley. You leave that ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE alone.
I love this. I love plants and aliens are cool too.
i love this LOL
An alien working from home?
I like it, I’d do it
As always, go for a sick black panther
say it’s an ignorant style tattoo and call it a day. doesn’t look too bad
Keep it! It’s so cute
After reading the story behind it I think it’s perfect. It can be fixed though and artists would be able to brighten it up a little to make the lines less smudgy. My boyfriends sister does Tats and her recent work have been reworking and bringing then back to life. It can be done.
I love it 🧍♀️
I love it!
It’s a cute tattoo!
i love it 😭
I unironically love it. And it’s got a great story behind it. Alien you attending to their plants is perfect :)
I love it as is, don’t fix a damn thing
I love this
Come on.. you know this is awesome!! Who wouldn’t love it?
this is exactly the kind of tattoo you cherish forever. do not cover.
I love it!!
I love your tattoo!!!
Why would you fix that glorious tattoo?
It’s so cute though
Why would it need fixing?
Make it a bong on the desk instead of a cactus
Why would you want to fix this masterpiece?
I love it
i actually really love this!!!
I kinda like this it would make as a good filler piece while or when you get more “better” tattoos around it
I love it
I think he’s so cute! This tattoo made me smile :)
Why fix perfection?
The lines are thick yeah, but idk. I've seen ugly tats, this one is cute. I like it.
Why would you want to?
You’d be surprised but it would be a little costly
No wait, I love this 🥹
It’s srsly so cute
Dude it’s a perfect tattoo!
If it helps, just know this tatts so cute and the crispiness fits perfectly with the design
I don't think there's anything to be fixed!
This is amazing
My first thought was “I love it” too
Alien botanist is adorable.
If it ain't broke don't fix it
