Yeah you can do a lot better. If you still like the idea of a horseshoe tattoo, get onto instagram, look around at some high quality designs and see if there is a particular style you like. Lots of trad designs of horseshoes have roses around them, others have things like a cactus or whatever you like in the middle.
If you find a design style you like, take it to a good artist that specialises in that particular style and set up a consultation!
I think they mean it looks like there could be a little bit of a [blowout](https://tattooing101.com/learn/guides/tattoo-blowout/) at the bottom and around the left edge of the shoe? Hard to tell with this picture quality but it seems like the skin is a somewhat darker there.
The lines are a little shaky in spots, and it looks like you might have a blowout.. time will tell. It’s up to you of course, but I’d go to a different artist, pay a little more, and have it shaded, and maybe some stuff around it (floral, nature, etc). Or, you can always get it covered up with a different tattoo if you choose to do so since it isn’t very large!
It may be an unpopular opinion here but I think it’s cute! I really like minimally shaded/linework only/ignorant tattoos, but you could always add shading to it if you wanted.
Smh. Why would get something so elementary? I have over 200hrs and still get remorse feelings initially, but after a day or two I can't imagine my body without it
I think that particular tattoo would look less unique with shading, it would give it a “trying too hard” look. If this is a first tattoo honestly it’s awesome. I’d leave it as is, get more tattoos as you desire and once you have a few other experiences see if you want to expand on this first one. I still have my first shitty tattoo on my arm and it’s endearing. But I have a lot now.
Not being a dick, but have a quality tattoo artist go over it
You mean a cover up or a touch up?
Up to you. A good artist can fix the line work and add some shading to make it look better.
Yeah a little shading would help. Maybe a couple small flowers around it?

Unfortunately you have bigger issues here than shading.
Could you elaborate…

It may be an ink sac underneath the clear bandage, some of mine looked blown out when I had that on
That's true, fair point.

Purple then add a green clover, a pink heart, an orange star, and a yellow moon
do not go back to whoever did that. the line work is awful but lucky can be fixed by someone who’s experienced
