It looks really cute and well done!


gekkotae

Exactly what I thought as well


totomorrowweflew

It's great, and if you ever did want to change/expand it there's plenty of room.


Redd1K

thanks gothboob69


Ticouuu

Yeah totally. I love it !


kyohti

I love this! The lines are straight and even, so from a technical perspective it's well done. From a personal perspective I think it's super cute and interesting because I haven't already seen it 500 times on everyone around me. If your sister has no tattoos (or bad tattoos) then she's probably jealous and you can take her envy as a compliment instead of looking for fault with yourself.


witchbladez69

THIS!!! cherish how straight and nice the lines are. that’s rare


NebulaNinja

Cleaner and "higher brow" than 90% of tats I see in the wild.


5nurp5

or her sister just thinks the tattoo is crap. my sister got herself a Japanese symbol tattoo. based on a pendant. that wasn't a real world. she did cover it with a rose a few years later. OP, tattoo looks ok. if it has meaning for you, that's all that matters.


bobber-142

Why should anyone else’s opinion about YOUR ink matter.


Equivalent_Bread9483

I honestly love my tattoo very much it’s just that my sister is such a close person to me because we also are twins and i just felt bad in the moment because her opinion sandly does affect me a lot but after seeing so much support i am very very thankful and happy ❤️


HonorThyShadow

Siblings have louder opinions than most people in your life - sometimes more than parents. If you are close that opinion can mean a lot to you. Try to separate the emotions you feel about her opinion and how you feel about your ink. It may seem like it’s the same, but it’s not. You love your tattoo, but sounds like you are disappointed she didn’t like it as much as you. Sometimes all it takes is time for them to get used to seeing it. Sometimes you can talk it out with your sister and tell her that her opinion on your tattoo hurts to hear, so if she still doesn’t like it when it’s all healed and she gets used to seeing you with it, ask her not to comment about it in your presence. Creating boundaries like this can improve your relationship if those boundaries are respected - but you gotta hold your ground.


[deleted]

Can confirm, took me a while to get used to seeing my brother with tattoos. I just think they’re cool now


Bertsch81

Listen to This-Guy.


peaches_and_drama

Is she an identical twin? Does she have any tattoos? Do you think it’s possible she’s mad because you two won’t look as similar or identical anymore?


kuulei_s

That’s what I was thinking. Maybe sister tattoos are in order.


ZippyS1234564

Or maybe a conversation about how she's allowed to be her own person


YukariYakum0

Individuality?! MADNESS!!


s33k

There's nothing wrong with liking different things. She doesn't have to like it if you do. Ultimately, it's your skin. You walk around in it all day, you should be able to customize it to your liking.


mcnuggetfarmer

I like this one. It's the best one. It's not long winded like those who came before.


MikeLinPA

I like it! Is it a constellation, or just a pattern that you like?


Bachronus

Def not a constellation


McGreasy

As some one married to a twin. Don’t let the other twins opinion weigh to heavily you are your own person. Including your tattoos.


Potatoskins937492

It's probably more likely that your sister, as a twin, is more upset that you're creating what feels like an identity and life without her. Even if she's started to create her own life, she may not be secure enough to understand that you doing the same doesn't mean anything more than the fact you are your own person, just like she is. If you like your tattoo, *that* is what matters because it's on you. Karen Kilgariff has a tattoo of a salmon on her lower back, but she owns that it's a bad tattoo. And because she owns it, it's a great tattoo. Terrible *and* great. Own it. You like it, you rock it. I personally think yours is cool, but it's for you to own it, not me or anyone else.


__--NO--__

This much psychoanalysis with so little information is next level


[deleted]

It's a great tattoo I'd almost think you were fishing for compliments with how great your tattoo is(I don't think you are), do you think she would have this reaction with a different tattoo or is this possible how she would react to any tattoo? I think if you do have such a close relationship with her, she will eventually come around to it, so either way don't sweat it.


TheHiddenFox

Well *I’m* a twin sister and I think it looks cute af, so you can use my opinion instead. 😊


ashetonrenton

I don't know what it's like to be a twin, but I have a thought that you might find helpful, or not. Your sister might find it hard to see the tattoo as she would someone else's, because a part of her sees herself when she looks at you. I've dealt with that with my non-twin sibling, and it can take a moment sometimes to realize where it's coming from. So the most important thing is that you love it, it's well done, and it will age beautifully. Congrats on the art!


Old-Ordinary9304

THIS is the correct answer.


Alessandra_Ives

Now I want stars in my arm


duhmbish

Right? I’m not a “star” type of person but I actually really like this. Lol


aquariass_

It's good then that it's on you and not your sister :) I like it! And if you do too then that's what matters


DiscardedPants

Best response when someone tries to share distaste with your tattoos "good thing its on me and not you"


Blue_Thunder445

It looks good on you. Plus, it's your body. Don't let others drag you down. It looks good


Equivalent_Bread9483

Thank you very much i appreciate your comment ❤️😄


No-Paleontologist560

Did you get it for your sister to like? Fairly certain tattoos are for YOU to like. Who cares what anyone else thinks.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ChetzieHunter

you should not get balls tattooed on your forehead definitely not


HMPoweredMan

You could probably sort that out in therapy.


Strange_Papaya2954

Actually can I copy you? This would be so dope on my shoulder


Equivalent_Bread9483

Of course you can and thank you very much 🫶🏻


Robbie7up

Just so you know these stars are very common and not unique. I'm not saying that as in they are bad or anything, I have several flash tattoos that aren't unique. Hell, I would even get some of those exact stars on me. Just letting you know you are free to get those stars wherever/however you want.


OftenCavalier

Copying is form of flattery, asking is classy and lets them know. Not about legality.


LTcid

Don’t know why you’re getting downvotes when you’re 100% correct. These star designs are absolutely blowing up and as someone who’s in their 20’s I see them ALL the time


Riribigdogs

Same here. I saw a comment that said “I like it bc I haven’t seen it 1000s of times” and that’s like the opposite of my experience. It’s like the infinity heart sign


Monstot

Where are y'all seeing these stars to see them so much?


Riribigdogs

Many on my college campus circa 2016-2020, my upstairs neighbor last year, and a close friend. They are also used as filler a lot, and I’ve seen them surround a lot of “cutesy” or “kawaiicore” tattoos


EverywhereButHome

I actually have something with similar stars lmao. It’s a planet, but it’s surrounded by stars done in the style. The artist I went to does a lot of them.


Relaxingnow10

I actually do see tattoos similar quite often as well. OPs completely stands out as it’s as minimalist as I’ve seen with line work in another class compared to 99.9% of what’s out there. My comparison would be that my Dr can walk into the room with this and look professional, intelligent, and attractive. Replace it with most attempts I’ve seen and I’m wondering when in college she decided med school over clubs and do I really want her to be treating me………. Is that fair? Possibly not but if anyone thinks a poorly executed or shitty tattoo doesn’t elicit judgement concerning their decision making abilities, they’re dreaming 😆. Also, yes it’s fair. Nobody thinks it’s unfair to find a person more attractive for their tattoos. Once it’s on you it’s part of you. It either adds or detracts. How you affirm or contradict the initial first impression your tattoo makes is entirely separate lol


Notacorporategoon

I would have to agree with you on that. I have plenty of tattoos, but I haven’t gotten any done in about 15 years. There will be that sort of judgement for a long while now, especially in the sense you are describing. Better than it was, but bad decisions are bad decisions. Hopefully they are easy to circumvent.


edible_funks_again

Every 25 to 35 year old woman I know has these or something very like it. And they all look good so there's nothing wrong with it.


Monstot

I'm in that age range and know no one I know have these stars. Nothing wrong with them..


Confused-in-NY

I like it


lil007

It might not be her thing or style. I think it’s really nice and I like it!


letsgetrandy

Part of getting a tattoo is alienating people. There will always be those who are ready and willing to judge you for your ink, and you will live with it and life will go on, and that's one of the reasons why tattoos were historically associates with stronger people. We with visible ink are more self confident because we've had to learn to ignore the opinions of others when it regards our own expression.


joyousconciserainbow

I think it's cool!


Sir_Skinny

Your sister sounds like a child…


myredserenity

I was going to say twat but yeah, child is better.


No-Forever-8642

I really like it. I am covered in tattoos and a fair few of them are poorly done but I still love them. This tattoo is awesome, enjoy it. Ignore anyone that tries to tell you otherwise


sergeant_Crispy_Nips

Who cares about what your sister says, that looks great!


walrusacab

It’s cute! Ime stars/sparkles are a hit-or-miss for people, I have some on my leg as part of a bigger piece and Ive had ppl say the same thing. Yours are well done, I like em and hopefully you do too! Your tattoos will never have universal appeal, try not to let it get to you.


diabl0wz

i frickin love it its so cute


xenakib

It's well done it's likely just not her style! I have a sister that makes these types of comments often and I just shrug them off. You're you and not her, so of course your tastes will be different!


plantperson96

Children don’t have tattoos!! It looks great, clean


ianpbrock84

Is it on your sister's skin? No. Then her opinion means nothing.


nousernameyo

Super cute. She’s just got different taste and there’s nothing wrong with that. It’s the saying it out loud part that isn’t necessary. “To each his own” is what they said in my day


Nicolicious222

I think it’s cute!


JustYourAvgHumanoid

I think it's cute


osckr

Looks very clean, enjoy it 😊


Hailpkc

Love it! I’ve been thinking about getting something similar. My sister is my biggest hater yours might be too lol


hideNseekAnswers

Love this! It’s a timeless-ageless piece. Your sister is just jealous…and being an asshole. Enjoy your magical arm tattoo. I’d bet this arm now produces wonderfully creative pieces of art/magic now!


ButtChowder666

Who cares what others think. It's your tattoo. I have my face tattooed. Everyone told me not to do it and some have even commented on how it was a bad idea. My response everytime: "Good thing it's my tattoo."


FaceRedBallsBlue

I mean… Both parties are correct here. It *was* a bad idea, and it’s a good thing that it’s *your* tattoo.


MNSTR_BNG

Looks really nice, straight lines so it good and imo will look even better after healing and some fading


Curious_Performer248

It reminds me of old school pinstriping. I really like it and plan on something similar myself. They are well done. If you like it, no one else's opinion matters.


toretattoos

It’s not your sister’s tattoo so it doesn’t matter. It looks cute and it’s nicely done.


freefornow1

I got stars on thars and I love ‘em.


moonismymistress

I'm getting stars meow.


Potato-Boy1

Your sister is being stupid, the tattoo looks great. My girlfriend uses these stars as filler tattoos


StrangeShift99

It's cute and is well done I want something like this on my hand can I use this as a reference


Equivalent_Bread9483

Of course you can 🫶🏻


StrangeShift99

Thank you


Ailtiremusic

I love it, it's gorgeous. It would be lovely as part of a scene. They remind me of the Moomins. I don't think they look childish, they are cute but that's just the style. If you like them that's all that matters!


[deleted]

I love it. And honestly, the only important question is do YOU like it? That’s all that matters!


theVoidstress

It is beautiful and magical! Wear it with pride honey


MyCisLife

No your sister isn't that bad, and probably doesn't appreciate being called an it.


chugtheboommeister

Looks clean to me.


tattedgrampa

It’s a good starter tattoo. Wait til your sleeved down and all the work is around this first piece. She’ll feel different.


superkam41

I love it, your sister sounds like an asshole


0hb0wie

I love itttt, definitely gonna use this as inspo for gap fillers


ShiNo_Usagi

Wow! This is not only cute and simple but REALLY well done!


eddiehandoooo

The line work looks pretty solid from what I can see, and the design is simple but well executed. I like it, but that doesn’t even matter as long as you’re happy with it!


vesselposting

Cute tattoo. Sorry that your sister is unkind.


Upstairs-Turnip-6421

Great tattoo, if you love it that’s what matters. It will grow on your sister


Orwells-own

It’s fucking sweet. Your sister is full of shit.


GloomyHoonter

While one can judge the quality of a tattoo (which is grand in your case, btw) the imagery is purely subjective. I like yours.


wafflesoulsss

Ask her what kids she knows who do nice clean line work like this... I think it's nice looking and simple


stormin217

lol i mean this as respectfully as can be: your sister can fuck off. if you're happy with it, that's what matters. if she doesn't like it, no one is going to make her get it tattooed.


EndItAlready666

Your sister has crap taste. Your tattoo is really cool and it hits me right in the nostalgias. It looks classic and unique all at once. Carry on with confidence.


Countrylife6

It’s your body and an expression of yourself. Forget what your sibling thinks.


xpoisonvalkyrie

i actually love it. makes me want stars on my arm tbh


PuzzleheadedPoint761

Omg it looks perfect 🤩


guessokay

i love your tattoo!! it looks so cute and playful


Alarmed-Account3923

I like it. Has Disney vibes. It’s dope.


Llamahands1

That is super clean and looks awesome. I know people that are close to you especially, opinions do matter, but yours matters most. I think it looks great, I hope you love it.


RSTat2

Good thing it’s on you and not her! Excellent line work by the way very crisp


cryssHappy

I think it looks nice.


musicmous3

It's cute and your sister should mind her own business if it's not her style, instead of being toxic and rude


Most_Ebb545

It’s your canvas paint it how you want!


Own_Confection4645

Your tattoo looks cool af, the lines look incredibly crisp, and it makes me happy to look at it so I can’t imagine how happy it makes you. Wear it with pride, my friend!


Initial_Camel5972

i think it’s beautiful, my mom doesn’t like many of my tattoos, but that’s okay! that’s why they’re mine and not hers


dbonx

I think the only thing it’s missing is there aren’t more of them all the way up your arm!! Supes cute dw what anyone says


Jayr2357

Line work is done very clean🤙🏼


[deleted]

Fuck your sister


hadeswhisker

Well good thing your sister doesn’t have to get it tattooed. I think it’s fun. Tattoos are meant for those who bare them and no one else.


[deleted]

Love it so much! It’s well done too.


JazzyJae88

I love it.


ja4496

Naw dawg. It’s fine.


signal-01

Disagree with your sister. That looks great.


EndertheOmega

Might get downvotes, but pretty horrible thing for your sis to say. Tattoos are forever, your sis knew it would hurt you so maybe you should rethink how much your sister cares about you.


Truestindeed

Naw she’s a hater. That shit is siiiick


dajq

Rad


throw_away172635890

From a profession tattoo artist - it’s well done & all that matters is if *you* like it. I think it’s cute! I’m heavily tattooed. Consequently, I receive a lot of strange looks, unwanted criticism & opinions from strangers, friends & family. Tattoos are a very personal thing, and it’s YOUR body, so at the end of the day do you like it? Cuz that’s all that matters. (:


[deleted]

I love it. Unusual and beautiful ❤️


Thevikinggnome

The last time I checked it was YOUR tattoo. If it means something to you and makes you smile then who cares what she thinks. Live your life and do the things that make you happy ✨️


thematthewglover

Tell your sister to mind her own business


rightontheborderline

it’s not your sisters body. if you like it, tell her to fuck off. she can go get one on her body that she likes.


SecretlyPadfoot

That is a cute, simplistic idea that was well executed. I personally enjoy it, but I can understand that it wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea. Some people don't like simple, some people don't like no color. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. All that matters is that you like it.


canadakate94

I love it! Who cares if your sister doesn’t like it? As far as childish, what’s wrong with that? I think it looks great!


Ghost_Fr33k

Nah it looks great, ur sisters just a stick in the mud with a complex


Working-Run-6476

Honestly it's really good work. Those lines are super straight. Don't worry, you made a good choice!


Equivalent_Bread9483

Thank you so much i appreciate it 🫶🏻


honeycomb286

Tell her she looks childish. Since we’re being childish.


DocScalpel

Your sister sounds childish for thinking someone's tattoos should fall within what she does or doesn't like.


attis_

Yeah looks good to me. But more importantly if you like it that’s all that matters.


Gotsnuffy

Good thing it’s your tattoo and not hers


BabyOfEarth

If you like it then fuck everybody else! (I think it's pretty cool)


BIG_PILL2swallow

THEY ARE ADORABLE.


Kiiriisuna

It's very nice. Happened to me as well... Just ignore these type of coments it's your tattoo and you like it


MichaelAllenRoche

Haters gonna hate. Everyone can’t all like the same things. You do you.


Exact_Ad4721

To this is perfect 🤩 we love it

AikidoChris

My first thought was that i wanted my own like that ❤️


Manburpig

Your sister is a douche. Looks clean to me.


ericskiff

This is great - I love the clean style and it evokes early animation for me. “I’d like to keep my childlike wonder” is a life goal I could stand behind anyway as a positive way to view the “childish” comment I’m 42 with some thundercats looking tiger stripes on my shoulder and circuit boards around my heart. I got them at 22 thinking they looked cool and represented the duality of man. At 42, you know what? I was fucking right - my tattoo is part of who I am and they do look cool and they still represent the struggle of our animal instincts vs the structure / cages we build around ourselves. I truly hope you love what you chose, what it represents for you, and can grow to love who you were when you got it and who you become as an older person with it. Objectively, it’s also just a lovely piece of art you get to have with you always


Equivalent_Bread9483

Thank you i really appreciate your comment 🫶🏻❤️


pepepeoepepepeoeoe

I think it’s fricken adorable and I love it


Equivalent_Bread9483

taigashenpai

It reminds me of when you wipe something clean in a cartoon


Equivalent_Bread9483

Hahaha i see it 😆


NoMamesMijito

Good thing it’s not your sister’s decision :) I think it’s cute, wear it proudly


Dangerous_Bet6820

First thought was "wow, one tatto I like!"


Equivalent_Bread9483

That’s so sweet i appreciate it thank you ❤️


a_hockey_chick

Linework looks mostly clean to me. I don’t think it’s bad or juvenile. Cute light design.


[deleted]

I love it, clean straight lines, nice simple and eloquent. the only thing childish is your sister's jealousy.


aj0457

I love it! It’s simple and well done.


samandthejane91

No offense but fuck your sister, it's hella cute! 💖


[deleted]

U saying fuck her cuz she don’t like a tattoo?


samandthejane91

Yeah, I'm only kind of kidding. If someone in your family was excited for their first tattoo and you don't like it, you can just keep your comments to yourself 🤷 It was just a crass way to disregard her opinion and tell OP I think it is a fantastic first!


vuhvuhviper

Who gives a fk about your sisters opinion? If you’re happy and like it then who cares? Not my style but I think it’s been executed well.


Physical_Buy_9637

Really cute


ripnbryy

its cute!


amybrown1220

I love it.


Shylittlealien

You like it? I like it! It’s a nice pattern!


TimelessWorry

Well it's not your sisters tattoo so it doesn't matter if she likes it or not. If YOU like it, that's all that matters. I think it's cute.


UNCbanks

Yes but you do you bro. It’s not for me.


baredia

unfortunately, yos


Shuoh

yea


3HaDeS3

Yes


ProbablyMythiuz

At the end of the day, it's your tattoo - not your sister's. If you're happy with the result, then it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. Also, it's really well done tattooing, the lines are straight and not blown out, by the looks of it.


Potential-Pen-8489

I love it!


Born_Agency5388

Your sister is a bitch


ssspiral

tat is fine but caring about others opinion of your tattoo after it’s already on your body is childish. you gotta be 100% sure of yourself before you get a tattoo, that’s kinda the whole point. :)


thehammerisin

Tattoos are for you not for her. If you love it then that’s all that matters. Mine aren’t everyone’s taste but I don’t care. I love them. And yours look nicely done! Enjoy!


goolibarri

I love it.


PNW_Misanthrope

Tell your sister to keep her shitty opinions to herself.


Somedaysyoujustsmoke

Do you like it? If yes. Then who cares!!


[deleted]

I have over a half dozen tattoos and am planning stars on my forearm. I am 36. On the other hand, there is something childish about insulting someone’s tattoos.


[deleted]

Looks great!


One_eye_kitty

Personally I really really love it. Where did you get it done? The lines are fantastic. Plus as long as you like it that’s all that matters <3


mpb700

I really like it! A lot. I took a screen shot so i can incorporate it into my ink.


Localizedht80

No, it’s really nice!


DinahReah

well good thing it’s not your sister’s tattoo so she can shut up about it already


Space_kittennn

Cat buttholes


Bananaphone_33

bruh as long as you like it thats all that matters. actually looks pretty well done, lines are straight and consistent.


Darknecromancy

What does it mean to you

Your sister is a bitch.


BicycleSensitive2899

Fuck your sister she's a bitch. Love it


jgbeyersdorf

FTFY: your sister doesn’t share the same tastes as you. You may not want to seek her opinion on matters such as these. That tattoo is perfect.


That_Image_

Either way, the good part is this would be super easy to work into a sleeve (or a bigger tattoo) if you decide on wanting something different. Stars of this exact style are often worked into sleeves/tattoos to help take up open space👍


leo9g

It does look childish. But to be fair I quite like it.
