Tattoo help

in Late Term and Child Loss

A few months after Jack died, DH and I got tattoo's in honor of Jack. What would have been his nursery was decorated in a classic Pooh theme, and there is a long list of reason why we decided to get Pooh as part of the tattoo. 4 years after I got it, I realized that I don't like the way it turned out. The link is for a picture of the tattoo

 I don't like how his name turned out, and Pooh looks funny--kind of lumpy and bumpy. It's on my inner left wrist.

Can anyone give me suggestions on what I can do to improve this?

I have other tattoos that I have come to regret, and I could care less about those. But considering this tat is in honor of my little boy..I want it to shine.

    I probably would have it touched up - maybe you could ask around and find an artist with a great reputation.  Then I would go in and show them the tattoo and ask them what they would recommend.  I don't know how you feel about color, but you could also add some color to it...my guess is that if they added color, they could reshape Pooh.  (I've never had a tattoo touched up, so I don't know for sure, but that would be my guess.)  I love the meaning behind the tattoo.

    Find an artist that can handle detail, then have him cover Jacks name with a tree-  pooh is standing by it, just like he often is in the books. You can have him add a heart with Jack's name in it to the tree- like it was carved in. I think it would be just beautiful.

    I love it, changed or not- it is a sweet tribute to your little man.

    This is an adorable idea!  I do like the tattoo and the meaning behind it.  Pooh has always been my favorite.  Pooh looks "easy" to fix with the right artist.  But I really do like the tree, heart, carved name idea.

    I have to agree with PP.  I would find someone who can fix it or just change it around some for you.
