    Yeah look, theres a vertical strip of blue on the skull going straight down from a wonky edge of the tear which aligns with where the blue is on the flag. Also, the skulls eye socket covers where some of the red might have been in between.

      thanks for the downvote, but you are wrong and this is too trivial to explain, just look at the ridges of untatooed skin

        I have no idea what you’re on about. At the top of the largest piece of the earlier tattoo, there’s a ridge where it flares out, and at the base of that, it splits red on the left with blue on the right.

        On the new tattoo, at that same ridge, there’s white on the left, and the exact same blue on the right.

        Below the eye socket in the skull, the blue under that would be color matched and added, since that part of the original was red. At the same time, since they had to at least try to color match it, they may have touched up the upper part of the blue (above the eye socket), but it’s hard to tell.

        The white balance in these pictures doesn’t match, so the colors are all over the place and it’s hard to tell if they’re the same hue.

        Either way, on both, the blue line above the eye on the final tattoo does align with the blue present in the original tattoo.

        I dunno if you’re trying to say something else, but it’s clear as day if you reference the other edges of the piece, to align everything.

          I get what you’re saying, man! And it looks like the white star under that ridge be omes the white strip to the right of the blue one.

          Dumb tattoo, but good work on the artist’s part

            I agree, excellent artistry.

            This falls under, awful taste but great execution.

            I both like it and I hate it. 🎉
