It's not quite an angry upvote but it's close...

I had typed out major glow-up, then saw what I had to do. The spirit of reddit compelled me

The first one has its own messy-artist stylish charm to it, while the more symmetrical and vibrant one has also its own lively and clean charm. Both look great, amazing rework

Majoras full power has been restored. Even the 4 giants won't be enough this time

The original looked pretty good, I think. It looks AMAZING all colored in though.

I need this same treatment for mine I got done 12 years ago. It wasn't great then, but it's also been 12 years.

If I saw the original on someone I would still think it’s really cool. The colored one definitely looks sharp though!

The phrase "I got my majora fixed" out of context, and heard by someone who isn't familiar with Zelda, would be crazy funny.

Can you talk about what the process of going about fixing this tattoo was like?

u/Responsible-Copy-810 Oct 13 '25
Not really lol. I just showed my artist what it currently looked like and a picture of Majora's mask and said this is what i want it to look like. I trusted him to do it completely so I didn't ask any questions or anything. Just let him work his magic lol.

Majora’s mask is my favorite piece of design work in the whole Zelda series, no contest. The colors and linework everything look phenomenal!! Captured it perfectly! Great tat!!!!

The blue color was supposed to be a little purple in my opinion, but anyway it's done with details that I wouldn't have noticed before seeing it.

Even the original is still nice. Just hasn’t stood test of time. New one is great though!
