You chose a crappy generic computer font, which the guy then stenciled onto your at arm and made permanent. Griping now is like printing something in Times New Roman and then complaining it lacks calligraphic merit. It looks exactly like you stuck your arm in an inkjet printer. What the hell did you expect?
You could have worried the balls off a brass monkey with all the stink you raised over getting correct the wording of the message in a language you haven't a clue about and in characters which are mere chicken scratch to you.... but as far as I can tell it seems you gave not a single thought to what this thing was going to look like.
I could have told you before you did it that it was going to look like crap. When you get Japanese/kanji tattoos from people who didn't grow up surrounded by the characters and learning them from childhood, they're going to either look like a mockery of Japanese/kanji or they're going to be artless stencils of computer fonts.
If you had asked the guy to freehand the tattoo, you would have room to gripe about his skills. You chose a stenciled tattoo instead. The guy's artistic ability or lack of artistic ability doesn't enter into it. He did a fine job stenciling that artless testimonial to humans' boundless capacity to think up bad ideas.
I hope your warts get better. At least they'll draw attention away from that horrible, stoopid tattoo, so they're not all bad....
What's the name of the parlor that did it? Do they have a website?
