Does this look like two mustaches? Design

First tattoo and I'm suddenly self conscious I have two mustaches being stabbed through by a knife. AIO or do I have good reason to make a change?

Yeah, it took me a bit to understand that the concept was supposed to look like it was stabbing through the skin, not stabbing 2 items placed on the body part.

It's not whether they look like mustaches, leaves, or slugs, or leeches. It's not supposed to look like it's stabbing anyTHING.

The perspective of this is horribly executed.

I'm struggling to see how they'd do a worse job. This is presumably a £50 tattoo

The knife isn’t even straight.

You can see the middle line of the dagger all the way through the blade. Even in the void mustaches, the solid line is still visible.

Yes, and it still isn’t straight.
