What modern tape ever comes off with all that glue they put on the back?
The glue is just there to rip the tape when you take it off so you can't reuse it.
Looks unfinished for me.

The perfect finish is where you can see the perfectly trimmed end of the bar tape peeking out from beneath the finishing tape.....

Yep, crap bar taping is definitely not the sign of a connoisseur.

I was speaking in reference to the comment on wrapping bars without tape. I do agree the best looking finish is the one pictured above by btompkins.
