Sorry but it’s not a good job,looks trashy and I would certainly question your testimony over it.

Agreed. I regret all of mine. As a fine artist now, I see there are much better and safer ways to express how I'm feeling. I was in a dark place then. I've been new tattoo free for 10 years with zero plans of ever getting another.

I suffered from very very serious depression and self hatred. I was borderline suicidal. My past isn't something anyone would want to here about, especially since I'm a female. Being introduced to firearms and being taught how to use them literally saved my life. I was able to escape.

I speak as an inky with two quite visible pieces...not gonna lie that’s a pretty tacky design. I’d personally get something more stylized. That sort of bland not-quite-photorealistic realism will probably age poorly.
The examples below are what I mean by “stylized.” I’m not saying you should get anything like these; they’re just examples of stylized crusader themed tats. Maybe try to find some 15th century art depicting a crusader and work off of that. Attached File Attached File |

I quit reading at transitioning, but figured if your outing your self here I should wish you luck OP.

I'm still working on the rough design for my first tattoo. Been thinking about it for a few months now... Not sure where it will be put. But I plan on it not being visible at work, not that they take issues with that.

Quoted:
I have very large prominent face tattoos, I have worked as a tattoo artist and in the medical field. I strongly feel that there is a self worth/image component to this psychologically. I have suffered abuse all my life, and had very little self esteem and worth. I used tattoos as a societally acceptable form of self mutilation and pain. Cutting was unacceptable. I later started running piercing needles through my lips and cheeks, and from there began breaking my own bones. I'm now left with the reminder of my pain as tattoos and scars. I hate them and wish I could afford to remove the ones in my face more than anything. I'm happily married working as a fine artist and show my work in galleries in Tampa and Orlando. View Quote |

Perhaps to someone who lacks the mental acuity and attention to nuance to distinguish between carefully thought out and executed pieces and pieces acquired when blackout drunk on a bachelor party road trip.

I like the general design but it has some weird mess ups in the design.

Quoted: In my experience, it's generally trashy people that want to engage in tattoo talk, but it does happen. I've never once engaged anyone in it because I don't care about others ink. That said, it's no different than trashy people talking to you about your truck; Fudds talking to open carry Fudds, etc. You just smile, say have a good day, and move on. View Quote |

Quoted:
I’ve only ever had one person not a friend/family member say anything about it. Cashier at a Jimmy Johns I frequent also has tattoos and noticed it was new. I was honestly expecting more people to try to talk to me but I’m pleasantly surprised. View Quote |

Never do anything that might limit your future opportunities. Not by your standard but by others.

Quoted:
I'd venture a guess that you're not a believer so I imagine this is wasted on you, but the pharisees did quite the opposite; they tried to trap Christ in the minutia of Levitical law and he reprimanded them in no uncertain terms for it. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:
