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 |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
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.

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.

What do you guys think of something like this? Planning putting something like this on my forearm. Not this one specifically but something similar.
I'm not an inkie, not because I'm against it but because I've never had anything meaningful enough to have permanently put on my body. These tattoos are done in Jerusalem by a tattoo shop that has been open for literally hundreds of years. The wooden object next to them has been used to tattoo pilgrims to the Holy Land in that time period. It seems pretty cool to get the same tattoo that people hundreds of years ago did. |
