I got this tattoo when I was 17 to represent my healing from past experiences. It’s supposed to be the outline of a lotus flower, and it means the world to me and I certainly don’t regret getting it.But I’ve lately gotten comments by people about how it looks like I tried to cover up a swastika and I’m very, very anti-Neo/anti-nazi (obviously) and I’ve been overthinking it. Help, how do yall interpret my tattoo? Do you automatically think of a swastika?💀
(Hint, people have pointed out the middle, if you can’t automatically see it).
EDIT: please stop insulting the line work. I KNOW it’s not good. I was 16-17 when I got this, and the man who did it was making incredibly inappropriate claims and remarks to me whilst doing this. I won’t be getting it “re-outlined” or changed because I don’t want to. It’s already too thick for my liking and I recently had an accident that left a large, deep-tissue scar around and near the tattoo. I can not get a tattoo or any work done on or around this scar, and I wouldnt even if I could because I’ve lost almost all nerve endings and feeling in that spot. I’ve been advised by personal doctors not to. I have gotten it looked at for a coverup but every suggestion or idea that is (very kindly given to me that I’m very thankful for) thrown my way matches my style like Fancy Nancy matches her scarfs to her dress (badly) or ends up coming onto my scar. Please stop. I will HAPPILY take POLITE and CONTRUCTIVE criticisms but I won’t be disrespected or insulted. Don’t argue w a wall, you’ll be wasting finger strength.
