I am just worried that you are rushing into this far too quickly, and will end up not liking it any more because you’ve gone for something you don’t really want. Just be sure it’s truly what you want before going through with it. Monday can wait indefinitely if it means the difference between being certain and being on the…

Is that really what you want?

I don’t see any other choice really. I don’t want to do a coverup because I don’t want any other tattoos, but I can’t leave it looking the way it does. Originally I thought the only way I could represent molecules was the way they currently look, but I found other ways, so that if I shaded…[Read more]

I agree to an extent… I think they can have an effect on us to some degree…

Making a decision like this is hard to do when you’re not into color or are into too many colors, not one scheme in particular. I don’t want a rainbow tattoo.. hah.

Ha I like those!

I think the watercolor is beautiful. I’m into purples and blues.. but what I’ve researched, there’s not much relation with those colors to anxiety. “Green” is the color of the anxiety awareness ribbon, but honestly green would be the last color I’d do… it reminds me of grass. lol.

I see red linked to anxiety the most…. it’s…[Read more]

My leg has lizards and plant life. It will morph into an aquarium / undersea theme as it wraps up my right side. I never thought about oysters until peter’s comment.
Oysters or scallops could be interesting. Hell, I’m already planning a lobster.

My fiance would LOVE that! He works two jobs; one with exotic reptiles and the…[Read more]

I think an oyster tattoo may be viable. Have it open exposing a pearl. Perhaps a black pearl at that.

Oh no thank you! lol. I want to fix it first, or try… I’m not good thinking of tattoos when they don’t have any specific meaning to me.. I would love a half sleeve, but I don’t think I could ever come up with enough…[Read more]

Gosh I love ya’ll. 😀 Thank you! I’ll see if I can find something…. If not, back to high school I go. Lol.

Get it covered with this

Oh BTW Barb you don’t look squishy to me.

Oh man, hahaha. That’s great. I would like to try and fix it first.. I’ll cover it if all else fails. Now I just have to find out if shading in a molecule will change it.. If anybody else is checking out this thread and knows where I could possibly find…[Read more]

I’m surely thinking about it. I just don’t know what to cover it up with.. lol :confused: .. grr.

Thanks for all of the input everyone.. I went into a well known shop earlier today, and they told me it was totally fixable. However, I don’t want it to end up being a big blob.. so now I have to decide whether not coloring it in will do more harm than good, or if I should just relocate the tattoo, or cover it and re-incorporate it into the fix. I…[Read more]

I was actually talking to a friend who mentioned touching up the lines and coloring it in, but I’m pretty sure that would change what the molecules represent and would defeat the entire meaning behind it.

If I had to get it covered and put somewhere else I would, even though I have absolutely no idea what I would cover it with.

The thing that’s…[Read more]
