Friend roasted my tattoo, have never fully recovered
I got these forearm rings two years ago. Right after I got it, one of my friends absolutely tore it to pieces, telling me it looked like a five year old did it, told me it was the dumbest thing I could’ve gotten, why didn’t I just get a butterfly or something etc etc etc. (he has no tattoos for context)
Our friendship ended that night because literally what the fuck but ever since then I’ve had the nagging question that maybe it looks terrible to other people. I thought it was well done, the artist was extremely steady and specialized in fine line and geometric and I did a lot of research on finding the artist.
But it was my first tattoo and he was the first one to see it and I deflated so hard right away and I guess I never really bounced back. Also does not help that I’ve struggled with ocd and body dysmorphia my entire life so it’s difficult to trust my own perceptions.
So, idk, what do we think? Does it look like a shitty five year old drawing? Or is he still just living rent free in my head?
