Advice Needed: What should I do with this tattoo I had to cut short?

It was going to be a intricate lil strawberry with a cute human face and retro sparkles scattered about. Now idk, i feel like it needs to be just line art due to my pain tolerance. I dont want to laser it off.

Basically I started a new medicine, which i will not disclose, and it turned a simple tattoo appt into a panic attack and I had to cut the visit short. I felt so bad for the guy, and he felt so bad for me he didn't want to charge me but I tipped him anyhow.

I am off of this medication now. It was not the right fit for me.

I just need y'all to brainstorm with me. What could I turn this unfinished business into? I'm afraid of doing anything too grand lol

Is there a group simply for sharing finished custom embroidery pieces?

Like Facebook, or anywhere. I love digitizing, starting with a blank screen, manually pathing and creating something really cool with my machine after the fact. I love the whole process from start to finish, and I'd like to find some space to share my work. Not to sell anything, just to "show and tell" really lol. Ive thought about starting a blog? Not really sure what my best option is, besides r/machine_embroidery and the like.

Collecting my lucky stars 💫

Dreamt up, designed, manually digitized, stitched, and styled by me. 15k stitches on a thrifted $3 faux leather bag. The brooch was like $24.99 I think but it makes the WHOLE thang.

I love doing custom work.

balenciaga could never

in hindsight i would've lessened the density of the text, and made it a tad bit bigger, as it's sinking a lil. wasn't at home with my camera-enabled machine, so placement was fun too. but overall, the words didn't punch themselves out of the bag and placement is alright so i am happy with my stupid purse lol

I am SO full of happy nostalgic feelings. I hope the code works.

I literally can't breathe with this absolute steal for $2.99. Says internet explorer 6 on the tag. If it hasn't been redeemed. How not????

Molly (Big Comfy Couch) was always right there.

Wanted to surprise my Big Comfy Couch fan sister with some serious nostalgia, so I digitized and embroidered this bag to put her new Molly in. I used printable htv for the couch pattern, and scored the doll off of Depop! She loves this show, and lost her original doll long ago.

She loved it 🤡💕

Digital Render (Wilcom) VS Stitch Out: Hibiscus

digitized an embroidery file to give away as a freebie for an email promo i did for work. making files and watching them come to fruition is so satisfying. 😌

This was an exercise to reduce the trim count in my work. This piece was 50k stitches, 38 trims. Still working on it! Not looking to promote myself, mostly wanting critiques and tips to improve.

This is the first run of a design I dreamt of a few nights ago, put together and digitized. Plan to stitch it on a solid white faux leather purse after fixing some pull comp errors and some of the outlining. I'm just now noticing one of the tiger's toe beans are missing as well!

I don't know what the whole thing means, really. Imma leave it up to interpretation. Just as life goes I guess.
