This is my first arm tattoo. Fine line cross with my children's birth flowers. It's been 3 weeks now.
recently got a tattoo that means a lot to me personally. It’s a cross, and while it may not be “perfect” to everyone else, I loved it when I got it because of what it represents to me.
The first thing my aunt said when she saw it was that I should’ve gone to someone else because the cross looked crooked. No “do you like it?” or “does it make you happy?” — just immediate criticism. And honestly, it kind of crushed me because I was excited to show her.
Now I can’t stop staring at it and overanalyzing every tiny detail because of that comment. I know tattoos are art and no tattoo is going to be mathematically perfect, especially on skin, but her reaction really got in my head.
I’m posting pictures because I genuinely want outside opinions. Am I overthinking this? Has anyone else had someone ruin their excitement over a tattoo with one comment?
I will post immediately after the pic and 3 plus week pics.
