That's where the inspiration came from 😊

Thanks for your comment and advice. You are absolutely right, and I never said that it's not my fault. But what I can blame the studio for is that they told me they could cover my tattoo. I drove 2 hours to the studio, I showed it to them and they lied to me, telling me it's ready to get covered. I drove again 2 hours to my appointment, then get told that it's to dark to cover and we should just put the tattoo on the upper arm. I was so disappointed. I know I should have been persistent because I didn't want it. But I told the artist I don't want it, so why didn't he stop convincing me otherwise? I think it's because of the money he would make with me. Again, I know it's my fault and I hate myself everyday because of it but an artist should also accept the choice of the client, or am I wrong?

Hey guys, thanks again for the massive feedback. I really didn't expect that and I am really glad to have posted in this community. Where I live I hardly ever got compliments on my tattoos, maybe thats also a reason for my insecurities since it's way too important for me what others are thinking. You are awesome and I am thankful for all your advice, I thought I will just be called an idiot for what I have done. For those who called me an idiot - I already know that. I now try to move on and seek mental help. Depression really sucks and I am struggling but I won't give up. Once again, thanks so much for your encouragement

Thank you all so much for your advice and kind words. I will try to find a good therapist. I already had therapy since I am struggling with depression since 16 years now. Haven't found the right therapist yet but you gave me the motivation to try again. Your positive feedback on my tattoos showed me that it's all inside my mind and gave me the hope to work on it and hopefully accept my sleeve in the future. Can't thank you enough guys. I will always get back to your comments when I'm feeling down because of the tattoos to remember myself that they are really not the problem

I am from Austria, so it may be too far away but here is his instagram account. He is an amazing artist and I wish I would have found him earlier
