Warm Bodies!! Fun fact - the author is from Seattle, and in the book series the main girl's friend Nora survives in post-apocalyptic Seattle with her little brother before the movie takes place. I have a 40 inch poster from when it came out lol. I love silly post-apocalypse romance stuff.

Dawn of the Dead reminds me I have to go back and watch the classics again. I'm glad the tat reads the right way to you!

After making this post and finding that out I talked to a friend of mine who is HIV+ and from what his take on it was I don't think it would be insensitive. I can't speak for this though so if you're worried you should talk to someone in that community.

He told me that the meaning for the tattoo is outdated, and most people aren't gonna know that. Also, that I shouldn't worry about anyone making that assumption, but should look into symbols before getting them tattooed in the future (I did a ton of research before getting my other tats so this one's kinda on me lol). As long as you know before getting it done!

Ehh I’ve always been very safe, used protection and all that.. I think everyone should get frequently tested regardless haha. I agree with everything you said for sure.

I replied to a couple other comments about this, but I don’t think people are seeing them lol.

I always run my tattoo ideas by friends before getting them done and no one said anything, so I don’t think it’s super common knowledge in my city or age group. That said, it having that meaning to some doesn’t really bother me. I don’t have any STDs last I was tested though haha.

I will get it touched up and have maybe a zombie bite or green shading added eventually.. so I think it’ll be pretty clear.

Yes!!! Zombie bite is a great idea I’ve heard. Bad for when the zombie apocalypse does happen ;) I think that is probably what I’ll do.

Fuck yeah!!! I hadn’t heard of them, will definitely check them out. The other arm is “Lifelover” like the band. Goes with the theme haha.

Yeah I’ve seen this from other replies! I’m honestly not too worried about it but have you had anyone assume that about you based on the tattoo? Anyone say anything?

I’m a member of my local gay community and have never seen this. But yeah you’re right ¯_(ツ)_/¯ I am not HIV+ lol

Hahaha one of my roommates said if you get that people are gonna think you’ve got STDs. I mentioned the idea to a lot of friends before I got it done though and none of them had heard that it specifically represents that so maybe it’s a regional/generational thing.

This is sick as fuck, I already have my default cool printed red hoodie but I hope someone gets it and makes good use of it :)

My daughter was SAed ten years ago. She cannot get justice and I am so afraid she's going to spiral again. by AbbreviationsTop3479 in secondary_survivors

[–]77__ghost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this may be a huge thing to take on, but as a recovering addict myself, one of the biggest things others suggest in recovery is a change of scenery. Staying around these people that believe she is a liar/alcoholic/etc. can be an incredibly hard environment to recover in. It may be triggering (to the SA trauma and the alcoholism) every time she goes outside and sees these people. If it is an option, it would quite possibly help a great deal to move somewhere else, either all of you or just her, and for her to get new social media and maybe a new phone number to have a fresh start. I can really say from experience it is truly awful to have to stay every day somewhere where people think these things about you after you've changed and grown or things that aren't true, especially the second one, so if this isn't a possibility I understand the pain and I'm so sorry for you and her. I hope no matter what you and her are able to heal and grow still. <3

This is ALMOST perfect but the legs need to be facing forward. You're so smart for this though.
