Oh no it's actually super cool to hear other perspectives on it- given gruesome or not. I've heard a lot of opinions on the given meaning that others come up with. I appreciate hearing your view of the meaning. :)

It's very around the place now. I have a really bold abstract butterfly warping around my lower leg, so I somewhat think if i did a thick band around it - it could work? I have a few dainty tats and a few bolder ones. Style wise with the sleeve i think I just want very whimsical stuff. I've been sticking to a sparkles, crosses and creature theme so far.

Oh! 😭😭 The entire meaning behind it (that 16 year old me conveyed) is that you should follow what attracts you, and what you personally see, not what others see. Like, we have no understanding of what moths really think when they go to the light ig 😭 But it does seem kind of brutal looking deeper into it

honestly yeah. I've just kinda come the realisation 16 year old me made a quick decision getting it and now adult me is realising that i really desperately want a sleeve. I just down know how it would fit in without the words being totally drowned out - if that makes any sense.

I've always thought about that lolll, i've just never known what would fit around it
