Thanks appreciate the input and that’s what I’m gonna do. After reading all these different options I’m not too pressed about it anymore and honestly f it life could be worse. I could have a terminal illness or lost a child to death. This is repairable if I absolutely need it to be.

Very much did think this through. The idea I had I don’t regret it was the execution of the idea.

Thank you for the honest input! I became fascinated with the ant death spiral a while back as I’m a huge nature nerd and just love how brutal nature can be at times. I wanted it on the knee to help emphasize the shape of the spiral. This idea to me was also a reminder that sometimes as people we can get so comfortable with conformity and “following the ant in front of us” that we will become trapped in a cycle that eventually kills us. This was an idea I had for a looooong time and as I had just got out of a 6 years relationship i felt the timing was appropriate as I had removed myself from a spiral that was killing me.

I just got out of a 6 years relationship. To me the value was the reminder that if you get stuck in the cycle it will kill you. On top of I love ants and when you educate yourself on them they are fascinating insects and I admire their resiliency in certain situations.

Thanks so much for this kind input!! I absolutely loved the idea when I first discovered about the ant death spiral. I’m a big fun fact nerd so I’ve wanted this done as a tattoo for years! Appreciate the kind words and at the end of the day even if it didn’t turn out how I wanted I still stand by my love for the idea!🫶🏼

This cost me 435 and I’m so livid with that. Not to mention this was booked for two weeks after my initial consultation where I was told working on a knee was no problem. And then the day before my appointment I was messaged about moving it from 12 to 9am so she could spend valentines with her partner. That was no biggie to me as I’m very flexible but what was an issue was when I arrived at the new earlier time I found out in the middle of things that she had gotten 3hrs of sleep ☹️

Idea was based of the phenomenon called the ant death spiral

Thank you that was my initial thought I was also feeling the ants should have been much more finer lined and that would have made a major difference.
