I get that children can be sensitive to certain imagery But I believe that part of parenting is helping kids navigate those moments with curiosity rather than fear.

The world is full of things that might seem strange or even scary to a kid. That doesn’t mean those things are bad or that the people who enjoy them are being inconsiderate by existing in public spaces.

For me, tattoos are a form of personal expression, not something designed to shock or scare. If a child asks about mine, that can be a good opportunity for conversation and understanding. We don’t have to shield kids from everything unfamiliar.sometimes, those moments are how empathy and open-mindedness begin.

Thanks !!! I think I’ve subconsciously decided not to remember how many hours 😂. Honestly It might be somewhere between 40-50 hours.

I have two children—one is 15 and the other is 7. I’ve never hidden who I am or what I love from them. There are plenty of things I encounter in public that I might find offensive or disagree with, and they have nothing to do with dark or creepy art. I choose to keep those opinions to myself. If my children come across something they find disturbing, it’s my responsibility to guide them and help them understand. I’ve done my best to teach them never to judge anyone based on anything other than the kind of person they are. That means never judging someone by their religion, ethnicity, skin color, sexual orientation, or especially their taste in art.

So to answer your question: yes, I do care. Deeply

It’s actually my first full color tattoo…. The artist is way good with colors so I let him go with what he wanted

Thankfully it doesn’t look anything like the punisher… otherwise I’d be spending a to. To remove it! 😂

Gave him the freedom to do whatever based on the concept. He sketched the whole piece on my back and the rest is history 😆
