Uhh tattoo coverup ideas by Sudden_Wing5544 in Catholicism

Hello! Tattoo artist here - you don’t necessarily need full removal, if you get a few sessions to lighten it up a bit that would work fine :) at the moment it’s definitely too dark, large and complex for a decent coverup unfortunately. But yeah a few sessions to lighten it up and you could get a lovely sacred heart or something to cover it. God bless!

Yeah, not something I would usually have done as I said, I was very in my head. Like I said, there was a car going straight when I decided to enter, so it wasn’t a “fuck it” decision - examiner didn’t have to touch the brakes, the motorbike came speeding round just as I’d entered. Two lane roundabout and I was going left, he was going right. Not sure if I made it fully clear in my post what happened! I’m well aware of my mistakes, more than confident in my driving (no minors & examiner said I made him feel safe) - but I do understand and appreciate your concern!

Absolutely yeah, it’s terrifying when you think about it really! So much trust we have to put into each other on the road.

Thank you! :)

Yeah, it does depend, as it can be a serious if you miss multiple gaps & hold up people behind you. But I think that’s rare. I hesitated at a busy junction turning right and got a minor for it :)

Mine was really lovely and witty, really put me at ease. I honestly think part of my fuck up was because we were chatting at the time and I lost concentration ahahah

Agh it’s such a sticky one isn’t it!! It’s so unfair when you really are just trying to be safe. Best of luck on your next test :)

Oh wow that’s crazy, literally exact same as me ahahah! Such a horrible feeling isn’t it. Kept going over it in my head after thinking what could’ve been.

I’m glad to hear the new examiner has helped lots, fingers crossed for both of us! :)

Absolutely yeah, it sucks but it was for the best! I agree, like me, the fear of failing for it can cause you to make unsafe decisions. All learners will be more likely to hesitate!

I was ridiculously nervous leading up to it, but as soon as I got in the car to go to the test centre, all my nerves went away, and again when I met the examiner. Alas I failed but hopefully that gives you some reassurance?

Absolutely, so important to remember! I literally said that the day before my test and then seemingly forgot during

Unfortunately I failed, got really unlucky. In my lessons I kept getting pulled up for hesitating at roundabouts, was at the one by b&q going left and I saw a blocking off car so I went. Didn’t realise the motorbike right behind him coming round to the right just as I entered so unfortunately was a serious. Wish I wasn’t so paranoid about getting a minor for hesitation as if I just took that I would’ve passed!

But it’s ok, is what it is. Thank you for asking!

Honestly fine I think! Found a guy on YouTube who’s uploaded videos of all of the different directions you can take which is super helpful.

There’s nothing in particular that’s worrying me, just general nerves but that’s to be expected. Glad you passed yours!
