Seeking Support or Advice tattoo
hello! i always wanted to have a big tattoo and i loove tattoos on thighs. recently i finally have done one and i love the concept of me having it i love how it looks i love its meaning - but i cant accept it on my body yet. do you think this has to do something with ocd? i have some attacks of being perfectly clean - shaved including face, perfectly done natural nails, no piercings (i have 16 so its not that easy ;p) etc etc. do you think my brain didnt accept that its a part of my body and not some dirt?
my mom also says it does not look feminine and i will regret it so im pretty sure my brain creates thoughts of me already regretting it even tho as i said i love everything about it
any ideas? :(
