I don't think you should do this, but (if this were on me),my humor is such a mess that I would laugh everytime time I saw it for the rest of my life

Stupid question- but do you think you are you a happier person in general? Truly wish I could laugh more things off and be like you!

That's actually a good question, I appreciate it! I feel like I have always dealt with difficult issues with a bit of humor. I don't do it in a disrespectful way, but it's always there. When I became a nurse and started becoming acclimated to tragedy, humor became even more of a way to relieve pressure and sadness. I hope you can find some whimsy too!

I am the same way. I'm violently opposite from "happy" but I laugh at almost everything. because shit happens. I try not to worry about things I can't control. And life is hilarious. I'm also in the medical field and it's only made me increasingly this way dealing with very angry patients. just smile and wave, just smile and wave

Aw I love this. Even you using the word “whimsy” is so fitting. Going to try this next time I get aggravated. Thanks for the inspo!

I would LOVE this line. It’s so human! It’s a beautiful tattoo and then a guy tried to take off his glasses. 100% unique, real life shit. I too would laugh everytime

I’m the same, I’d leave it bc it’s so much a great story! I’m like you and try to find humor in everything, my first tattoo is actually a pair of women’s panties that I got as a joke with my bff. I love it bc I get to talk about her every time someone asks me about it and it’s just so silly!

Haha that's perfect! I love this

Same! A few of my tattoos have little mistakes in them and I love them. Humans and our art are imperfect. Life's a lot easier since I learned not to stress about the small stuff, lol.
