Living with a HAND Tattoo: ONE YEAR LATER | Pros & Cons + REACTIONS

Believe me, there were a lot of people on top of it, it always looks dirty to me, so it's been a little over a

year

since I went ahead and made the decision to go ahead and get a very visible stain

tattoo

ed on my body. Big decision in life that left many of my family and friends shocked, but mainly left my parents a little disappointed in me and questioning my future greatly. I have learned a lot in this first

year

of

tattoo

ing my

hand

and I will do it. I'll be talking about all of this and then I'll also mention some things to keep in mind when you're thinking about going ahead and getting a tattoo on your

hand

and finally we'll hear from my parents and a couple other people about how they feel. about my hand tattoo now that our year has passed so now let's ask the big question justin what has it been like to have and live with the hand tattoo for a full year and well the honest answer I have for you has It has been, it has been beautiful.

Great, honestly, I really love my hand tattoo guys, and I don't regret a thing. Honestly, I catch myself looking at it sometimes thinking, damn, this is my hand, this is my tattoo, so the first thing I like and honestly love about having this one. The tattoo on the hand has been the design we chose for more than a year. This is yes, a very common rose cathedral design that a lot of people use, but I rarely see a rose cathedral design on a hand tattoo, especially this one, so I feel like it just makes it that much more unique and the fact that that we go down and take it to the second knuckle and it has a gym glove look now makes it much more different and my eyes make it more special and something like that.

I love that because you don't really see it much. The next thing I really love about this hand tattoo is that it makes the entire sleeve I have look so much fuller and the way I was able to match it. In it it seems like it was there from the beginning and that was just part of the whole sleeve of the entire design. The next thing I really like about having this tattoo on my hand and what I've realized over the year is the fact that I never looked at it and said this is the wrong choice or I should have put something else there. , maybe I should have done this design instead, no, I haven't questioned this design, this tattoo even once since I had it and that's just a huge sense of relief in terms of not having any regrets.

I look at it every time I think no. This is exactly what needed to be there now. The next thing I enjoy is receiving praise. I understand it quite a bit. a lot and not the fact that you know it, obviously, you know, cheer up a little bit, you know confidence, a little bit more than anything, it's in an area that people

cons

ider a hindrance to work or you know too much, so people really see this tattoo. This area and really complementing it means a lot to me in terms of the area and the tattoo and the choice I made and how it looks overall now, the next thing I like and these were Brandon's words when he told me when I was getting my hand tattooed and it's just that you start to feel more like a tough, tough bad boy type with a tattoo on your hand and I didn't believe it until I had it and now, after you look back, I definitely agree. with it and you know who doesn't like to feel like that in some way sometimes so you know you will definitely feel like that if you have a tattoo on your hand but more than anything and the reason why I like it slash I love having a hand tattoo is that it's in such a visible place and you're not going to see any area other than your hands, so you can see this all the time and you can really appreciate it so much and that's the most important thing I can always look at.

Come down and say damn, that's amazing. Now I could add even more to this hand by bringing it down a little bit more to the fingers, so if you like the idea, go ahead and like the video and show me your support that way, so now. let's talk about some of my upsets that I've seen and I realize now that it's been a year and you guys are really going to want to pay close attention to these points, they'll be the last upsets you'll probably get into. and you realize when you go ahead and

cons

ider getting a tattoo on your hand, so pay close attention, so the first thing I don't like about having a tattoo on your hand is hearing these constant quotes over and over again, you know, what?

Aren't you worried about this? it's going to ruin your future job opportunities or you know people won't take you seriously now with a tattoo on your hand or you know that tattoo is going to look like a mess in a couple of years so it's like you know you hear things and once again they start to get a little annoying and you really have to start ignoring them as best you can, so that's something I don't really like, it's just hearing that constant over and over again, so another thing I don't like I have and this is kind of a war on the tattoo design that I have specifically and what I've noticed over the years is that people tend to confuse this with something more like a mandela or a geometric design and I understand that. completely.

Where people come from, I see for myself sometimes, but who likes to have the tattoo they have to be called something else. It feels like you're diminishing the tattoo a bit in some ways, although I completely understand them. This is one thing I don't like either, so another thing I don't like, this is probably one of the biggest ones I have in regards to hand tattoo. Now, looking back on the year, it's the fact that it takes a long time to get the hand to recover. Look how you wanted it to be now, if you do what I did in terms of full coverage like this, you might need two or three touch-ups and go under that needle with more pain and spend all that time again waiting to get to what you want. you want.

Watch before the ink sets well. If you do the top, it may only need a little touch up with your thumb, but you know it takes a long time to heal and then you also spend all that time looking at it for all those initial months thinking about it. it might look a little better and then have to go under the needle to add more ink until it looks how you want to look and where I am now, so now let's talk about my biggest aversion that I have towards a hand tattoo than I I've noticed over the year and it's the fact that I'm a lot more cautious and honestly a little afraid of using my hand for certain things before I got my hand tattooed, I did anything that put my hands on anything.

I wanted to hit them against things, I didn't care at all but now that I have the tattoo on my hand I am much more cautious in terms of what I do and yes I know I take things to the extreme and some may say over the top. but I want my tattoos to look as good as possible in 10 or 20 years and your hand will be beaten up more than any other area, it will be hit against things, you will scratch it, you will cut it, you will get hit by the sun. I've seen tattoos on hands that are sloppy and look like they've been there for a couple of years.

I don't want that for mine. Now there are a few more things I want to mention that I have realized from having a tattoo on my hand for the first year are strange and the

reactions

I would get from them. A lot of people love my hand tattoo. I think they appreciate quality more than anything. I get compliments all the time. I get people just asking about it. I love informing people about this and changing their minds about it, and if you're good at talking to people, it can act as a great conversation starter because someone will come up to you and ask you about it and then you can move on.

Quick conversation, you might be able to make a couple more friends from it. The next thing is in terms of job opportunities, at least for me, and where I am, in terms of where I work, people above me in positions that I can enter and work to have visible tattoos. I also have tattoos on my hands, so I don't see it being a problem for me to work and fill those positions as well, and what I really want to dedicate myself to in my future projects, I don't. I see that affects him too, so that name preventing the work he has, at least for me, doesn't seem to be a problem at all and the most important thing I've learned from tattooing my hand over the years is The fact Even though there haven't been any kind of negative side effects, I honestly see it as a positive because it's been able to create conversations with people you know, it's boosted my self-esteem a little bit more in terms of confidence.

You know yeah, it's nice to be complimented on the design that you have in terms of what you chose, what you did, in terms of you know all those people who say "Oh, that's a bad idea" and they actually compliment you. so you know it's been good in that sense, I haven't gotten any negative comments from a lot of people, at least that I know of, yes, I do get some compliments from people online who say they don't like it, but, one Again, you're not going to please everyone with the designs you use, so you know, I thought this was going to be a more negative thing for my life, but it's actually been a positive thing, so for anyone thinking about a tattoo on the hand, you know, as long as it fits your future goals, maybe think about it for yourself, but now let's listen to my parents and a couple of other people about how they looked at me and my tattoo now that it's been over of one year.

How do you feel about my hand tattoo after a year? The same way I felt when you received it, but you didn't care too much when I bought it. He always looks dirty, really yes, he looks dirty. It's been a year and I still don't agree with it. I shake a hand that is tattooed like this I feel uncomfortable because it feels dirty I think if you ask me the question in a year I will still have the same answer I don't agree with that okay you like it I think this It was a great choice and I'm happy to That he didn't listen to a lot of people because, believe me, there were a lot of people behind him thinking that it would prevent him from having opportunities at the beginning.

I'm not going to lie, I legitimately thought that. He had a glove on, that's what it looked like just because of the place where they cut it on his fingers, but you get used to a person, I don't care what people think in life, if it makes you happy, do it and I couldn't imagine it. . without it now it's what he wants and it's what makes him happy, so who cares, it's not so shocking anymore, I'm sure it was because that's how you knew it, he was used to you eventually having it up to here on your wrist .

You lose the reaction, right, you get used to the person as he evolves. Now I just see it as part of you. I want you to do me a favor and that is, if you enjoy me, enjoy the video, go ahead and subscribe, join the community. So you're here for my other hand when I do that
