Thank you! It turned out even better than I had hoped. I'm liking this new, minimalist/fine-line, style. I see a trend on socials of people bragging about NOT having tattoos, the whole topic is being politicized. I kind of feel like it could be the beginning of the end of the golden age of body art. I hope not.
You're right, it's probably just learning the fundamentals and training the eye. I'd like to learn to do it myself because it'd be a whole lot cheaper! Lol. Thanks, I really hope it sells fast. We have a steep HOA fee in our building ($600/mo) so that'll be one of our only stumbling blocks to selling. One positive though is we'll be listing at $270K and the median home price in our area is around $340k so this will be in our favor.
I like the minimalist/fine line style too! Would definitely get something in it if I ever find or come up with one that resonates. Not having tattoos is now political? In which direction? What do tattoos say about us now? I'm out of the loop.
Hmm considering what an old, beautiful tradition it is, I doubt social media's gonna be the thing to eradicate it (thank goodness for that!).
Oh yeah, it sounds like quite a bargain. Especially with the house looking like that! :)
Sadly, there's a growing trend here in America of people on the right associating tattoos with being "woke". You couldn't make this up. This is especially true of women with tattoos. Anything that can be polarized pretty much is these days.
You really can't make this stuff up! Now that I think about it, I have noticed a trend for hipster/left-leaning types here to be more tattoo-y as well. I guess it makes sense, though I wonder how much of it is polarization of tattoos themselves as it's the need to belong to a side. As someone forced to lean more Conservative now myself, I do see a tendency to say "well, this is my side because we all need a side, and these are our colors (i.e. rejection of things like tattoos, piercings, crazy hair, all things more punk-y, alternative, or "woke"), so Imma wear them even if it grates".
Not gonna put me off tattoos, for sure, but I can see where that might come from...
I'm glad there are still some independent-minded people out there who don't fall for this particular brand of "all or nothing" tribalism. I can identify with opinions on both sides, although I find myself leaning more towards the conservative side than I ever have before.
