That combined with a good tattoo artistâs inputâŠyou can easily find something meaningful for you.
Itâs been a long time since Iâve posted, but I just got this the other day. Wanted a skull but something else kind of representing booze negatively. The artist came up with this and I loved it.
I didnât want a tattoo that was abvious to others that is is a sobriaty tattoo. I also didnât choose my sobriaty date because what if I relapse.
So I choose the Latin name of a small blue flower that is the name that represents a non drinker in the Netherlands. Hard to explain the whole story about it. Itâs called âde blauwe knoopâ in Dutch. When you do not drink here the older people here say " you are from the blauwe knoop". So I put the Latin version on my arm.
I love it because nobody knows what it means beside the people close by because I explained it.
So my advise will be to think trough if you want people to see your tattoo, so where to place it. And if so if you want it to be recognized as a recovery tattoo. If so, there is so mutch lovely ink to find on the web that does the trick.
And if not, be a bit creative like me
This is good thanks,its telling me to have a good think about it and not to just jump in and get the first one that catches my eye,it seems ive found myself a new mission that i can obcess and keep my mind occupied onâ:+1:t2:
This is awesome Jason. Love the imagery
Still sore and red but finally the last empty spot at my right arm is filled with ink too.
Now I have both of my arms fully covered and that was always at my wish list.
Another box ticked!

Couldnât have done all this while drinking because I couldnât afford it back then.
Beautiful work!
I love it Claudia⊠really lovely artwork and coloring
20/10 awesome, I love the wraparound effect on that also. Shinra is such an icon
My only one at this point, I have a few ideas for some others that I would like to get. One would be a frog wearing a wizard hat and another is a classically drawn chicken in a cowboy hat with a vest and little spurs.
Damn thats cool!
Congratulations!
Loving the tat and again what an amazing accomplishment Mrs. Badass
Yesterday I had my last tattoo session to get my fucked up tattoo fixed
This is how it looked more then 2 years ago:

And this is 2 years later. Had multiple laser sessions and another tattoo covered it.
Yesterday another tattoo artist did some final touch up and made me happy. The picture doesnât do it justice and itâs still sore and red. But I think within 2 weeks it will blend in perfect with the other ones

Iâm grateful
What a beautiful tribute to your soul dog! Sending healing vibes for your heart and new tattoo
That came out beautifully @SoberWalker!
I remember how disgusted you were. So much so that you wouldnât show us. Happy that you were able to get the lasers done and finally get what you wanted. Itâs been a long 2 years of fixing that fuck up but the results were worth it.
