I've been thinking about getting Eros one on upper arm/shoulder and Thanatos and the other arm/shoulder.. Just the Word

Eros- Life instinct = Love, Procreation, Win-Win, Peace and Cooperation and God

Thanatos- Death Instinct = hate, murder, game playing, War, devil

It's the whole Sigmund Freud Ego and the Id and how these two interact... Basically it comes down to Good Vs Evil.. I think this would be a pretty cool tattoo to get.. I have a big on on my back but I'm not HUGE on getting tattoos, but this idea popped up in my head a few months ago and I'm still debating it..

Hi, IneedHelp222!

So, what exactly is your question, please? Are you unsure about getting the tattoos? I'm only guessing here, because I don't know...

I have no problems with people that have tattoos. However, if you do have tattoos and want tattoos, I do want to advise you for your own sake, that unfortunately, but overall, we do live in a conformist world. How someone adorns themselves can affect how some people view them. These negative views can be in how a person is viewed for a potential job as well as in other areas.

A number of years ago, I decided to grow a very long ponytail involving most of my hair, that went down to about the center of my back. My daughter thought that is was great! The kids and other people at the inner-city school where I taught either didn't mind at all or thought that it was great! However, that's not necessarily what everyone else with whom I needed to associate in one way or another thought...

I was given this same admonition a number of years ago, by someone who was hiring me to do things for him. I just thought that I would share it with you, too.

Just some thoughts for you...

I wish for you only the best!

Thanks!
