I have one. Not for everyone, same as tattoos in general. But I love it and it reminds me everyday my past and the abuse it came with didn't break me 💜
That's too emo. I am goth so not a fan. Also I think tattoos are pretty much worthless if everyone just has the same ones which if it's a well known thing you can bet many have it. It's kinda like how my bestfriend got a wolf one, I am just here like yeah but everyone and their mother has a wolf tattoo. But at least in a small way the wolves tattoos can be all different looks a semicolon is just that... even when they try to get clever with it. But also he is pretty much emo so that also explains his wolf tattoo. However tbh I am sure he would agree with my view on semicolon tatttoo.
I read this as more of “the idea” and the meaning behind it so everyone criticizing it’s look is missing the point. I like the idea of this tattoo because the meaning is rather nice, call it cringe, but mental health is important and holds value, I remember wanting one, does it look great? Eh. Is it cliche now? Yes. But if it’s something that holds a lot of sentiment then I won’t judge you if you have it.
My only question is why bother paying for something that looks like you had a Sharpie in your back pocket and accidentally brushed your arm over it? Besides, if you get tired of it Sharpie ink can be easily removed.
The meaning behind it is powerful, but the tattoo itself is cringe and so over done. I don’t believe in getting a tattoo that majority of other people have, where’s the specialty? There are so many other designs, UNIQUE designs, to tattoo that message onto your body without it being as generic as the semicolon.
It's a strong symbol. And those survivors who got it, I'm proud of them. And it's a reminder to other bearers that they're not alone fighting a battle.
I have Schizophrenia and have struggled with mental health for over a decade. Even then, I don't want this tattoo. Why do something everyone else is doing and getting a tattoo that all these Millennial/Gen Z girls have cuz it's trendy?
Dislike. For one thing, it would be very hard for people to even realize that this is supposed to be a semicolon. It looks like different things from different angles. For example, from the side, it looks like eyes winking. 😉
I think a period tattoo would represent me better. "A period is used when an author ends their sentence." The author is me and the sentence is my life.
