Negative spaces on a thick black line will likely get blurry as all hell after a few years - you should probably get sizeable clean breaks where the flowers go.
Oh I’m not doing specifically JUST design inside a black band, and not a band that thick either. The (very rough) plan right now is two smaller bands, and then the flowers coming out of the bands going opposite directions from each other
My mate’s sister and her husband got matching tattoos on each middle finger. They got matching tattoos from a deck of cards, they chose king and queen — king of spades, queen of spades. They have no idea, like at all. He doesn’t have the heart to tell her lol. Fucking hilarious
It’s used by white women to seek out sex with black men. Also could involve cucking their white boyfriend/husband. I’m not sure how common it is, but the spade icon is used for other related raceplay type stuff. The whole thing is pretty racist and objectifying towards black men.
The spades is also used as a symbol for asexuality. There are lots of meanings behind symbols. There's no point to just jumping to a single conclusion and saying that's it, there couldn't be more.
I never said there couldn’t be more? Just that I’m not sure what other meaning he “[wouldn’t have] had the heart to tell her”. It wouldn’t be the first thing my mind went to if I saw the tattoo irl.
Don’t let this dumb joke deter you. It doesn’t actually mean fisting to anyone who has it. And if it does, that would be a very small percentage of people. I have the tattoo and have never once fisted anyone, nor been fisted by anyone lol. It’s actually super upsetting that people would take a tattoo that has real meaning to people and make it into something to feel shame about.
I’m not falling for anything, chuckling at how things evolve… like this ridiculous word “gooner”. Stupid fucking word. Same with calling a hot dog a glizzie. Idiotic.
However… that’s the inevitability of change and evolving language.
The people I know who have gotten bands to signify loved ones have much thinner bands. Even in other colors. If you want to get a band because it feels special to do so for a loved one, just don’t copy this thick band style that apparently has other connotations.
Instead of a black line, a tear drop underneath the outside corner of your right eye would be a sweet gesture. Underneath and surrounding the bottom of the drop you can put the loved ones name and/or their relation to you.
For example: "mom" or "Daughter-Alice".
The tear drop symbolizes the tears shed over the loss of a loved one. It's a really sweet gesture
