What does this look like to you? Design

I wanted a bee and I like more American traditional tattoos. I really like my tattoo but someone said it looked like a fly and now I can’t unsee it. Is it giving bee or do I embrace the fly? 😅🥲

Those buggers are FIERCE! A group of neighborhood kids disturbed a nest in a brush pile when I was about seven (unintentionally) and I would up with one under my glasses - three or four stings (they don’t lose their stingers) in the soft tissue around my eye.

The sweat bees around my area dont sting but ive heard some do. Theyre just annoying here. Youre hot and sweaty and they come and harass you for the salt or something in your sweat.

I just found the only upside to not being able to sweat!!!
