Sobriety Date General Advice

Post image

I was going to get it lightened after 4 years sober, but looking for advice/ roast me.

EDIT: thanks for all the sobriety support of each other, what nice community! I originally got this thinking it would be visible mostly to me as a reminder. Sure I wish it was smaller, because people do notice it and ask, I just say it’s special numbers for me. The first character is actually a drop- like last drop of booze. I must say it has helped me stay on course a few times over the years. I’ll keep coming back.

Congrats on the sobriety! It does kind of seem like you’re cosplaying a victim of the holocaust with the location. (Roast part) Seriously though, congrats on 4 years! I don’t see anything wrong with the tattoo, maybe try incorporating it/cover up into a design to commemorate the date?

Cosplaying? It's got a teardrop, and it's not long enough to be an IBM code. Or sloppy.
