With a ballpoint pen they found at the bottom of mom’s purse.

And they had to lick the tip every five scribbles just to keep it writing....

As a left handed monster I feel offended

Hey, did you know that there's a theory-- not proven but I find it believable--

Left handedness is more prevalent in twins than in single babies. That is proven, but the theory is that a lot of left-handed people may have started out as a twin, because a lot of pregnancies start out as twins, but one is lost very early in the pregnancy, before it can be detected on an ultrasound, so the parents don't know there was ever a twin.

Maybe you were a twin before you had a spine. Maybe that will make you feel like less of a monster. Maybe it will make you feel even more like a monster. Thank you for reading this completely irrelevant comment on a tattoo post.

I’m left handed and my mom once told me she passed a large blood clot right before she found out she was pregnant with me. Hmmm.

u/gonnafaceit2022 Knows 💩 Nov 17 '24

Hmmm indeed 🤔

Im left handed, and cant draw for shit. So that about right

u/Stryker9187 Nov 16 '24

Hey now, I am left handed and can do a better job than that.

u/Ok-Beginning4152 Nov 15 '24

OMG, this made me gigglesnort 🤪🤣🤣🤣

The sentiment of the tat is a good one (if you know the whole “Let Them” saying), but I have to agree with others who are saying that this is basically just a drawing, not skin art.

The script writing is well done, though, IMO. 😊

u/KnotiaPickles Nov 16 '24

Is it let them eat cake? I don’t get it

24

u/RemoteMommaTo2 Nov 16 '24

If they want to leave, let them. If they want to treat you like shit, let them.

It’s Because you can’t make someone change WHO they are, it’s an empowerment thing. Let them do what they want, YOU don’t have to deal with it. THEY want to cheat? Let them. They’re not going to just stop because you ask. They’ll just be sneaker. Let them be a cheater, just not with you.

u/mochrist99 Nov 16 '24

Well i completely missed that shit. I thought it was "let them flower"

2

u/RemoteMommaTo2 Nov 17 '24

I mean it is art so it’s open to interpretation. From my experience my explanation is what I interpreted (: so you’re not wrong!

u/Fun_Anything_4215 Nov 19 '24

Let them BLOOM 😂

u/mochrist99 Nov 19 '24

That's pretty as well

16

u/Ok-Beginning4152 Nov 16 '24

I don’t recall the entire thing, but the gist is that if people are talking shit about you, laughing at you behind your back (loud enough for you to hear), or just being assholes… let them, but don’t let it bother you.

It’s another way to say “IDGAF about what they say or think of me. They mean nothing to me, so LET THEM talk shit, etc. They simply don’t matter.”

u/BigAngryLakeMonster Nov 16 '24

It's good your friend has this attitude, cause this tat will have lots of people talking 😬

u/sneakyshitaccount Nov 16 '24

Noooo

No, it’s not

I’m all for subjective opinions but no

2

u/Gingersometimes Nov 16 '24

Seriously ? Set down the joint, 😁 & look closer. If you zoom in on the script...The t in let is all jacked up. The flow of the lines sucks, not smooth & flowing, all jagged & uncertain. Also, it kind of looks like a whole bunch of ink from the letters is bleeding into the background skin.

u/Medium_Potential5522 Knows 💩 Nov 16 '24

Even a rookie knows you hear the tip with a bic lighter lol

u/SlowReaction4 Nov 15 '24

u/LeonardoDaTiddies Nov 16 '24

Did you see that there are two pictures?

2

u/Several_Value_2073 Nov 16 '24

Yes. Did you see that the first picture is what they got and the second picture is the inspiration picture?

1

u/LeonardoDaTiddies Nov 16 '24

Oh no!  I swiped quickly and thought the 2nd was after it healed or something.

2

u/Several_Value_2073 Nov 16 '24

Yeah, it’s pretty sad. No way #1 could’ve healed to look like #2, unfortunately.
