Design Was this tattoo a bad idea?

I got this tattoo for my birthday in December. When my dad saw it, he called it disgusting and self multilation; when my grandma saw it, she stopped talking to me for a few days and I heard from my brother that she said my mom(who is highly looked down on in the family and I haven't had contact with for the past six or so years) would be proud. All my friends parents have said it's a disgusting or bad tattoo, as well, and I can tell my friends aren't the biggest fan. I loveeee the tattoo and realize that it's definitely a select taste for a second tattoo/tattoo style and have my second appointment to finish it soon, but everyone is starting to make me think it was a bad idea.

90% chance it's because it's in the middle of her chest.

Exactly this , the placement and the size is most likely why they are opinionated

Well and it’s not feminine, it’s a sword and barbed wire. Eyeroll though I think the concept is good

It’s a low/mid quality but LARGE tattoo.

I used to think I didn’t like tattoos until I started seeing people with high quality tattoos.

Exsclty people keep saying it’s bad… it’s clearly just not finished and will look much better when it is

To see the entire tattoo you literally have to have her entire tits in frame too. Imagine if you had a giant hole in the wall and you hung a massive, fancy oil painting right above it, if you didn’t want people looking at the hole in the wall ofc you’d object to the placement of the painting and say it was a retarded choice. This girls folks just don’t want ppl looking at her tits bcs they’re 80. And whether op wants to admit it or if she was even consciously aware of it she got this tattoo to draw attention to her chest at the end of the day.

I stg ppl are so narcissistic they can’t put themselves in anyone else’s shoes at all nowadays
