This was exactly what happened to me when I posted my cute tattoo of a caterpillar playing saxophone in the r/Jazz subreddit and I was massacred for being a poser, I was having a bad day already and the backlash to my post was so unexpected I deleted it and left the community, I’m not ashamed of my tattoo or anything, I was just too sensitive and anxious about my own life to be roasted about such a small thing by strangers (and they were validating each other in the replies) I was confused, how do that people could not realize what a weird reaction they were having to such a small thing… funny thing is I haven’t listen to jazz ever since
Don’t let those weirdos discourage you from a beautiful art form such as jazz. They’ll have a rude awakening once they have to communicate in real life with people or stay festering in a Reddit hellhole.
Thank you for the kind words, I saw you were interested in seeing the tattoo so here you go, those were the exact same pictures I posted on reddit, it was done by a professional using the stick and poke technique, so there was no machine involved, hope you like my little jazzy caterpillar!
