tattoo ideas that reflect certain personality aspects?

Try not to put these kinds of thought into tattoos. You must remember you are going to get older, and feel very differently then. Try to put a more positive spin by looking to better times to come.

In other words, don't play up the negative now with ink, try to ink something that looks to a positive future. Just my opinion.

<<Tattoo ideas that reflect certain personality aspects? -depression/anxiety -self-isolation -addiction

-battling your demons>>

Why do you want to celebrate those qualities, with tattoos especially?

<<no religious symbols, i was raised on the lie of catholicism until i was old enough to know better and turn my back.>>

If you think you "know better" then you're not 'old enough'.

Besides, if the "qualities" you listed above describe yourself, how can you be sure you know better than anyone about anything? Just sayin'.

Seriously, Catholicism has been around for more than 2,000 years, with over one billion believers in the world today. Suddenly, after all that time, you come along and "know better"?

<<However, id accept any anti-theistic ideas.>>

In the interest of "knowing better", you haven't considered the future at all. There may, in fact, come a day in which you are no longer depressed/anxious, isolated, or addicted. You may even become a believer someday.

You're going to be sorry you got those tattoos.

<<My addiction (heroin, painkillers) roots from my severe anxiety and depression, and i have come close to ending it all many times (not attention seeking) but ive learned over the many attempts, that i dont have the balls to follow through with it due to my fear of what comes after. Funny thing is i still fear hell more than anything considering i have no belief in god anymore, but thats an example of the **** that sticks with you when you are raised in a harcore catholic environment. Ideas?>>

Yeah - your fear of hell has nothing to do with anything that "sticks with you when raised Catholic", as if you can't choose to reject it.

The Truth is, deep down you acknowledge the very real likelihood that there probably is a place like hell in the afterlife. While you may not want to admit it in your conscious mind, your subconscious KNOWS hell is there.

If only you were a believer, you would KNOW that you could acknowledge the existence of hell without having to fear it.

<<My chemical inbalance is permanent and will continue to **** with me unless i shoot or blow it away, i dont look forward to a positive future. I want a tattoo that expresses me, not a lie.>>

But you're looking to your future.

If I have been you i might bypass with a phoenix tattoo, no longer basically are they appealing, they represent rebirth and by no potential giving up. A phoenix lives an prolonged time and then lays an egg, it bursts into flames after that's reborn persistently, it lives continuously. A phoenix is a great metaphor for overcoming hardships in existence and exhibiting which you will stay longer than them and be much extra suitable for it. desire this facilitates :)

Therapy.

I mean that in the most sincere, caring, nonjudgmental way possible. :]
