I've had a beard since I could grow one. Probably around 17. I've shaved it off once in 20 years; bad idea all around.

I haven't trimmed it since October, so it's pleasantly out of control right now. I use LUSH American Cream conditioner on it to keep it nice and soft.

Dude that is the same way i am...the couple times i have shaved i immediately grew that shit back. i will never be sans beard again. i just don't feel normal without a beard. is that weird that i hate myself without my facial hair? hahah

I hate hearing friends say "I think I'm going to grow a beard". I think you either have a beard or you don't.

In fairness I shaved to get my throat tattooed, so at least there was a reason for it.

i'll have to check that conditioner out. might be a nice treat for Jackson on his birthday.

I love bearded men! hmmm i think i need a bumper sticker that says that! i have always thought beards were really attractive! i have this one really good friend who grows the best, most lush looking beard ive ever seen and if it wasnt for the small fact that hes gay, we probably would have been together.

every winter i pretend to grow a beard. it's more of an attempt to keep the ladies away. i'm 28, and this is the best i can do after 3 months!

Sometimes it's the thought that counts! And you definitely want to chase off the ladies that don't like beards, anyway. When I first got my nose pierced in 1988 on the East coast, there were actually people who judged me by it. I always felt like they were doing me a huge favor, letting me know that they were small minded and that I didn't need to pursue any type of friendship.

Yep even with the few tattoos I do have, I sometimes get the same reaction from people and I have the same feeling of would I really want to have a friendship with someone that can only see my tattoos?

    • Hello, not new to getting tattoos, but always like opinions on design, color, etc, and that's basically why I'm here. Reddit is horrid. Anyway, yes I'm just here to comment on other tattoos and get some nonbiased opinions on my own.
    • Thanks. And u just made me laugh, I guess my comment sounded conceded, and I did not mean to sound that way. I guess I'm in freak out mode because it's so on display. I don't think anything will ever meet my expectations because of where it is. So on display. My friend is actually going to my tattoo guy BECAUSE of this tattoo. Removal is not an option. I wont do that. I do have crippling anxiety due to having multiple sclerosis. I'm overly critical of this tattoo. The design is a sun with sun rays  that wraps around and up over my shoulder and a lotus below it. I don't like flowers. Just lotuses. Haha. So it's not your typical flowers down the arm tattoo. It's actually a unique design. I love yoga and zen things although from my post...I don't sound so zen. Haha. I've been going thru it now since summer started. I would say it's going in a while. I wear it out, got a compliment from someone at the gas station, I just don't look at it myself with it. It makes my stomach sink. Like I ruined myself. I'm ocd about it. I continue to get tattoos tho. I dont want to be a lunatic over it either. I always said I would never tattoo my upper arms and I did. And for the life of me, can't figure out why I did that. I was living in the moment I guess. So, if the reality of the tattoo doesn't meet my expectations,  what do u do for that? Add to it? Thank you for responding to me. I appreciate it a lot. I feel like I lost my mind over thos. I just got another tattoo on my forearm, and love it, it's smaller. Maybe that's why. I don't know. I allowed thos to be placed somewhere I never wanted ot, I approved it loved it afterwards and now....maybe cause it's so on display. I'm not used to having such big visible tattoos. Like, why cant I just be cool about it. I LOVE tattoos. 
    • "I'm very fit and complimented all the time how tone my arms are" So if you were fat and out of shape it would be OK?  🤣 Tattoo Anxiety is not unusual, but it really depends on how long it goes on for. Has it been weeks, months, years? You really don't have a lot of options. Despite what laser removal centers would have you believe, you'll never get totally rid of it. Any cover up will need to be even bigger and bolder, don't let any "artist" tell you differently.  Given the tone of your post, "I'm very fit and complimented all the time how tone my arms are," "My artist is extremely talented, there is not 1 shaky line, crooked line," "The line work is out of this workd, perfectly straight," "Everyone loves it" it sounds like the reality of the tattoo doesn't meet your expectations.
