Let's talk about tattoos, since I can't think of a more appropriate community than this one—given the originality that this tattoo itself represents and, above all, because of the community's rules that encourage us to create designs that are, at times, outrageously dramatic, to showcase psychedelic art, but above all, something that's quite powerful and meaningful, such as:
I don't want to read the tattoo—I think it's pretty legible—but before I continue, I'd really like to hear your opinions, thoughts, or questions about this tattoo in the comments.
I know that many of you here are familiar with the situation unfolding in Venezuela in general. I also know that some of you are aware of what’s happening regarding the earthquake—you know there are more than 3,700 fatalities, a staggering number of people affected, and many countries sending humanitarian aid. But in Venezuela, the crisis doesn’t end there; it ends with the rule of a manipulative and evil government. It doesn’t end with a horrific earthquake, nor is it enough to deal with the evil to which we’re used to. We’ve already seen it—now it turns out that certain government law enforcement agencies have crossed a line that cannot be undone after revealing their true colors in this tragedy. While many of us are struggling to rebuild our homes, there are several thousand others who have lost their homes entirely. On top of that, there are many police officers actually stealing belongings from evacuated buildings—stealing items from buildings that were demolished after the earthquake. Furthermore, there are National Guard troops preventing humanitarian aid from other countries and blocking roads and streets, preventing humanitarian aid from reaching Venezuelan civilians in the affected communities. On top of all this, police officers are taking supplies donated to disaster victims—hoarding them, appropriating them, and then reselling them. But this isn’t limited to law enforcement agencies; there have also been cases of individuals and local businesses reselling some of these products. Unfortunately, situations like these are coming to light, causing people to want to stop helping Venezuelans because they don’t know who to trust. But I know there are many more of us who will raise our voices in protest against this injustice, because there are many more kind-hearted Venezuelans who contribute what little we have—with all the blessings in the world—so that it reaches those who need it most. That is why your tattoo means so much to me; it marks a historic milestone, a date of a catastrophe , but above all, a date on which we declare our total hatred for any political, governmental, or uniformed entity that seeks to impose its authority.
Sorry for the huge text.
Its what i feel with it.
Thats what's happening rightnow!
What I’m saying is based on facts, and you can see it in the news—mainly on Twitter—but I have to post links that aren’t related to art so as not to keep going on about politics. However, it’s worth noting that I didn’t get that tattoo this weekend, but last Monday, since the day before I had gone to the city of Maturín, where I met up with my brother and childhood friend 
Although, as I mentioned in an old post where I was showing how I cut a steel pipe filled with concrete—which I plan to place in the center as a support for this main beam—these tasks are on hold for now. It’s worth clarifying that the rest of the materials were used for the cutting disc, the pipe, and a bag of cement, and I still need more beams and rebar.
That’s why this tattoo is so meaningful and significant to me.
