AE, just for the record, I like your tattoo, don't think it's cliche or whatever. Most people associate barbed wire with those barbed wire armbands that were really popular for a while though, and that's where the unoriginal thought comes from.

I've been planning my tattoo for a few years now, and it will mean a lot to me. I don't really care what other people think about it, I'm getting it for me. I do have to be able to cover it up though, tattoos aren't acceptable in my industry, and I'm already at a disadvantage being a young female in an industry dominated by older men.
