....I just don't think the concept is very good. There has to be a better way to put though two symbols together.
Cigarettes kill 400k + a year Marijuana - 0 Of course smoke in general is bad and I am aware of that lol, but there are alot of bad things on this earth. Too much fast food is bad, too much sugar is bad, too much cholesterol is bad, too much drinkin is bad, too much everything is bad. The way I see it is, if im not harming anyone else and knowingly harming myself (only slightly , marijuana can be ingested or vaporized so theres ways around the carcinogens) then I see no harm in general. I understand you dont agree with smoking, but alot of people do it along with cigarettes and alchohol. So at least im not gonna end up dead from marijuana and I stick by that statement as every other cannabis user whos still living. And you say try running? Lol I box with my friends and I can last a few rounds I dont think my lungs are that bad. My sister has been smoking cannabis since she was in high school and she is almost 25. She went for a check up and the doctor said her lungs were still in good shape so ye and thats that she also occassionaly smoke cigarettes something I do maybe 5 times a year lol or if im fuckin drunk and am not really there. As far as I said its just a concept and its been placed very well together by a local artist but he flaked so thats why I want someone else to design it but its all good.
My thought is: using a brand (marketing) for a tat? Bands, same thing. do you really want to be a walking billboard? If you are sure that you want the idea, how about the state with crossed cigarillos? no brand logos, but still speaking to your lifestyle?
Okay. I have always told my friends that I'd rather smoke marijuana then drink, because it's healthier for you. But I just don't see myself starting. Maybe once my dreads come in I'll try it out haha
What marijuana has done to help me spiritually fair outweighs any negative damage its done to my body/life. Of course for all i cannot say this, but I see very few people out of the many people i know that smoke that it has a negative impact on.
I think this is a very regrettable tattoo idea. Do as you wish. I know you say you've thought about it for a long time, but I still think you're going to regret this. The fact that its a brand name is dumb and counter the hippy/smoker philosophy. The fact that its a smoking accesory just makes it an inadvisable thing to do. Like I said, do as you wish and I won't judge you personally, but I would bet money that you won't always want this tattoo.
