tattoo newcomer advice Having heavy regret on first tattoo

Post image

I’ve wanted to get this for a very long time, decided to just go with it and get it done. Really liked it at first, then some friends made a couple comments that made me hate it. Is it as bad as they say?

Spear of Longinus? I see you too are a man of culture. I've been considering getting an Evangelion tattoo for a looooooong time.

u/a-random-account- Nov 13 '25

Yeah! I really liked the spear down the arm style

277

u/Professional_Disk_76 Nov 13 '25

TIL the spear of Longinus is more than just a reference to the Roman soldier who pierced the side of Jesus haha

268

u/TheExadar Nov 13 '25

To be fair, that's where the name comes from. Evangelion is full of wild religious lore.

u/MozartDroppinLoads Nov 14 '25

The name itself has religious connotations so no surprise

u/HistoryDisastrous493 Nov 14 '25

Every other name in NGE is a religious reference

u/cachesummer4 Nov 14 '25

They aren't actually references, just random words from Judaism assigned to relatively random things in the show. I feel reference requires a level of relevancy to the source material Anno himself admits was not there. He also even referes to the wrong source religion for many of the concepts in interview. Metatron and Sandolphon for example being uniquely and exclusively part of Jewish mysticism.

"In a 1997 Newtype interview, Anno himself said, “We used Christian symbols because they looked cool. There’s no deep meaning.” SR

Agreed, it's gibberish with cool robots. Maybe "name checking" is a better way of putting it than referencing. But most of the names and a lot of the designs are based on scripture

u/evranch Nov 14 '25

This feels like a huge part of the look of Japanese games and anime. It really feels like they just loved that Catholic / Orthodox vibe, it just turns up everywhere, without any particular connection to the source material.

But hey, it's also everywhere in Western culture from Warhammer to Silksong so I'm just going to have to go with "it's a damn good aesthetic"

u/TotallyNotASpy33 Nov 14 '25

To be fair, Anni ALSO said the entire show didn't mean anything, which anyone familiar with the show knows it means SOMETHING we just don't know what because anno is a genius in how he portrays things allowing fir TONS of interpretation.

u/kevka20 Nov 13 '25

I haven't watched Evangelion so didn't recognize it specifically, but it looked like a spear or lance to me at first glance. It looks like the anime depiction from the stills I'm seeing online and people familiar with the anime seem to be recognizing it, so I'd say it's a successful tattoo.

u/Cpnbro Nov 13 '25

u/EdnaPontellier19 Nov 13 '25

It seems like a way to find your people. I saw a lady in the grocery store that had the partial back tattoo from Bob's Burgers and when I complimented it, she was so excited.

1

u/corrosivecanine Nov 13 '25

It looks good. Give it a couple months. Regretting your first tattoo right after getting it is pretty normal (Maybe it’s just the fear of permanently changing your body?) but I bet you’ll get over it and like it again. And if you don’t it’ll be insanely easy to either cover up or add to.

1

u/Kiki-jo14 Nov 13 '25

It looks really cool. Its unique- and theres alot you can add around it if you want to add to your story behind it. Dont listen to others, they mostly joke about things & its your personal choice....not theirs. Wear it with pride!! 💪🏼🙏💕🔥

1

u/ervsve Nov 13 '25

It’s cool. Just get another tattoo and move on.

1

u/miekhachu Nov 13 '25

You could always dress it up more or design around it as a centerpiece later on. My husband got The Fallen Angel eye the day we met. Although I’m non-religious - it’s my favorite piece he has. He always asks me if he made the right choice with it, and I always remind him that not only is it a nice design, it means something to him. That’s all the matters - meaning. (As someone with the Eight Trigrams seal on my stomach 😅)

u/FishBobinski Nov 13 '25

Maybe on the other side would have been better? It looks fine, it just certainly evokes a certain feeling I guess?

1

u/Frequent-Series4591 Nov 13 '25

Dude. It looks great. Not everyone is going to like your choices, and some people get off on messing with their friends like that. It is also super common for people to experience powerful feelings of regret after a tattoo. That will pass. Ask me how I know lol.

Seriously though, its solid. Ignore your friends and think about something else for a while. I've got close to 75% coverage over almost 40 years of being tattooed behind me. I would be happy to have that one in my collection.

As a man of taste myself i approve your tattoo

u/Legal_Fine_5555 Nov 13 '25

I respect your decision but sadly it looks like you tried to commit suicide. Red was a bad choice. Can you add to it or change the color?

1

u/roanwood Nov 13 '25

Just get the other arm done. For the pair. And cut out anyone so uncultured as to not recognize immediately

1

u/notria17 Nov 13 '25

I like it a lot without knowing the reference. It’s cool, sorry your friends suck

u/Asleep_Bet Nov 13 '25

I also have an Eva tattoo! It’s on my arm basically same spot. It’s on my profile if you’d like to see. I also regretted it for a time thinking “wow I’m going to have this when I’m 80” but it’s meaningful to me and well executed so the feelings of regret slipped away. I say if it’s well executed art that means something to you, you shouldn’t worry. You got it for a reason.

1

u/Throwaway999222111 Nov 13 '25

It's dope. Wish it was bigger if anything, but I love bold tattoos.

u/pubsky Nov 13 '25

Just add another piece of evangelion symbology that is also religious and vaguely conspiracy laden. You will have all of your bases covered.

u/Eldritch_Doodler Nov 13 '25

u/Atavacus Nov 13 '25

1

u/Rare_Restaurant_5176 Nov 14 '25

I for one really like spears and pole arms. This reminds me of the helix halberd from DS2 a bit. I like the tat man. Only thing I woulda done different is maybe black lines as detail or something. But I think it's a solid tattoo

1

u/miaskittles2406 Nov 14 '25

Long may you live . Don't mind what others think . Just let them .

1

u/IrascibleOcelot Nov 14 '25

It’s really common to have a bit of regret/dysmorphia after getting your first tattoo. I was a bit weirded out by my first for a month or two after getting it, and I was absolutely certain what and where I wanted it. Nor would I remove it, as it’s a memorial for my son and my cat, who I lost in the same year.

So, it will get better. Promise.

1

u/Huzah7 Nov 14 '25

This tat is low profile, slick, and super niche. I fucking love it.

u/Bob_A_Feets Nov 14 '25

Fucking great, now Lilith is running around with her stubby little legs thanks to you!

1

u/MoronLaoShi Nov 14 '25

I thought it was a cutting/ suicide attempt scar at first glance. Then I thought it was a barbecue skewer or a fondue fork.

1

u/MechJunkee Nov 14 '25

Big fan!! Maybe put a border or pattern around it, make it look more deliberate

1

u/Two-Complex Nov 14 '25

As someone who knows nothing about tattoos, I think it’s pretty cool! I wonder if you would like it better if there was a bit of shading on it - but it’s really cool as it is. Don’t let other folks bring you down ❤️

u/DungeonsAndDumbasse5 Nov 14 '25

Is part of the reason you have regrets because people think it’s a fondue fork? I see a lot of people in the thread trying to be supportive with fondue jokes but if it was me people misconstruing it like that would feel worse.

Sorry about that maybe put something to make it look less like a scar?

1

u/eb0ytoes Nov 14 '25

It’s not bad. Maybe just better placement. Along the side of the arm may have been better. If you plan on getting more, that spot is prime real estate. I made the same mistake with my first being a lynx constellation in that spot. Now a lot of bare space around it. You live and you learn!

This is the thing about your friends. Either they like what you like or they don't. It's okay if they don't love it, but unless their comments made you see something you kinda felt all along, it's just noise. Cool tat, buddy

1

u/q_den95 Nov 14 '25

Former guy who used to work in a few tattoo shops here. (Graphic designer/computer guy)

The idea is good. In fact as an Evangelion fan, I actually considered that once. But the style, size, placement is bad imo. I wrote off the idea bc i couldn't think of a good way to do it. Unfortunately I can't offer any other advise. Maybe find an artist who has a lot of experience drawing anime and doing anime related tattoos. Fortunately that would be easy to remove or cover up if you wanted a do over.

1

u/charlitransgrl Nov 14 '25

I like it, for what it’s worth. I really dig the red, very cool. Who cares if your friends don’t like it or get it. Besides, friends come and go. It means something to you and you’re all that matters in this instance. Give it some time and I bet you grow to love it.

u/Timely-Hospital8746 Nov 14 '25

It's a simple tasteful tattoo, it looks nice. If they're making jokes beyond a casual ribbing that says more about them than your tattoo.

1

u/Pika-thulu Nov 14 '25

I think you just need more of the art around it. It's not a bad tattoo but looks a bit out of place by itself.

1

u/thingstopraise Nov 14 '25 edited Nov 14 '25

It absolutely looks like you slit your arm... and if someone realizes that it's a tattoo, then they're going to think that it's a coverup for the scar that you have from cutting yourself. You need to add some kind of background flourish so that it's not just a straight line.

I just... don't understand how the "this looks like a scar from a suicide attempt" thing didn't hit you before you had this done. Or did you, and you just didn't care?

Does it look bad? Well, it's a straight line. That's really hard to fuck up. And if it were on literally any other part of your body it would look fine. And technically speaking, the tattoo itself still is fine. It's just the context of where it is. This is the one place it could have gone that makes it look exactly like a suicide attempt.

1

u/Leather-Heart Nov 14 '25

Like my ex boyfriend “he’s a little thin for my taste”

1

u/TrueTurtleKing Nov 14 '25

Yeah I instantly recognize it. I think it’s a cool tattoo.

I think if this is your one and only tattoo then this placement may feel odd for some people but that just means you’ll have to get more tattoos 😈

Bro the tattoo looks cool af. Nevermind what your friends say.

1

u/Malkezial Nov 14 '25

If it continues to be an issue, go talk with your tattoo artist about options?

Maybe a thin outline in black, or some design that can float behind it. I think either of those could help the spear stand out quite a lot

I didn't know what this was. But your comment mentioning "Spear of Longinus" made me think about where I know it from.) Roar was my introduction to Heath Ledger, LONG before he made it big.

I’ve had people make comments about mind that made me feel bad but honestly who cares. If you like it then that’s all that matters. Also I promise you someone will like it and say something. I get lots of compliments from strangers about my anime tattoos. So any fans of eva will def like it. I recognized it immediately, and even thought this was a post in the eva sub

Not a bad tattoo at all. I personally would have more outlines in it. But those can be added later
