It's interesting...less than a month after getting this ink, I am already used to it. I remember getting my first tat, back in '04. I was constantly looking over my shoulder into a mirror so I could see my ink. I did that for months. Of course, that isn't to say I don't like this most recent art. In fact, I am most fond of this one.
On a slightly related note:
"By the exercise of brotherly love, we are taught to regard the whole human species as one family. The high and low, the rich and poor, who as created by one almighty Parent, and inhabitants of the same planet, are to aid, support, and protect each other. On this principle, Masonry unites men of every country, sect, and opinion, and conciliates true friendships among those who might otherwise have remained at a perpetual distance."
"To relieve the distressed is a duty incumbent on all men, but particularly on Masons, who are linked together by an indissoluble chain of sincere affection. To soothe the unhappy, to sympathize with their misfortunes, to compassionate their miseries, and to restore peace to their troubled minds, is the grand aim we have in view. On this basis, we form our friendships, and establish our connections."
"Truth is a divine attribute, and the foundation of every virtue. To be good and true is the first lesson we are taught in Masonry. On this theme, we contemplate, and by its dictates endeavour to regulate our conduct. Hence, while influenced by this principle, hypocrisy and deceit are unknown among us. Sincerity and plain dealing distinguish us. And the heart and tongue are joined in promoting each other's welfare and rejoicing in each other's prosperity."
