is this appropriate/okay to do? *WILL MOVE IF IN THE WRONG GROUP*
hey y’all i’m sorry if this is in a wrong group and if it is i’ll happily move it because i don’t want to upset or trigger anyone in this group but i feel regarding the subject it is most appropriate. so almost a week ago my first cousin committed suicide and she is an amazing artist. always will be in my eyes. however, i didn’t get to know her how i wanted to in life due to family complications between her dad and my dad (they’re brothers). my dad always kept me away from that side of my family and me being almost 18 i have began to reach out to everyone that i have been disconnected from since i was 6. my dear cousin was going to be one of them but i never got the chance. growing up i heard stories about her and was always intrigued by her art and what she was up to. family is something that is unbreakable to me. so i’ve been thinking of getting one of her beautiful works tattooed on me. however, i’m not sure if that is disrespectful towards her especially since i never really got the chance to know her and don’t want to exploit her or her artwork in any way. from stories that others told me she was a free spirit and a hippie chick so i know that she is okay with tattoos and she has many. i have always seen a lot of myself in her like we could’ve been insanely close. we shared much of the same interests and outlooks. but i don’t want to seem like a person seeking attention from this piece. i want to get it to honor her and her works. i never got the chance to know her in life so i want to carry her with me in spirit. does this seem distasteful? i want to respect her, my family, and her friends. i don’t want to take away from her death or her life by doing something like this. as someone who has suffered from suicidal tendencies and other mental health issues, i know everyone expresses different views about honoring a lost loved one. so to make this question easy, do you think i should/find it appropriate if i get her artwork tattooed on my body in a presentable (ie no tramp stamp/above vagina)? thank you for your answers and please i never dealt with something like losing a loved one in this horrible way so i am ignorant on what may be appropriate.
PLEASE READ: if this isn’t allowed in the group please let me know i posted this also in a suicide awareness group but wanted some more opinions
