Life Is An Uphill Fight
Kudos to the tattoo artist as he or she impressively created a tattoo that made us forget that we are actually looking at a scar.

So the tattoo artist created fake nails on this guy's fingers to make them look normal. So, you can say that the tattoo artist NAILED IT big time.

Not A Helping Hand
Although this tattoo is named "Face your demons," we feel like it would be best to grab the hand of the demon inside and dance. After all, facing your demon with a smile and some dance moves is much better than serious facial expressions.
By the way, the tattoo perfectly depicts how this person had some previous bad experiences and they embraced how they formed them, rather than trying to pretend like they never happened.
