3 Tips to Remember When Looking For Friendship Tattoo Designs

It's not that friendship tattoo designs are very difficult to find. It's just that is can be hard to pin point the "quality" ones out there. It might take a while to find them, but most people will settle on a design of far less quality way before they end up getting to the good ones. Rushed decisions are never a good idea when getting tattooed, so I put together a couple of tips to help you find good friendship tattoo designs.

The first tip is just a follow up to what I just stated. You should always, always take your time when looking for tattoos online. This may seem like basic common sense, but so many men and women are still making impulse decisions when picking tattoos. Hey run to get them inked and many of these people end up regretting what they got.

The second tip is one that you might have already noticed. It has to do with search engines and why they can hamper your ability to locate good friendship tattoo designs. Sure, you can use them to find a slew of tattoos, but most of the galleries that pull up in the results are low end places that have nothing but generic, nine year old artwork.

I am sure you can find a diamond in the rough if you look hard enough, but again, most people will not take the time to actually sift through that much artwork to get decent friendship tattoo designs. Most of the galleries that pull up in search engine results will have the same exact tattoos as about one hundred other galleries, which makes it even harder to find the quality friendship tattoo designs out there.

The third tip is just going to help you seek out a new avenue to locate the tons of good galleries you ay have been missing out on. You can do this by implementing internet forums into the equation. Forums (the bigger ones) are always sizzling with topics revolving around tattoos. You can use these topics to find out exactly where other guys and girls are finding their great tattoos. People are always sharing links to the galleries that they have fond and you can simply scoop them up to uncover some great friendship tattoo designs.

Christian Friendship - How to Keep Guilt and Neglect From Damaging Your Relationships

Cultivating and nurturing good Christian friendship is an important part of Catholic spiritual growth. But there are some influences in our lives that make it difficult for us to keep our friendships healthy. Neglect is one of the deadliest friendship-killing influences - and unfortunately one of the most common.

Hey - it happens, right? We get busy. Months go by and we don't talk or write. Eventually we even stop emailing. But we comfort ourselves with the thought that when we finally get back together we'll pick up with our friends right where we left off. And with some friendships, that can be true... for a while.

But the faithfulness at the foundation of a true friendship is built up by a myriad of small occasions for displaying affection and expressing commitment through tiny acts of service. These tiny acts happen through the gift of time.

The problem is that once the guilt hits about the distance that has come between us, we continue to keep our distance, refusing to face the guilt. We wait for the great occasion for making up for lost time. Sometimes that moment comes. Other times we just keep waiting. What a distanced relationship really needs is immediate and frequent doses of little moments. Start with a card or an email. Get together for lunch or a coffee. Don't wait for an "event." Just do it.

My wife and I are horrible offenders here. We recently moved, leaving a number of close friends behind. Immediately my wife started telling people, "We're really bad at distance relationships, but we'll try to keep in touch." The debilitating guilt was already present before we were even guilty of neglecting our friends. So when life takes over and we actually do neglect our friends, the guilt is already active. So we start looking for opportunities for the big reunion. But all it would really take is an email.

Look, occasional neglect happens. Get rid of the guilt. Just fix it.

Now, if neglect of friends is a pattern for you, you may need to find the cause and deal with it. For example, people with a sanguine temperament are prone to neglect their friends in favor of being social butterflies. Of course, neglect can also happen due to pain or conflict or a number of other factors. The point is that whatever the cause of neglect of our friends, we need to take care of it.

Fortunately for us, the love of friendship is a skill that we can learn. We can learn relationship skills that help us to complement those who differ from us and to see the gifts in others.
