Anxiety can be a prison for some people. Those wrestling with social anxiety have been brought to the forefront of media outlets and the scientific community alike. They say the eyes are the window to the soul and in the case of this photo realistic eye tattoo, the dread one feels when facing their fears is palpable. To those of you reading this who suffer from this sort of stress, the idea of getting a tattoo to represent it isn't so far fetched.

Grim Reapers, spiders, clowns. People are constantly getting the things they fear most tattooed on them and the reason is the traditional folklore that once you get something tattooed on your body, it takes the power of fear away from that thing. What better way then, to remove fear itself?

This eye represent a host of fears and anxieties we all feel from day to day. It's a beautiful depiction of how we can take charge of our own minds and lives, moving forward through any difficulty we may face.
