This is sweet @andrey but I’m
A terrible artist.
From what aspect? Schizo is a whole complex of symptoms and it’s hard for me to think of a single painting, do you have an idea?

Ola can u show her any of ur painting …
I was going to get the age old Monkey on My Back…but was told by the tattoo artist it was too generic and done! hahah
I like that story. I like how it mimics schizophrenia. Until you get that monkey drunk you don’t get rid of it…much like having a cure.
Please. Do not follow this idea! If a tattoo artist tells you that they won’t do it then that tells you something hahah. True story!

i can only draw what I see… I can’t create from imagination… plus I dont have visual hallucination… only auditory… so I wouldn;t know how to draw from that. I’m also on meds right now so I cant do much… sorry…
I once had a delusion of being followed and watched by satellites… could that be an illustration?

I have mostly auditory hallucinations. Specifically god telling me to pray and what to do. I get so frustrated and confused because half of the time I believe I do talk to god
Yes I had one that I was being followed by aliens
I’m not sute if this is what you’re looking for, but I made this painting about what schizophrenia feels like when I was hospitalized. I think I made a thread about it on here.

Maybe like a creature with eyes on its back and a silver tongue? The eyes represent the paranoia of being watched and the silver tongue is like the voices being convincing.
Sorry I couldn’t be a major help on more details but throwing potential ideas out there.
I did draw a creature with similar attributes before, though I dunno how accurate it would be for Sz sufferers, as it goes for a creature.
are you sure you want this random tattoo?
are you okay now to make this decision?
