Unfortunately, this is everything one shouldn't do when designing a logo. Whatever talent you have, it's overwhelmed by your lack of theoretical and practical knowledge of logo design.

This looks like a logo for some shady tattoo parlor where you would get skin infection. The fault is in the choice of font and their treatment. The terrible texture in the background isn't helping either.

Globally, it looks like you've been riffing on Photoshop, plastering filters and effects all over the place, with a satisfying feeling. I know this feeling, I used to do exactly the same when I first dabbled into graphic design years ago. But that's not how you create a viable logo.

Keep working on your skills, have a look at logos as much and as often as you can (www.logopong.com www.dribbble.com are good places to start) and always be sketching, never use your softwares as a creation tool.

If you are from Texas, you are lucky, because there's a rich culture of hand made signs and lettering, that would fit you're liking of tattor parlor just right. Deep in the heart of Texas! =)

Good luck and keep it up!

I don't think it's a complete fail. I agree with most of what Shawali says.

Was it hand rendered or indeed a photoshop filter fest?

If you strip it away from the overbearing background, leaving just the type, and do away with most of the fancy bits on the ink lettering, I think there's something usable there.
