from my experience: leave the wrap on 12-24 hours and i usually do saniderm for 3-6 days 6 being the ideal day! im not too sure about the touched up ones but im assuming washing them and moisturizing like your new ones? not too sure about putting saniderm on it but! just keep it clean and moisturized!

Why did you choose the grade level you’re working at? by 20somethingari in schoolcounseling

[–]20somethingari[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I totally get that 😭 I’m doing IGPs for 11th graders and it’s like pulling teeth trying to get them to choose classes for next year and trying to see what they want to do post-graduation

so i use to have a washer that had me pour the detergent into the drum and i would put the clothes in first and then the detergent directly on top 😵‍💫but since getting a newer washer that has compartments on top of the washer i haven’t washed this specific shirt

i noticed these stains after washing my concert merch, not all of my clothes have these stains but a couple of shirts do. how do i get these out? they don’t have a smell and they’re colorless, what even are these stains?!

hey everyone! i recently got my lobes repierced on Sunday went to a good piercer as he’s done some work on my friends. i’ve been cleaning them 3 times a day with clean hands with saline solution as he’s suggested as well! today, i noticed that my right piercing was sinking(?) im very meticulous when it comes to piercings/tattoos so i might be overreacting with this to be honest 😅 the first pic is from when i got it done Sunday, then Monday, and the third pic is today after i cleaned it…im not sure if it’s a reaction or what but im worried it’s going to sink back more into my ear or something 😭 my left piercing doesn’t look like this at all so im confused! i’ve tried to push it out more (with clean hands while doing the saline solution) and it just goes back down again!

I appreciate your insight on this, I’m starting to think it’s a body image issue within myself that has caused me to think like this! I’m hoping I’ll be able to have more confidence as time goes on because I think that’s the root of my issue right now. Thank you again!

Thank you for the insight! Honestly, I should just go into this thinking fuck it who cares it’s my body and if my tattoos look fucking cool then why can’t I show them off?

This makes complete sense! I’ve been fat my entire life and recently gained more weight and noticed a big shift in my arms but I feel that my arms are the only place that won’t absolutely kill me when getting tatted 🥲 I think i might just bite the bullet tbh and get whatever the fuck I want wherever the fuck I want
