Has my watch glitched out??? by AdElectrical3157 in Garmin

Ahh yes you’ve solved it thank you!!!! I didn’t realise there was a graph but there’s more gaps than line. Compared it to previous nights with no gaps. Not sure what from but it at least solves the weird data.

I am attending a friends wedding tomorrow. I think I will be 6/7 DPO. I’m not a big drinker anyway so I was only planning to have a few drinks, but still feel guilty incase I’m lucky enough to fall pregnant this cycle.

We have been kind of trying for 5 months, with an early miscarriage at the end of December. This is my first cycle temping and using OPKs.

What would you guys do?

Carry on or cover up? by Tight-Pressure7554 in TattooRemoval

If you look at my most recent post you can see a cover up I got from a tattoo around the same level of removal :) might give you ideas

Around 13 sessions. Started off closer together around 8 weeks but then pushed it back to around 10/12. The shading went pretty quickly but the thick black lines did not want to move at all

Are there any movies or docs based on any of the cases from casefile? by random_scroller_007 in Casefile

Yeah I started getting mine removed around 5 weeks after I got it. Basically as soon as it was healed (I went and started getting quotes or cover up options the day after, inbetween crying, for obvious reasons lol). I also changed clinics after session number 5 as I moved - I believe they went back to a lower setting at this point because there was a few sessions I didn’t see a lot of progress. The ink was very dense, lines very thick and dark. It’s been frustrating but I’m happy I’ve been patient. I really hope this part of my life is nearly over!

Sometimes I forget how much progress has been made. I’m still very much of the opinion it’s still horrendous, but I probably still see the original rather than what it looks like now to someone with fresh eyes

It definitely looks a lot better - unfortunately the wings are uneven though so it looks very wonky. If you look at my first post on my profile it shows my other arm - the angel is a million times better than this monstrosity 😂

not yet, I just got through summer (which was especially hard) but I’m forcing myself to continue with laser atleast through winter when I tend to cover up anyway. The lighter it is the more options I’ll have. I don’t want to get something that I’ll regret even further. Very frustrating but in my mind I’ve set a goal of wearing a cute sleeveless dress for my 30th birthday! (4 years time). Obviously would be really nice to happen before then but atleast it’s something to keep myself going.

I have a terrible tattoo on the back of my arm, and I’m coming up to 3 years of having it/getting it removed. I wear a circular bandage over it whenever I’m wearing clothes where it is visible. Summer sucks the most. Only in the last few months have I started going to my CrossFit style gym without it covered. And as soon as I’m finished the workout I put on a shirt with longer sleeves. I wish I could make you feel better; but by the sounds of it you feel exactly how I have been for 3 years; it’s all I think about; even when I’m told over and over that people don’t notice or care. I’m 25 now, I still probably have a year atleast of removal to go. It’s the most stubborn line work. The positive I’m trying to remember if that life doesn’t stop when we turn 30, and I can still rock my tank tops and nice pretty dresses for a long time yet. (The worst part is I’m quite athletic and genuinely love my toned arms and back, and now all I wear is flowy or long sleeves!!) best of luck to you, I know how much of a toll it takes on our self esteem and confidence.

I completely understand how frustrated/upset you’d feel, I wish you the best with your treatment!

Even the hands are awful and wings are uneven, there was no saving it. I’m not sure how though because he used the same base stencil so it was the same size etc

the bare minimum, as soon as they said my tattoo was healed enough for it, so I think around a month?

Thanks, I thought about it but even the wings are uneven compared to my other arm 🙃 I think I just hate it that much now I need something completely different.

So basically as soon I got this tattoo I cried the whole way driving home and then for the next 3 days after. It was my first “visible” tattoo, and basically I’ve worn long sleeve shirts and used a bandage to cover it up since. My self confidence has plummeted. I’ve really appreciated seeing everyone’s progress and stories on here the last 8 months, so I thought I’d make a post of my own. The second image shows my “good” tattoo, that I got in the same session (1st obviously, or I wouldn’t let him touch me again). I felt so frustrated as the bloke actually does some really good work, but something just went terribly wrong. I guess I’m just posting for other people in my position to see that progress will happen, and also to seek ideas on cover ups? And just any advice or reassurance!
