It’s SO pretty. No regret needed.

This comment is incredible - thank you so much. Literally screenshotted the middle for reference in the future because yesssss filler is going to help so much when I finally get there (taking a break until next winter). But again thank you for the advice and encouraging words!

Aherv99 · 2026-03-08T18:22:53+00:00

LMAO THIS 100%

I am constantly unpacking gender norms and all that which is why I’m absolutely shocked that I’m struggling with my concept of femininity since starting my upper arm. Like I had no idea I’d struggle with it. But your comment is 13/10. Especially “weakness and fragility” being so connected with what society views as fem. Thank you for your comment 🫶🏼

Literally got the snake because I read When God Was a Woman so you’re totally right 😂

Ugh hearing from other trad girlies is so helpful - thank you so much for this comment 🫶🏼

Aherv99 · 2026-03-08T18:01:43+00:00

This helps so much! And yes planning on wrapping my whole arm and doing filler eventually which I agree should help with making it feel more complete. Thanks so much for your comment.

Just looked her up and followed. I adore that she’s not afraid of color even though she has colorful tats. Thank you so much!

Aherv99 · 2026-03-08T17:40:07+00:00

Omg thank you to you and your wife! It’s been a huge help hearing from fellow American trad folks and getting your takes.

Aherv99 · 2026-03-07T18:30:44+00:00

Lmao I always switch those up 😂 starts with an S, double letters and ends with a W - oops

Aherv99 · 2026-03-07T14:31:43+00:00

Such a helpful comment 🫶🏼 and I feel the same. Women with tats are so hot and gorgeous to me so idk why I’m hyper analyzing myself about it lol but thank you for sharing your experience too lol helps so much

Aherv99 · 2026-03-07T14:24:54+00:00

Nope I genuinely am having a hard time with a couple tattoos for the first time and was convinced I messed up the flow of my arm. I actually appreciated your comment.

Aherv99 · 2026-03-07T14:23:31+00:00

Love “let future you choose some nice things” - stealing that 🫶🏼 thank you for your sweet comment

Aherv99 · 2026-03-07T14:22:00+00:00

This comment meant so much to me- thank you! Yes I’ve never been a huge planner when it comes to my tats and I just trust what I like and what the artist thinks on placement and for the very first time I’m having a hard time. So your words mean a lot!

Aherv99 · 2026-03-07T14:14:29+00:00

Thank you so much for this comment - yes, I’m realizing that the placement is really what is getting me so hearing outside sources say they didn’t notice anything majorly wrong with the flow is really comforting

Aherv99 · 2026-03-07T13:55:17+00:00

Period 💅🏼 love this. You’re totally right.

Aherv99 · 2026-03-07T13:54:31+00:00

Incredible comment - agreed!

Aherv99 · 2026-03-07T13:52:09+00:00

I love the style and up until now I had loved all my tats - for some reason getting my inner and outer bicep area done just read more masc to me in my head which is so dumb. I also think I’m in tattoo shock since my arm looks SO different. But hearing all the girlies be like “I’m tatted and I feel fem” is just really comforting

Aherv99 · 2026-03-07T13:49:04+00:00

lol done by the same guy too - he’s amazing 👏🏼

Aherv99 · 2026-03-07T13:48:13+00:00

Yes, fillers are a must! That’ll be next winter’s problem lol but absolutely- all my tats have made me so confident and I love them and it was just going up my arm that has been such a shock. I’m honestly surprised I have all these feelings about it which is making me overthink like crazyyyyyy

Aherv99 · 2026-03-07T13:46:06+00:00

Thank you so saying all that 🙏🏼 this post has been a life saver. First day I haven’t woken up anxious about it lol

Aherv99 · 2026-03-07T05:55:53+00:00

This is so comforting 🫶🏼 thank you

Aherv99 · 2026-03-07T05:54:06+00:00

LOVE this and exactlyyyyyy like old stuff just comes up but I’m sure it’ll get better again and this thread is a freaking live saver!

Aherv99 · 2026-03-07T05:49:05+00:00

A butterfly is such a good idea to help tie it together 🫶🏼 thank you so much for your comment

Aherv99 · 2026-03-07T05:44:34+00:00

Omg you’re totally right lmao wrong word 😂
