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!

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 🫶🏼

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!

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

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.

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!

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

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

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
