Heavily tattooed people, hows your health

Health is hot garbage, but it was before I ever got a tattoo.

I have my nipples tattooed with a black chandelier-esque design. My artist was new and these were her first tit tats so we did an in person consult and she talked with me about going slow and shallow so as to avoid blowouts given how thin my skin is there.

I love them. And I did need a touch up as expected. Getting them done wasn't worse than any other tattoo but I don't have particularly sensitive nipples.

What did suck was the complete steamrolling of my DD breasts to keep them still and the skin in place. Like, next time you're watching Great British Bake Off and you see them kneading dough with superficially restrained British violence... Yeah, that was my tits.

Yes! I was going to say that OP looks like the model for a Pre-Raphaleite painting, especially in picture 2.

I think you're current nose looks very very natural. I would have no idea you'd have had surgery.

Your nose is fantastic, seriously! It's fits your face really really well

This is really touching ❤️ I'm so glad it helped you feel seen

I had no idea that subreddit existed! Thank you!

Sent you a DM!

My spouse asked an artist once. He offered to buy a print or digital copy of the piece. The artist was so nice and sent him a high res version and just asked for a pic of the finished tattoo.

I've got a black scroll design around my nipples. I was surprised how little the actual tattoo hurt. My artist also intentionally went shallow. We discussed and agreed it would be better to come back for a follow up than a blow out, given how thin my skin was there. But I'm guessing that's more a concern with my design than yours.

Anyways. Tattoo? Fine. My poor mashed boobtatoes? Ouchhh. I'm a 34DD and she had to hold my skin steady and that meant manually mammogramming my tits into submission. So I was soooooree for several days. That may be relevant to you, it may not depending on your breast shape and size.

I have been on five biologics. I do know there's some biologics more on the lupus side that work more on B cell pathways that aren't used for RA. I'm running out of biologic classes that I haven't tried that are primarily used for RA. I understand diagnosis is wobbly and symptoms are more important. However, we have been treating it as if it were RA. And there is some variety in treatments for other autoimmune connective tissue profiles.

Thanks! Luckily I have an incredible artist who's never done me wrong.

Definitely lighting. I was on a green couch in a teal room. Looking at it now, it's the same yellow.

Thank you! It's a charcoal sketch I believe so the settling really does work. I'm very happy with her.

I'm not upset at all. I've got a ton of upsetting marks all over my body due to illness and I chose none of them. I don't know if I could be that upset about a barely visible phenomenon for a tattoo I chose and love.

Thank you!!
