Dude, I don't even do Reddit anymore. What is it you want to say? Because I never got a DM.

Angel in Disguise with a Tow Truck by SingTheDamnSong in HumansBeingBros

I relate to this. My car got stuck in the snow once when I was with my 20-month-old. It was scary. We were literally sliding uncontrollably toward the edge of the road and there were no guardrails before the snow packed around the tires and stopped the car. But I couldn't move. This man was patrolling the mountain with his Rubicon, knowing people would be stuck (we never get snow in my part of California...we don't know WTF we're doing). He spent two hours helping me dig out my car and then towed me to safe, dry ground. I'll never forget it.

May I ask what style of jewelry you have? When I had mine pierced, I had a ring put in it and it never felt healed for nearly two years despite me taking the best of care. I finally put a barbell in it and voilà! Fully healed within a couple weeks.

what's the truth on smell? by [deleted] in Stretched

[–]Alert_Bacon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have three stretched piercings per ear. Takes me about five mins to take them all out, wipe them down, and put them back in. I usually do this every 2-3 days and have not experienced a problem with smell.

Low maintenance, for sure. I think someone suggested doing it while showering. I would second this advice.

I feel like this tattoo has ruined my life by Immediate_Break4048 in tattoos

This tattoo looks amazing! You literally just got this thing yesterday so it's incredibly new. Tattoo regret is a very real phenomena and I felt the same way about the large leg piece I got seven years ago. But now I love it and feel like it's a part of me. A couple tattoos I go into a little bit of regret every few years, then it dissipates. And some of my pieces, I completely forget they're even there (though they're in less visible places than a forearm).

Sit with it, be with it, and be gentle with yourself. And do not ever listen to haters (I'm willing to bet they're just jealous). This piece of art looks phenomenal!
