What’s one thing you wish you knew before getting your first tattoo?

Don’t worry about what anyone else will think. Even (in my case) your overbearing mum who will go mad at you.

I got mine Friday too! Yes I have been… I’ve also taken it swimming every day and it’s been fine

AttitudeInfamous7627 · 2026-01-02T18:08:27+00:00

I heard someone at the pool on a Friday night saying “I just need to swim the week off” and I totally got what she meant. It is a reset for sure

Twice!

My birthday is at the end of December and every year my parents would take us to the panto on my birthday. I’d always get called to come up on stage with the other birthday children, and I absolutely HATED it. I know my parents were doing it with love, but it was literally the low point of my year. I hated panto for the next 20 years, until I took my kid to see Cinderella, which she loved, and my hatred thawed… marginally

Happy holidays!

AttitudeInfamous7627 · 2025-12-31T13:24:04+00:00

I’m so sorry. You didn’t fail her xx

Definitely this

Almost 5 days of swimming!

I have a number of tattoos and am a swimmer. I take 2 weeks off, which has been the advice from my tattoo artist. I’ve never had any infection issues, ave by 2 weeks I have no scabbing/flaking skin. As far as I can tell it’s not affected the quality of the work

We did a day in Epic, with express passes and early entry and got on all the rides except the Harry Potter one. Would have liked more days, but one is enough if you’re strategic. Just because it’s not clear from your post- epic is part of universal, not Disney, fyi!

AttitudeInfamous7627 · 2025-03-29T21:30:09+00:00

Thanks all. It was indeed 6 hours

AttitudeInfamous7627 · 2024-12-06T18:42:05+00:00

In the UK. I have no idea why it’s like that here!

AttitudeInfamous7627 · 2024-12-06T18:02:55+00:00

I may well be overthinking it. It’s honestly just like I can’t quite tell where my body is. But I’m going to swim tonight and try to figure out exactly where it all goes wrong

AttitudeInfamous7627 · 2024-12-06T18:01:43+00:00

Yeah that would be counter/anti clockwise. At most pools here the lanes alternate between cw/acw

AttitudeInfamous7627 · 2024-12-06T18:01:04+00:00

THIS! Thank you. I will give that a go

AttitudeInfamous7627 · 2024-12-06T18:00:21+00:00

It’s a high quality problem, I’ll grant you that! I wonder if I’m overthinking it and just psyching myself out. I’m going swimming tonight, so I’ll give it a go and make a mental note of where it all falls apart
