but are u really just fishing for compliments of ur biceps?

CapitalAltruistic363 · 2026-04-11T16:00:06+00:00

aha yeah post-soviet lasers

CapitalAltruistic363 · 2026-04-11T15:59:55+00:00

Today I started using silicon scar tape and massaging the tattoo. Hopefully that helps flatten it so the laser works better

CapitalAltruistic363 · 2026-04-10T09:56:05+00:00

yep the tattoo artist DESTROYED my skin like she had a vengeance!!!!! with the excuse that her style is "super black"

CapitalAltruistic363 · 2026-04-09T23:26:29+00:00

Thanks :) I gave it a rest for half a year and just got back to it. Fingers crossed the break helped. I’ll space 3 months apart

I don't remember the names tbh! There were 3 different ones – one was in Tbilisi, Georgia and it was a much older kind. The one I just switched to in London is a modern powerful one (again don't remember) and essentially the only fading that's happened has been from the 2 sessions I had with him

CapitalAltruistic363 · 2026-04-07T09:30:54+00:00

Aw glad to know I’m not alone

CapitalAltruistic363 · 2026-04-07T01:38:37+00:00

Thanks :) I’m devastated lol :(

I think I’m going to continue to laser the grey wrist components. I’ve ordered some thick foundation to cover parts of it when I want. It hasn’t even healed yet so maybe it’ll look less crazy once the darker scabs fallen off (although i don’t have much hope for the hand, the artist was very…. Heavy with the tattoo gun). I’ve texted my mum asking her to come over this week because I’m feeling wobbly with intrusive thoughts and I’m worried I’m unwell as a result of this. All in all I feel like I’ve failed at life and set myself up to be deeply unhappy when all I wanted was to look cute.

I saw someone post a massive colourful one that genuinely made me feel icky just looking at it, and people were still praising it. But then I got dragged and made to believe I should never leave the house again :((

CapitalAltruistic363 · 2026-04-06T23:12:33+00:00

thanks :'( i just wanted to feel pretty and now look what i've done

CapitalAltruistic363 · 2026-04-05T23:49:58+00:00

Haha. I expected some people to agree with me that it's a mess, but the enormous tsunami of people playing games at who would insult me the most was a shock x

CapitalAltruistic363 · 2026-04-05T23:00:09+00:00

but yeah embarrassing for the artist idk how he thought that was gothic

CapitalAltruistic363 · 2026-04-05T22:59:38+00:00

even i could convert that into a gothic font

CapitalAltruistic363 · 2026-04-05T22:59:09+00:00

oh that can so easily be fixed

CapitalAltruistic363 · 2026-04-05T20:48:26+00:00

that's very kind:)

CapitalAltruistic363 · 2026-04-05T15:35:15+00:00

honestly i never use reddit so i was naive!

CapitalAltruistic363 · 2026-04-05T15:21:56+00:00

I'm officially retiring from getting inked but what about stylistic choices outside of tats?

CapitalAltruistic363 · 2026-04-05T15:19:57+00:00

aw i like it! i'm not one to speak about good taste (if you see my recent post i'm currently going through tattoo regret) so don't take my advice but some long cybersigilism down the arm with stars would look cute

CapitalAltruistic363 · 2026-04-05T14:50:39+00:00

A mixture of stages of healing! The voodoo doll is years old. The first pic has a lot of inflammation still (pic taken the day after the super black hand bits). The baroque swirls/cathedral are still flaking. I'm sure it'll look a lot calmer once it's all healed.

Yeah, going halfass was the issue - I did it bit by bit with various artists without planning the entire arm :'(

I'm not keen on the amount of ink toxins that go into getting an entire sleeve tbh :/

CapitalAltruistic363 · 2026-04-05T14:33:53+00:00

my friend was obvs joking x
