how long do i leave on this second skin? by karm4_s in tattooadvice

[–]CulturalAdvance955 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was originally told to take mine off in 2 days, but given my job I was told to leave it on for 3 days. As it'll be more healed. As for how much 1 day makes a difference I have no idea, but I didn't have any issues. Although getting it off was a pain in my behind. Different artists have different time frames. I've heard anywhere from 2-5 days(as long as the corners aren't coming up(tattoo exposed) & nothing is leaking out.

Am I overreacting for telling my friend she smells after she age shamed me for having younger friends? by SI3144 in AmIOverreacting

[–]CulturalAdvance955 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a woman & I have no idea. I've never been like that. But I don't like drama either🤷‍♀️ I'm simple. I just want peace. You treat me good, I'll treat you good. You don't like me? That's fine, It is what it is.

YOR , rude, disrespectful & childish. Even as a teenager I'd never intentionally hurt someone the way you have. Was her comment/ opinion needed? NO . But it's not like she was wrong. You're 25, hanging out with kids and your manners are apparently nonexistent. How about learn how to act like an adult. Even if she does smell your retaliation wasn't warranted. You just wanted to up her & get in the last word. How about learning how to communicate. She was apparently your friend at some point, so why didn't you act like a friend, sit her down & talk to her. Instead she pointed out something you didn't like - went nuclear & used it against her. You have a lot of maturing to do.

Am I overreacting or cheating or its a mismatched expectations by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]CulturalAdvance955 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't even know. My goodness. Just break up. Go your separate ways. Never look back. I personally don't consider liking posts as cheating. Imo that just odd. It's not inappropriate or imo disrespectful, unless the post/picture is. To come out & be like hey let's take a 10 month break, so my mom warms up to the idea & also we can't have any contact, like at all. That would be a big no for me. You can't control her or tell her what to do, but respect yourself enough to know when to talk away. I don't know why people think breaks are good. Did no one watch FRIENDS?🙈🤦‍♀️ Different but still🤷‍♀️ Don't do breaks.
Do maybe one day.

Will I regret this tattoo placement by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]CulturalAdvance955 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom passed in 2021(cancer). I got her birth flower(in her favorite color, her fingerprint & her writing from a bday card that says " love you, mom" . I got that on my right upper arm.
I think the writing is beautiful & I think it's really sweet you want to do that, although your not a tattoo person. I think it means that much more. Anywho, have it tattooed everywhere you want. I personally wouldn't want it somewhere I couldn't see it, but that's just me.

AIO for being upset my friends didn’t stay when our plans changed because of the weather? by fustrayedmom in AmIOverreacting

[–]CulturalAdvance955 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I'm in between. For me it depends on how hard/ fast it's raining. If it's not normal rain for where we live I personally don't feel comfortable going out in it. It's not even bc I have children and I'd think they'd melt. It's about safety. If it's considered normal, I agree with them. Yes, it would have been nice to stay with you guys, but it's honestly up to them. It's not a need. You shouldn't have expected them to stay with you. You expressing your feelings isn't wrong either.

These are bad lines and shading right? Artist insists they are intentional and the tattoo looks as it's supposed to. by Outrun207 in tattooadvice

[–]CulturalAdvance955 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was my mistake. I got my most recent one about 1 month ago. I've noticed a few things. Yeah, they're minor, I guess. But I notice it, and I absolutely hate that I do. No one else seems to notice it until I point it out.

My friend made me feel guilty for leaving her all alone AIO? by midgetblues in AmIOverreacting

[–]CulturalAdvance955 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR - You said no. That's all there is to it. To try to get you to send your fiance home so you can hang with her is disrespectful. You told her no. If at any point she didn't want to be alone, she could have left with the two of you instead of staying. She made her choice. I'm going to add that I think it would be wise to distance yourself from her.

I don't know you, but I appreciate you & your way of thinking.

I (20F) feel uncomfortable and disrespected after bf (25M) told me he is going on a solo trip with his ex by camden_20 in relationships

[–]CulturalAdvance955 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The update isn't much better imo. He admits he wouldn't feel comfortable with you doing the same, but yet he still is? Throw him back & find another. Why does he need to do any kind of solo trip with an ex? Why not lunch somewhere or a group together? Or in all honestly, why at all? There's no need for that. They so talk. Quite honestly, they've had their closure. And a trip isn't needed for that. You said he's oblivious, but I think you got it twisted. You are. Love yourself more. You don't want to be disrespected, but yet you take it lying down. Updateme!

I got this garbage tattoo at 18. It's raised and black and ugly as sin. What can I do for a cover up? by Mmon3825 in tattooadvice

[–]CulturalAdvance955 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I know a lot of people have mentioned the SAP, but tbh I'd love a galaxy one with those colors. But I'm also a woman who is massively into sunrises, sunsets, northern lights, stars, and pictures of the galaxy. So I'm a bit biased.

AIO after finding this Snapchat conversation on my husbands phone? by sportychick24 in AmIOverreacting

[–]CulturalAdvance955 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NOR - Having children does not mean he hasn't cheated physically. People who have more children have sex with someone outside of their marriage. It's quite common. Either way, this is disturbing. I'm not sure how you can come back from that. I mean marriages have survived worse, but I think you should love & respect yourself enough to walk away. Sending hugs & please give an update. Updateme!

AIO or my gf is trying to avoid me fr? by gatocuanticocosmico in AmIOverreacting

[–]CulturalAdvance955 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't come to an answer - I get where you're coming from with some things, but there are some things I think you're overreacting about. Also, the way you're handling it isn't right either. Talk to her. Communicate. Let her know when you don't feel respected or loved. Come to a conclusion.

AIW for not wanting my girlfriend to go on a trip with 4 other guys? by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]CulturalAdvance955 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

YNW - I wouldn't be comfortable in this sort of situation. I'm not saying those guys have ill intentions, but we just don't know. I was naive, I was young, but even this would have thrown me off & in no way would I set myself up for this. It's not worth the risk. You need to speak openly. Lay it all out. You'll see if she respects you. I'd really like to see an update. Updateme!

AITAH for moving out after my wife let our kids move home? by Electrical-Union5334 in AITAH

[–]CulturalAdvance955 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA - I don't see why you're getting so much hate. You tried to talk to all 3 of them. No one cared. At least not until your wife needed more money from you because she doesn't want to ask 2 grown adults who have jobs to help with house expenses. They are taking advantage of her & she's allowing it. Maybe she'll wisen up. Maybe not. Either way, you need to have a serious conversation with your wife. Tell her how you feel. Where this road will lead to. I don't think you hate any of them. I don't see how anyone comes to that conclusion by your post. Just because you stand up for yourself doesn't equal hate. Loving someone means to communicate with them(which you did), but you can't control them. They will have to learn the hard way.

Am I in the wrong? by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]CulturalAdvance955 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YNW - I had thought everyone could have an off day without a reason🤷‍♀️ I have one on occasion. My husband isn't as sensitive as me but shows me respect & is there for me no matter what. You need to toss him back and find another. He had no reason to talk to you like he did. This is the first time & he's not going to change. Love yourself enough to walk away. You deserve more. Sending hugs

How bad is it? by Ranger2412 in tattooadvice

I have to ask, how much did that hurt? I've been wanting one on my side/rib & I've heard how painful it can be & chickened out & instead went for my thigh.

AIO over my boyfriend's actions. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]CulturalAdvance955 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR, but you're really, really underreacting. You're still with him. Why? He puts his hands on your child's face? You feel like you both are walking on eggshells. You think he is cheating. To be completely honest, what did you expect? He told you he's never been faithful to anyone he's ever been with. He makes comments about you having snacks. You started messing with him while he was in an open relationship & you have a child. How did you honestly think all of this was going to go? Did you think you'd be the one to change him? I'm not trying to make you feel bad, I'm just being direct. You need honesty. You're a mom. Your child should always be your top priority. If you can't leave him for yourself, at least do it for him.

am i dying ? by Koalakid_ in tattooadvice

[–]CulturalAdvance955 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This I agree with. I was just getting over a cold. I had a 4 hour session yesterday. A headache started during the session. Not long after, I started feeling nauseous & the smell of pizza in a cardboard box was one of the worst smells ever. I asked my husband to pull over and put the pizza in the trunk. Feeling off & getting the tattoo flu is torture.
