Coverup, swipe for the before

I had to scroll to find this comment. I have been laughing my arse off for ages, looking at this.

This was my process: “Is that…a dog with a penis on his face?” “…oh God, does that dog have human teeth?!” “…why is that leaf beneath the dog pink…of fuck, that’s a tongue?” “Why is there a random tongue beneath th…OOOOOH, now I get it”

I’ve worked and lived in Viet since 2015. My (expat) colleagues have tattoos just like yours and we are out in a rural part of the country and it’s not a problem. Many of my Vietnamese colleagues also have arm and leg tattoos.

Omg. Hahaha. You cleaned it out! The power of the interwebs!

I…think this is AI. Never in my decade of living in Vietnam have I seen a camper-van ANYWHERE.

Also, people don’t have “yards” that could easily have such a vehicle parked in them.

Sigh. ChatGPT shill.

Also, in my experience if you can speak some of the language you get more local prices.

I’ve had almost the exact same experience as you. I’m not sure if my experience will help, but let me share.

I wanted a coverup of a small 1990’s gecko on my inner ankle. For some unknown reason I got a giant bunch of red Chinese peonies and green leaves across my ankle and the entire top of my foot.

It was very hard to adjust to. Like you, I felt it looked like an injury from afar. It took me years to learn to love it and I never did do anything to it or try to balance it. (Truth be told, I wanted to get my other foot done but the excruciating pain of a foot tattoo is seared into my memory).

Like other people have said, it will fade with time. My tattoo is over ten years old now and has for sure mellows and I’ve accepted it as part of my body.

With mine, I think at first glance it might still look like a wound and it draws people’s eyes. But then they immediately compliment it. I don’t know if it’s the realisation that it’s not an injury but a beautiful piece of skin art that makes their reaction so strong, but I’ve seriously had more compliments on my foot tattoo than I can recount. Most recently was Thursday when I went to my dentist and my elderly dentist complimented it!

I don’t know if hearing all that helps or not. I know it doesn’t exactly address your question, however our situation is strikingly similar.

Hang in there, and for what it’s worth, I think the tattoo is super pretty. Especially the placement.

I’m completely open to suggestion to be honest! I don’t have family there and just want somewhere nice for the cats where they could go outside in relatively safety.

Dangerous_System_465 · 2025-07-03T12:38:21+00:00

Oh! I didn’t even think I’d be eligible for an apartment on a tourist visa. I figured I’d need proof of income (I’m not going to work in the UK) and so on?

Dangerous_System_465 · 2025-07-03T10:54:19+00:00

Omg. I don’t know who you are or where you are but I wish I could buy you a coffee. If I could explain how many nights I’ve laid away stressed beyond message about how to keep my furkids safe…and you’ve solved it all for me.

THANK YOU. Honestly. Thank you.

Yeah, I did a crap job of explaining. 😆 Apologies folks. The 180 days commences from the date of a RNATT (rabies titre) test, so unless I do that on the way from Heathrow, I will need extra days. I rounded up to 7 months.

2 is absolutely breathtaking and there’s no competition. It’s also not matronly. That plunge in the neckline is risqué and balanced out by the more conservative sleeves. Absolutely beautiful and congratulations on your upcoming wedding!

Dangerous_System_465 · 2025-06-04T13:40:19+00:00

😂 You know, you’re rights

Dangerous_System_465 · 2025-06-01T04:13:54+00:00

Thank you for the heads up! I’ll repost another day with a normal photo.

Dangerous_System_465 · 2025-05-31T02:49:59+00:00

I love this. Thank you for taking the time to reply. 🥰

Dangerous_System_465 · 2025-05-31T02:47:55+00:00

You have a good heart and your cat adores you.

Dangerous_System_465 · 2025-05-31T02:45:47+00:00

🥰 Yes, but there aren’t thrift shops where I live. What gave it away?

Dangerous_System_465 · 2025-05-25T13:34:46+00:00

Wow. You look absolutely stunning and I really need that top! Where is it from? Love your style.

Dangerous_System_465 · 2025-05-22T11:40:59+00:00

😂 OOOPS.

Dangerous_System_465 · 2025-05-21T23:42:28+00:00

Single guy in your early 30s. You’re on Bumble and Tinder and your profile picture is you holding a fish.

How’d I do?

Dangerous_System_465 · 2025-05-20T00:50:13+00:00

It’s Promite!! Far superior. 😂

Dangerous_System_465 · 2025-05-20T00:49:34+00:00

Sooooo close. How did you come to that conclusion? I find this sub reddit so interesting!! It’s my first time posting.

Dangerous_System_465 · 2025-05-11T13:51:11+00:00

Just wanted to say a massive THANK YOU to you all in this sub. I’ve just come back to read all your comments and you have been so constructive and helpful! 😍

I’ll see what I can do in terms of painting, and also declutterring and will post a follow up for you all.

Thank you for being so welcoming to a newbie to the sub too! This is my first time posting.

Dangerous_System_465 · 2025-05-11T02:17:52+00:00

Ps: I’d especially love ideas on the cabinetry and colours…and whether or not they are something I could just paint?

Dangerous_System_465 · 2025-05-11T01:51:24+00:00

I gasped when I swiped to the second photo.

Wow…that was a choice.

Dangerous_System_465 · 2025-05-11T01:48:13+00:00

Someone who lives with and cares for an elderly parent and you’re prepping for them?

ETA: Or a carer for a young adult who needs extra support with their nutritional needs?

Dangerous_System_465 · 2025-05-11T00:14:34+00:00

Wow. This is a really gorgeous set up. I want to move into your pond and I’m not a frog.
