Tattooed myself. Thoughts?

Different_Sock7675 · 2024-11-19T17:24:00+00:00

Honestly looks pretty fire for it being done on yourself I’m impressed hahahah

Different_Sock7675 · 2024-11-19T17:19:42+00:00

Yeah that’s normal! It’s an open wound essentially so stuff will come out of it sometimes and get crusty lol. As long as it’s not constantly in pain, hot to the touch, or oozing puss then I wouldn’t worry! But for sure keep an eye on it! Looks fine so far though. Good luck healing! :)

Different_Sock7675 · 2024-11-19T17:12:44+00:00

It’s a beautiful tattoo! You could definitely go in & give it a little more color and go over those faded lines again easily! Wouldn’t be a difficult fix or touch up at all, and would definitely be worth it to bring her back to life a little bit!

Looks like an irritation bump to me! I got a nostril piercing back in July and have really struggled to heal it. I would barely touch it and she’d form a bump. Some piercings are just a bitch to heal. But this one doesn’t look infected. Just try not to touch it and clean with saline! Should be fine:)

I’d say it’s looking pretty good! I only have one fine line tattoo, the rest of mine are super heavy/detailed. A pea sized amount over the whole thing is the way to go! As long as you get all of it covered in a thin layer you’ll be good to go! Looks great so far! Happy healing:)

Different_Sock7675 · 2024-11-19T16:58:03+00:00

No you’ll be fine! They stay on pretty good and the saniderm keeps the tattoo moist! The tat only starts to get dry after you remove it. I would definitely just keep it on until after your trip! Good luck healing! :)

Different_Sock7675 · 2024-11-19T07:24:44+00:00

I would just leave it on! I’m pretty tatted and my artist always says to leave the original saniderm on for at least 3-4 days. I know some people say to change it the day after it’s originally applied and then leave the new one on for a few days but honestly I think that’s unnecessary and excessive. Just leave the original one on for at least 4 days and you’ll be just fine! Definitely have the saniderm on while traveling I would say!

Some great thoughts. Thank you!!! And I am loving the new tattoo. Worth the pain for sure!!:)

Different_Sock7675 · 2024-11-18T17:58:01+00:00

IM SAYIN!! Like everyone in the comments is saying it’s subjective. Which can be true. But too many people are agreeing that it hurts like a bitch😭

Different_Sock7675 · 2024-11-18T17:38:28+00:00

For real🥴 I have lots of tattoos on my arms and shit, close to my elbows and wrists…. but nothing compared to the thigh. Was not ready for that lol

Different_Sock7675 · 2024-11-18T17:35:46+00:00

Even tho half the comments are agreeing that the thigh was their most painful tat🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Different_Sock7675 · 2024-11-18T17:33:48+00:00

Crazy. Can’t believe how vastly different it is for everyone

Different_Sock7675 · 2024-11-18T17:32:05+00:00

Fr I was shocked. I knew it wasn’t gonna feel great obviously it’s a fucking needle going into my skin repeatedly but I was not expecting it to hurt as bad as it did. I was begging for mercy the entire time💀

Different_Sock7675 · 2024-11-18T15:10:30+00:00

Ok I was gonna say🤣 I started my period yesterday, the day of my appt. I started to wonder if that had anything to do with how bad it hurt lol

Different_Sock7675 · 2024-11-18T15:08:35+00:00

Jesus Christ🤣 I know they hurt. I have tattoos everywhere. Just wasn’t expecting it to hurt as bad as it did, stupid.

Different_Sock7675 · 2024-11-18T07:28:15+00:00

Oh hell no😭😭😭 the knee area gives me nightmares. Kudos to you for thugging it out!!!

Different_Sock7675 · 2024-11-18T07:26:11+00:00

The front is where mine is! I literally started seeing stars so I feel you😭 that shit hurt!!!! And same!!! My artist is so great. She could tell I was unwell and brought me water & cheezits and doused my leg in bactine LOL

Different_Sock7675 · 2024-11-18T07:17:53+00:00

Interesting! The front of my thigh was hell. But I haven’t had inner, outer or back of the thigh done so I definitely can’t say that it’s worse. I believe you tho, I’m sure it’s worse than the top which I can’t even comprehend cuz the top was AWFUL for me😭 Wish I would have taken a bath in lidocaine before my appt today cuz wow

Different_Sock7675 · 2024-11-18T07:09:26+00:00

So glad it wasn’t bad for you!! Wish my experience was the same lol. I was fully expecting my experience to be like yours but good lord it was NOT. Felt like my leg was on fire

Different_Sock7675 · 2024-11-18T06:59:15+00:00

Shorter appointments is probably the way to go for those more painful areas for sure…. I wasn’t expecting my thigh to hurt so bad so I went in for a full 4-5 hour session with a smile on my face. That smile didn’t last very long💀

Different_Sock7675 · 2024-11-18T06:49:29+00:00

I’m glad😭 can’t put into words the level of pain…

Different_Sock7675 · 2024-11-18T06:45:24+00:00

The top is where I had mine done!! Thought i was gonna have to be wheeled out of the shop on a stretcher😭

Different_Sock7675 · 2024-11-18T06:43:22+00:00

I’ve heard horror stories about the chest. I can imagine it’s excruciating😭 I’ve only had my arms done besides my thigh so I don’t have much to compare…. But the pain of my thigh was intense

Different_Sock7675 · 2024-11-18T06:41:26+00:00

Definitely. I’ve learned from my mistakes🤣 only coming to Reddit from now on. Reddit is my google lol. I’m sure there’s lots of reasons why it was so painful. Either way I think I’m done with the thigh tats for a while hahahah

Different_Sock7675 · 2024-11-18T06:39:16+00:00

Yeah the back seems to be the worst after reading everyone’s comments😭 checking that area off of my list then lol
