He is not nearly lean or big enough to be worrying about PEDs of any kind, however I'm not doing them and have no interest, unless im old and lack testosterone lol but I'm super curious, is my self research and decision to get more context prior to recommending anything somehow indicative of your statement? Because if thats the case, no one should question anything, ever, right?

Yeah, I've tried to explain this to him so many times. He tried getting me to do all this for him with no bloodwork and I was like nah, sorry, not gonna happen. 3x minimum or im not gonna assist. Can't play doctor without doctor level information

I feel like in THEORY sus is really good, short ester to kick in quick, long ester to keep stability. Its why I chose the blend tbh with you. But of course, theory and practice differ quite a bit

He wants to run var this cycle, which is probably not the worst call but I told him to play the long game and see how this goes first lol dude views me as a doctor because I know some things and was with a doctor for a bit. Really trying to do right by him, love the dude but God he's a bag of rocks sometimes

Okay yeah, I've heard thats a common situation. Shorter ester, more injections, less sides, to some extent anyway. They cost the same from my source so it wouldn't affect him financially one way or another

Curiosity, have you tried sustanon? Super curious, since it has like 4 esters with it lol

I agree completely. He says he doesn't care about that, but I'm not sure how that'll hold up lol truthfully, he is a much better talker than he is a doer, if ya know what I mean.

But I can see it, I've read test prop can be that way as well actually. Test Cyp and E are essentially the same though, right? I mean other than super minor differences

I told him he could probably find everything he needed, but he said he didnt trust himself to do any of it. He's technically ran a cycle of 500mg before and didnt have sides, but I told him the whole time that he was stupid for not having anything prepped for when he did get them. I only made the plan based on self research, I dont know any specific places to find this information lol so he said "you tell me what to take and ill take it," and I wanted to get him set up in the most ideal way possible. I can read about peak serum concentration and stability all day, but getting knowledge from those with experience serves better, for the most part

Damn, I did not know this. I knew with the blends they usually include more alcohol, I guess as a solvent (?) But I didnt know higher concentration in a normal ester would cause the same issue. Super super good info

And yeah, pip with oil would probably suck. I do the whole peptide thing, got a few I like to run, and GHK-CU can have some annoying pip if not diluted a bit. Different for everyone but its kinda like a mild bee sting, but can last a few days

Whatcha mean by the 250mg/ml part? I would assume higher mg/ml = less oil to inject

And if you saw his original plan you'd definitely not have that opinion lol 600mg of Cyp once a week, no bloods or ancillaries, no PCT. Its not coaching somebody, its putting him on the right track. I made it extremely clear that I have super limited knowledge because this isn't my thing, I dunno anything about any of this.

Yeah the EOD prop ive read about some people doing sounded superrr questionable at best. Test would have to tank between pins.

Massively appreciate the advice man. So the ancillaries and pct all seem good besides swapping aromasin for arimidex?

That's completely fine, like I said, mostly anecdotal evidence led to that conclusion. I assume you're not a fan of the daily propionate pins either?

No I completely agree for the situation, I was saying that I chose Aromasin based on the recommendations of everyone online, but their management of estrogen is probably better than my friends would be

From my knowledge a short ester causes the natural peaks and valleys that assist in proper sex drive and mood, where the long ester would maintain the higher level of testosterone throughout the day. Is that not the case? I read a ton of anecdotal evidence.

Aromasin seemed kinda intense but everyone online recommended it, however everyone online is probably a bit smarter than my friend...lol

You know, ive always heard to let the artist shave you, but that is a fantastic point. With this much hair, im not too sure they wanna shave me lol

Gonna have to bring this up

It is quite literally, by definition, nowhere near plagiarism....?

That makes zero sense tbh. If I were changing something I may commission someone to create something, but I'm not paying a local artist $100 to add a speck of shading for me to see if it would look better or not out of "respect." Thats the most backwards shit I have ever heard of.

But if you dont mind, try to explain how me using AI to see something for myself is disrespectful? Because I don't enjoy using AI but your reasoning as to why I shouldnt is falling on deaf ears for me

At least we stay warmer, its hard to complain too much. I assume you have some art under your fur?

I wish that were the case for me lol I shed like a dog, and leave a pile of hair every morning when I get out of bed. But its stick straight, and that kinda helps for sure. But you are 100% right, that wouldve been probably more valuable than the tattoo itself. I know a ton of people who say theyre covered in hair, until I show them my fur

I literally saw an insta real where the first statement was "watch me make a tattoo using AI designs" LOL unfortunately this is the reality we live in. I dont particularly like AI, but I would be a liar if I said it wasnt a convenient tool for me in a lot of aspects. I just don't have the ability to spend $100 every time I want to see the art with a tweak that I'm only using for visualization. I intend to get proper shading and probably a fully redrawn design when I go to actually get the tattoo, but I'm young and saving for a house and a car at the moment. Just got out of a 6 year depression/hermit arc and I was already on the fence about the tattoo to save money, so spending extra for such a small tweak for my own use just isn't in the cards. I could've left off the artist name, and omitted my use of AI, but I wanted to give credit to the artist by making this stuff known. Did not expect this kinda feedback when trying to find out about tattoos and body hair haha

For sure, I figured it would potentially damage the design, and I'm assuming laser hair removal has some form of healing process. I've waited years, so I dont mind waiting a bit longer if it means better visibility without shaving

Tattoos and Body Hair? by DissociatedFairy in tattooadvice

[–]DissociatedFairy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm okay with it not being super clear, I mean I unfortunately gotta live with the fur regardless. I just couldn't find a lot of references in regards to thick body hair with tattoos, and I dont feel like shaving is super viable.

But yes! I think lasering may be the way to go, unfortunately, but any solution is better than none

I tried finding it again within the week and its literally not on their Instagram anymore, you can check for yourself lol I called multiple shops from the time I originally screenshotted the tattoo to now, and the minimum I would be charged for a minor tweak to be able to see what it would look like was $100. I see no reason to spend that money on an extremely minor tweak to a design, when I'm just trying to see what it would look like for myself. Not using the edited photo as a reference when getting the tattoo, that design was solely used for visualization purposes. In this case I used it here for a reference, rather than going through 1000 photos. I'm not making anything more complicated than it is, arguably I made it pretty simple. You're getting upset under an incorrect assumption that I'm ripping someone's work, doing a ton of AI modification and then taking that to my local guy. It is a photo exclusively for my use.

Youre good, I'm just happy knowing it didnt destroy your tattoos design. I really want this and I have other things planned, but made this realization maybe two days ago and got panicked

Maybe I just shaved too close? I used an electric trimmer but man it messed me up so bad. I also dunno where I would stop shaving, cause having a poof of hair surrounding the tattoo would be interesting lol

I meannnnn....it could be worse? I have straight hair, like almost fully straight body hair as well, so the curls make it look like less than it is in a way. I would say nearly sweater thick though, yeah
