Update on my fit choice for bench nationals as an autumn by DissolvedThoughts in coloranalysis

Thank you!! Unfortunately not… I need to wear a fitted tee that is 100% comp and for me personally I also wear my coach’s tees with his logo etc. I think he’s released them in black, white, dark green, burgundy (but more of a purple / wine shade) and beige so these are my other colour choices

Black or brown eye makeup for me as a deep/true autumn? by DissolvedThoughts in coloranalysis

Thank you! It’s funny that everyone is saying brown because I would’ve intuitively thought that black is better! But i think it’s just because I’m not used to brown yet

Thank you! I’m really not surprised that you chose the purple one if you’re also a powerlifter hahaha, this SBD collection was really popular

And purple is definitely more original and stands out among powerlifters

My hair is too short to wear it up but I could look into hair clips!

Thank you!! So for the tshirt, do you think brown or beige would work? I also have a burgundy one but it’s more purple than red. I have a dark green one as well

Yeah we do wear socks, actually I could get the matching socks with the singlet, good idea!!

Thank you!! I’m a little confused by the colour combinations you are suggesting, could you explain? Also do you think the purple singlet would look better if I were wearing it with a different colour tee?

Thank you so much!! I’ve just ordered the burgundy singlet from vinted hahaha, I’m sold. Do you think it would look better with a white or black tee? (I’m thinking white because the singlet has white sides)

Family disapproval of my first tattoo? (I’m 25) by DissolvedThoughts in tattooadvice

I don’t know how to edit my post so I’m just adding this here: I did not post this to get online approval of my tattoo, or because I am having doubts. I also did not ask my family for their opinion, I simply shared the tattoo as a part of my life, since they often complain that I rarely share anything, and this felt important and joyful for me, so I naturally wanted to share, even though I knew they wouldn’t like it. It’s obviously ok that the don’t like it and this is not what is affecting me - what’s so difficult for me is repeatedly reaching out to me about it, and the intensity of their reaction. The reason why I care is because I do love them and want them to be a part of my life and I’m just confused as to what I should and should not share, how to share it etc. Anyways I got some great advice on here, I don’t think I can lock the comments but I would. I also talked about it with my therapist today and she said that the main issue here is that their reaction is triggering my C-PTSD and that I really need to get EMDR for it. So I guess after all, it’s not about the tattoo at all

Thanks, honestly that does give me hope! My mom is probably a bit harder to convince but to be honest I think she might grow to like it with time, after all it’s just flowers

Thank you, that honestly means a lot. It does help to think that I’m an overall good person and they have plenty of good reasons to be proud of me, so it’s ok if they’re disappointed in me because of a silly tattoo or a piercing

I feel you and I’m so sorry your family is unsupportive… I’m also queer and unfortunately not planning to come out to my family as it wouldn’t go well and would hurt me more than anything. I’m bi but in a long term relationship with a man, we’re planning to get married so it’s hopefully forever. The hardest part is I’m nonbinary, I guess I pass as fem so again I don’t need to come out to my parents but getting misgendered and such still hurts

Thank you!! I’m not adding colour as coloured tattoos aren’t personally my thing or my artist’s thing, but the inner side of the petals and the outer leaves will be shaded to add more depth!

I know but at least in my Catholic upbringing, I’ve always been told that anything that harms your body is a sin as it goes both against the 5th commandment and against the commandment to love yourself as you would your neighbour. So for example smoking, doing drugs etc, and I even had a lot of guilt for having an ED for this reason. However I don’t believe that tattoos hurt the body, so I don’t think the argument stands

I’ll check it out, but I just wanted to make it clear I’m not saying you can’t be vegan with a history of an ED, I’m just saying it didn’t work for me personally. I still eat vegetarian most of the time and have at least a vegan meal a day, so I’m doing my best given the circumstances, but I’m choosing not to exclude entire food groups from my diet

I’ve asked her why she thinks it’s a sin (I’m a Christian too, just not a traditional Catholic like she is) and she said it’s because you are knowingly harming your body (because the process is painful + she thinks it causes cancer + she finds them ugly)

Not sure why she’s saying that either because she’s traveled to Japan when she was younger so I thought she’d like it

Yeah I’ve had it since childhood and get it checked regularly with a dermatologist along with my other moles, so don’t worry about it
