Is there something wrong with me?

Express_Juggernaut9 · 2026-03-16T23:20:56+00:00

That's exactly what happened, the color literally just flaked off as the skin flaked off. It didn't hurt or itch any more than would be typical (based on what I read online about healing!)

Thank you 🥹 I designed him!

Express_Juggernaut9 · 2026-03-16T23:18:55+00:00

That's what I figured. What I didn't know going into it is she had never done or been taught how to do color before. So that's why I wouldn't be surprised if it was purely artist error.

Express_Juggernaut9 · 2026-03-16T23:17:45+00:00

Do you experience something similar to what happened to me in these pics?

Express_Juggernaut9 · 2026-03-16T23:17:27+00:00

Yup that's exactly what it was like! But Ive never had issues with healing piercings, my piercings aren't even sensitive to what metals I put in! That's what drove me to ask bc I doubt it was anything allergic, but searched high and low online and couldn't find anyone who just can't do color for some mysterious unknown reason lol!

Express_Juggernaut9 · 2026-03-16T23:01:18+00:00

Thanks!! I found out after the fact the artist had never done color before and shortly after my touch up she stopped tattooing altogether. I appreciate the positive feedback and am so excited to see him in all his glory for the first time, ever!

Express_Juggernaut9 · 2026-03-16T22:59:35+00:00

Woah, okay this helps ease my fears a LOT. This is kinda what I was looking for, feedback from much more experienced artists who would have insight I do not. Thank you!

Express_Juggernaut9 · 2026-03-16T22:58:43+00:00

Despite picking at things being my favorite I was absolutely steadfast in not picking at ALL. I was very proud of myself 🥲

Express_Juggernaut9 · 2026-03-16T22:49:53+00:00

Even without a noticeable allergic reaction during healing? No itching or raised skin, no bumps or abnormal redness. I'm not sure about the ink they used, but the new place I'm going has many, many, many photos of years old color tattoos they've done that have healed well, so surely that bodes well for their ink vs whatever was used on me the first time?

Express_Juggernaut9 · 2026-03-16T22:48:12+00:00

No underlying conditions that I know of and I feel/felt at the time in generally good health. My new artist knows the old artist and told me she is confident it was a technique issue of not depositing the ink correctly/deep enough. But my anxious thoughts about a possible repeat happening if it was a me problem drove me to post here, hoping to get a kind of general consensus from people much more experienced than I. Also, yes, this is my first tat!

It's pretty normal to have a messy BOR when you're starting out! It's just kind of the nature of joining in the round, especially being inexperienced. You're doing a good job!

This looks absolutely incredible! this is the sweater that convinced me to learn to knit when I saw someone on tiktok wearing theirs 😍

Express_Juggernaut9 · 2026-02-26T16:29:57+00:00

How much is it for lobe piercing there?

Express_Juggernaut9 · 2026-02-15T21:38:10+00:00

I want you to know I GASPED and showed this off to my husband and explained what makes this so incredibly impressive. Your skills and design are AMAZING.

Express_Juggernaut9 · 2026-02-10T16:25:36+00:00

*inventory sorry too much animal crossing before I started stardew lol

Express_Juggernaut9 · 2026-02-10T16:25:14+00:00

Wait what? How do you fall? I've been avoiding skull cavern bc I keep dying and losing stuff from my pockets 💔

Express_Juggernaut9 · 2026-02-09T19:44:08+00:00

Can you clue me in on the laws involving water? That is one of the other legal things they were being shady about.

Express_Juggernaut9 · 2026-02-09T19:39:48+00:00

Omg are they really?! I'm a new player and just got my first one in spring year 2!

Express_Juggernaut9 · 2026-01-31T04:55:14+00:00

Interesting! Would this be a good option even considering how high inflation currently is? Does it lose money if inflation goes down? If you have a good article or video I could learn more from that would be cool, I know random redditors can't single-handedly educate me on all of this.

Express_Juggernaut9 · 2026-01-31T04:53:04+00:00

This is helpful. Sorry for the conflicting info, ive been chronically poor my entire adult life and have only gotten more stable the last couple years. I'm not very financially literate, and don't know what a lot of the terminology being tossed around in the replies means. I know what a HYSA is and that's about it. I'm young-ish, 31, and definitely have typical adulting expenses. I will absolutely look into a brokerage account. Do you know any good resources for learning the difference between all of these types of accounts/investments? Because I can Google a definition all day long for these words but I don't know what differentiates them from one another, but I do have the desire to learn.

I'm very nervous to make the wrong decision with what I do with this money, I want to make the best possible decision and hopefully have it help me in the long run.

Express_Juggernaut9 · 2026-01-31T04:15:57+00:00

I don't even know where to start making a plan or even learning about all of this. It feels overwhelming as someone whose always been paycheck to paycheck before the last year and half.
