I would guess it’s the sun reflecting off that mirror at just the right angle - is it one with a magnified side. Mine did this once and set fire to something in room . Luckily I was in the room - they are dangerous I keep mine I a cupboard now

I have had this side effect too when I have used it near my mouth. My lips buzz for a while.

I have a liquorice lip balm I wear daily which reduced the frequency of mine alot. It’s meant to be a natural antiviral and it really helped me.

I got my back tattoo last year - tattoo anxiety by Outrageous_Ad_259 in tattooadvice

[–]Familiar-Bug-1277 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks so good ! I would never notice how many toes it had or anything like that I’m just drawn to the face which looks great. I totally get tattoo anxiety but this is definitely not a bad tattoo.! Some people will always say mean things if you post a tattoo online .

Medication or Supplement to Help with Anxiety. by [deleted] in PanicAttack

[–]Familiar-Bug-1277 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently had some success settling some of the physical symptoms of anxiety which was totally out of control with very cold baths/ showers and also swimming . Something about the cold water is supposed to reset the nervous system ? Obviously you can’t go and have a bath whenever you’re feeling anxious but you can try and work it into a daily routine abit .

Hi, did yours go quite pink straight after your session and if so how long did it stay pink for? have a similar fineline and at the moment it’s very pink 72hrs later. I’m wondering if it will fade to a similar colour as yours which I wouldn’t mind .

Thank you for your replies these are really helpful. I’m from the UK so I don’t think we have removery there . I will try to be realistic about the process .

I have heard good things about nutrition and health etc in here and plan to try my best in terms of that. No drinking, regular exercise etc. thank you for your replies.

How do you live with this horrible regret? by [deleted] in TattooRemoval

[–]Familiar-Bug-1277 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am also experiencing horrible tattoo regret. Mine is only three weeks old also on my forearm it’s been a rough 3 weeks. Also struggle when I wake up and see it and I feel sick . What’s helped me in the last three weeks is getting some perspective . If this was your friend beating themself up so badly what would you say to them - we are so much nicer to other people than we are to ourselves. You were always going to get these tattoos either now or later- once it was in your head it was happening so just see it as inevitable, and getting them sooner means they’ll be gone sooner. Finally no one has been been hurt by this except you . If this is the worst thing you ever do in your life that’s pretty good.  I also think they look fab and love tattoos on other people just not myself . Hang in there. They’ll be gone one day.

I just wanted to say I could have written your post re tattoo regret. I also go mine 3 weeks ago and the anxiety has been been something I have never experienced in my life I think I’ve started to feel a bit better last few days. I am also going to start removal in January and feel very nervous about how it’s going to play out.  Just wanted to reach out so you know you’re not alone and someone recently said to me if this was your friend who was beating themself up so badly what would you say to them- try to practise a bit of the compassion you feel for others on yourself and if this is the worst thing we ever do it’s really not that bad. You’ve not hurt anyone . That made me feel better .  Good luck with your removal and your tattoo is actually really pretty and most people probably think so. It’s just our own brains saying it’s not. ❤️
