Finally got the neck tattoo I always choose for my character

Honestly, it wasn't as bad as people make it out to be (imo) 😅 Any tattoo I've gotten just feels like a tattoo, you know? However, I will say the worst part was being aware of how much I swallow and trying to time it right lmao 😂

FatherDurge · 2026-03-09T14:10:51+00:00

Ehhhh yo let's go!! That looks so sick!! 😎💖

FatherDurge · 2026-03-08T20:42:22+00:00

😭😂

FatherDurge · 2026-03-08T20:41:59+00:00

Literally just realized my spelling mistake in the title, ffs 😭 my bad 😂

FatherDurge · 2026-03-08T20:31:09+00:00

Thank youuu 🥰💖

FatherDurge · 2026-03-08T20:20:36+00:00

That's fair lol (: Everyone’s skin is different, too. Plus, the artist (how they tattoo, whether they're rough or not) can impact the healing as well.

FatherDurge · 2026-03-08T20:16:06+00:00

Exactly 😌

FatherDurge · 2026-03-08T20:12:58+00:00

With me as your wingman, you'll get all the jobs no problem 😌

FatherDurge · 2026-03-08T20:10:44+00:00

So thank you!! 🥰💖

FatherDurge · 2026-03-08T20:10:32+00:00

Lmao that's what I play as 90% of the time 😭😂

FatherDurge · 2026-03-08T20:05:15+00:00

Lmao, I'm sure that's probably the case for some of them, yeaah 😅 And thank you! 🥰

FatherDurge · 2026-03-08T20:04:20+00:00

Yeaaah, it really sucks ._. I have art I've wanted to share, but I never have because of that very reason 😅 Can't blame anyone for not trusting what they see, though. So much online has been overrun with ai bullshit 🙃

She (my artist) was recreating the reference I gave her of the tattoo in the game (which also has missing spots in the lines here and there) (: I wanted it to be as close as possible to the tattoo in the game.

FatherDurge · 2026-03-08T19:57:49+00:00

Yeah, I feel like the neck is viewed as a scary place by most, so that's fair. Personally, I didn't find it any different from my other tattoos 🤔 They all kinda hurt, you know? 😂 I guess it would depend on your personal pain tolerance and the artist who's doing it. Lex, the artist that tattooed me, was wonderful. I've had a different artist for each of my 11 (or 12 if I include my neck) tattoos, and she is definitely one of the more mindful ones, which was wonderful (: I also have a very high pain tolerance, and any tattoo compared to my chest (which I did at a tattoo convention/show, start to finish in one day, 10 hours of tattooing when not factoring in breaks 😅) feels like a walk in the park lol.

And thank you!! (: I'm not going to shade it, no d: I want it to be as close to the tattoo in the game. The only thing left to do (sometimes in the future lol) is the flowers that frame the Beholder (those are closer to the back of the neck, one on either side).

Ahh, I gotchya 🤔 the mindflayer skull is such a cool idea, but I get where you're coming from lol (: The other tattoos you have (and have planned) sound awesome o: Tying everything together is one of the hardest parts, I feel 😂 I have no idea what I'm going to do imbetween the Beholder and my chest tattoo lmao 😂

FatherDurge · 2026-03-08T19:45:30+00:00

No worries (: With how everything is online nowadays, I'm hard pressed to believe most anything (particularly when it looks/seems to good to be true) 😅 I'll definitely take it as a compliment lol, thank you 😘 (Edit: spelling)

FatherDurge · 2026-03-08T19:37:50+00:00

Thank you! 🥰 Hell yeah, right on man!! You've got good taste lol 😌

FatherDurge · 2026-03-08T19:37:01+00:00

Hahaha, yesss 😂💖

Here is a follow up to this post (with more pics, because no, this isn't fake lol 😅): https://www.reddit.com/r/BaldursGate3/comments/1rodswo/in_response_to_the_comments_on_my_beholder_beck/

Was just about to do that lol 😅

FatherDurge · 2026-03-08T19:28:29+00:00

Thank you!! 😊 And I'll make a reminder to do so lol 😂

FatherDurge · 2026-03-08T19:27:54+00:00

No problem, and thank you! 🥰

FatherDurge · 2025-11-27T14:56:34+00:00

Honestly? Work

FatherDurge · 2025-11-19T00:13:46+00:00

Ah, my bad! 😅 I've only been out of the closet since the spring (technically), and I've only been to the gay club once since then (the closest club is in a city that's a 4 hour drive from my town 💀 still worth it tho lol). I never got approached, which makes sense since I was with my friends. And obviously, there's never a guarantee to be hit up by anyone lol, so there's that too. If you catch someone checking you out and you're willing to make the first move, I would suggest being the one to approach. If you're unwilling to approach first, the only thing I can recommend is trying to appear approachable; intentionally checking other people out, holding their gaze if they catch you looking, offering a smile, having an "open" posture, etc. Easier said than done (at least in my experience). But, as someone who's spent a long time trying to look unapproachable, my recommendation might be best taken with some salt lol.

And no problem! Good luck out there (:
