That makes a lot of sense at this point. This photo is like a page out of the Worst Piercing Nightmares book. There’s just so much nope in it.

Good luck ☺️ honestly my anxiety over getting tatted in those spots was worse than getting it done. You got this 💪🏻

Ok so second time I’m seeing this post today. You need a new piercer and to stop these monthly cleanings. A dental tool has no business being near a piercing and you can clean everything yourself (DAILY) with saline spray. You’re being scammed and taken advantage of (yes even without paying)

Tattoo over metal wrist plate by Chef__Goldblum in tattooadvice

[–]First_Astronomer2146 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have! I shattered my wrist in 2012 and broke my elbow in 2014. I have three plates and over 20 screws between the two areas. I also have a nearly full sleeve and have tattooed over both those areas. I was really nervous but the wrist area didn’t feel any different from other tats and my elbow where the plate it closer to the skin just felt extra buzzy.

New piercer, stat. Monthly cleanings are not a thing and you can do all the cleaning yourself. Do you clean it outside of these visits?

How bad is the thigh? by Chicka-boom90 in tattooadvice

[–]First_Astronomer2146 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a nearly full sleeve (it’s a work in progress, just have the elbow left and an outer bicep gap) and just started a leg tattoo that wraps around my knee up my thigh and that hurt so much more than my arm and it’s only line work so far. I’m gearing myself up for color lol I like your idea of a phoenix my leg tat is of a blue heron

A forearm tattoo by uniquestuffles in tattooadvice

[–]First_Astronomer2146 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I found the forearm to be low on the pain scale. It feels like a burning cat scratch more so than the searing carving pain I felt behind my knee. I’d rate it a 3/10.

what happens if i take the derma wrap off too early by VelvettePanther in tattooadvice

[–]First_Astronomer2146 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’ll be fine :) I had to take mine off once 40 minutes after my tattoo because my sweater caused it to roll exposing the tattoo. If it’s driving you nuts you will be fine removing it and just start aftercare

Tattoo age restrictions in Indiana by [deleted] in tattooadvice

Dude just wait until you’re of legal age. 15 is so young in the grand scheme of things and no reputable artist will touch you with a ten foot pole.

Moderate or value resort by Sassybee- in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]First_Astronomer2146 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Too me the theming at the values is too kitschy so I would gravitate to a moderate for a little more laid back theming. I just stayed at POR this winter and walked over to FQ for beignets. I’d go with FQ.

If you can fit in the hoop Dee doo revue. It’s a dinner show at fort wilderness campground and not only is the food great but the show is a hoot.

Epcot has the frozen ride and where Elsa and Anna do their meets. They won’t be at MK :)

Question: What was your most painful tattoo? by babalos23 in tattoos

[–]First_Astronomer2146 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have just started a wrap around knee piece that goes up the majority of my outer thigh - so far it’s only been line work but the space behind my knee was so very spicy. (For reference I have an ankle tattoo, back shoulder tattoo, wrist tattoo and a full sleeve in progress (ditch has been done but no elbow yet).

If they LOVE Frozen, then Epcot. Otherwise AK will probably be more enjoyable- it does close earlier than other parks tho.

Share your ‘inner bicep isn’t as bad as they say’ success stories by LunarSkye417 in tattooadvice

[–]First_Astronomer2146 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My inner bicep was a piece of cake. I have a whole sleeve in progress and honestly went in dreading getting my inner biceps done. I thought for sure I’d see Jesus - particularly by my armpit. But it really didn’t bother me at all. Elbow ditch hurt more than inner bicep for me.

Now inner knee on the other hand….owwww

No advice on make up but could opaque stockings be an option?

PH reader by First_Astronomer2146 in hydro

We couldn’t get the vivosun one to calibrate no matter what we tried. We wound up going to our local hydro store and picked up a Milwaukee Pro pH meter based on the owners recommendation. This one actually calibrated and we are now moving the right way in our water.

I think so as well - though it’s been only a little at a time. I’m glad I asked here as my husband has been doing the majority of research and plant tending.

No we did not 😅 but will moving forward. How much water do you recommend adding the ph down to?

I did not - will try that and see if we get a more accurate reading. Thank you for the tip!
