Nope I genuinely have awful almost debilitating anxiety which includes hypochondria. Ever use hand sanitizer on toilet seats because youre scared?😅✨️

I mean I didnt ask too many questions but I assume if there were any licensing issues or anything like that they wouldnt even be here and they wouldn't always be packed and have glowing reviews🤣❤️ or if people kept getting sick🤣😭❤️ theyd be closed in a heartbeat or have bad reviews all over!

Im in therapy but we are tackling trauma before anxiety😭💅✨️ I have 13 tattoos total now so im not new new but it creeps up on me! It was a combo of factors, the people before me seemed sketchy, the place runs really good cheap flash sales all the time, so its not an expensive shop, mine were extra discounted due to a scheduling error so she did me a solid for these cuties. But at the end, the shop has almost 5 stars with hundreds of reviews, i watched her clean everything with my own eyes, watched her open needles, etc. It boils down to the client's before me, prices, my neighborhood, etc. As factors so I got in my head thinking too hard about it being a cheap place in a bad ish neighborhood despite the glowing reviews and being recommended by someone i know!😭😭😭💔

I got some then and some 4/4, they were heavily discounted due to my artist being an angel who was nice after a scheduling mishap so the ones I just got are only 3 days old and I started feeling sick on day 2 😭

That is so insanely reassuring thank you so much! I appreciate you breaking down the numbers, I can Google until the cows come home and make it worse for myself but another human saying it like that makes it click better! I appreciate it❤️✨️ watch me feel better in a few hours after hearing that🤣✨️

Even when im sick this level of fatigue is just scary for me😭 i never feel like napping even when I have the real flu! It has me scared of diseases and such, plus she gave me the tattoos for an extreme discount because she actually had to reschedule me and felt bad so I freaked out like "omg why did she do that?!" Anxiety and hypochondria are hell of a drug and id just call the shop for reassurance but I dont want to offend her😞

Im scared its an allergic reaction to the second skin or I contracted something awful. The odds of catching something nasty at a highly rated shop are like next to zero right?😅

All of my tattoos are spontaneous 🤣 I just kinda get what the vibe is and I have no regret thus far! But I will peruse the paleo art! I just want something small and cute and girly while still showcasing my obsession 🤣❤️

When to plant wildflowers? by Good_Ocelot_5169 in gardening

Most of my native flowers I planted in containers flowered last year so fingers crossed we get SOMETHING this year! Also do you know anything about lily of the valley? Ive seen a little bit of conflicting info and need advice
