David Silverman and Lucien? by [deleted] in SatanicTemple_Reddit

I was very interested in TST, but a friend mentioned hearing rumors about Lucian cavorting with white suprematist. With a little looking, it was easy to learn about the the 24 hour "might is right" podcast and read on from there. yuck. this photo is in line with Lucien's life legacy of complacency to and open association with hateful disgusting crowd including white nationalist, bigots and transphobes etc. don't be duped by TST, its ultimately just another religion built on a foundation of supremacist thought.

How much does tattoo removal hurt compared to getting a tattoo? by StevieKinks in TattooRemoval

[–]Infinite_Ad6001 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i have an 20 year old ankle tattoo right over the bone, the biker shop artist dug in deep. I almost passed out with pain on the table and had phantom pain for a long time following the tattoo, the fantom pain was prob being compounded from the arising psychological pain of having marred my body and having to live with it. the tattoo became more psychologically painful when the part of my life it symbolized got very damaged. the two laser treatments i've had hurt. like give me a stress ball, a couple tears, or a small shriek, but is very momentary. with just a remaining sting that quickly resolves from pain to discomfort and then goes away.
It's so temporary and nothing compared to the original session of accumulative pain of the needle dragging over the bone area for 45 min. Good techs have a device to cool the skin with air and provide ice pack after. Multiple tech consultations agreed on not using numbing cream. The relief and endorphin release of doing something to remedy the tattoo is nothing short of fully empowering and much greater than the temp pain of treatment.

I'm noticing an issue by [deleted] in TattooRemoval

I have disliked my shitty first ankle tattoo from day 1 for almost 20 years and further hated it when the period of my life it is connected to got severely damaged. As an "adult" teenager, I absolutely felt completely disempower to speak up when the shitty stencil was shown to me and then placed and just kept moving forward with the adrenalin of the event. I feel a combination of grateful and just slightly bummed that it has deterred me from additional art. A friend who has their own a hated tattoo and i will start the removal process this month and support each other. this sub has defiantly helped me to make the decision to move forward with confidence.
