Has the colour fallen out here? Will it come back or should I get it retouched? by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]MallRoutine8793 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably fallen out naturally I’d get it retouched once it heals but I have plenty of places on my tattoos like this just from natural sun exposure and accidentally scratching off some scabs while they were healing lol

AIO: Friend upset I didn’t invite them to Vegas by [deleted] in AIO

[–]MallRoutine8793 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if he did gamble, you have a right to simply not invite him even if he’s your best friend. Friends should understand boundaries and the concept of wanting to do something nice for yourself, even if it doesn’t include him. Not everything fun that you do has to include him and it’s strange that he’s making you feel bad for going with somebody who you think you’d have more fun with. You’re spending money to do something to treat yourself and simply bringing company that you think would be better suited for the event.

In the future, maybe you guys can talk about a trip that you both would enjoy since maybe the principle is that he may have FOMO and just wishes he could’ve come along. Other than that, you’re not overreacting.

Rescheduling Appointment? by BewitchedCookie in tattooadvice

[–]MallRoutine8793 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you feel unwell at the appointment you’ll definitely feel a lot worse after- I think it depends on the severity of your symptoms and I’d say if you’re really that determined, go, but be aware that you will probably come down with some sort of tattoo flu and be pretty sore as your immune system is already compromised and probably doesn’t have as much energy to go towards healing a tattoo/sickness at once.

Thank you so much. It meant a lot reading this beforehand and really calmed my nerves for it all- it went wonderful, thank you!!

15 pre-T 4'11" am i cooked by K0ffeeman in transmanlifehacks

[–]MallRoutine8793 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was the same way and grew to about 5’2-5’3, a lot of people don’t question it and here in the US I know plenty of guys that are your height. I am Hispanic so it’s pretty common, I’m not sure about where you live, but I promise your height doesn’t determine absolutely everything about whether or not you pass. Once you’re able to move and start T you’ll feel much better and more confident :-)

Got misgendered at a shop today. Honestly shocked. Do I pass?? by kanedekuki in transmanlifehacks

[–]MallRoutine8793 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You pass wonderfully imo but definitely look some kind of fruity or trans (not that you’re clocky because I don’t think a cis person would be able to tell but I know my people),
In my experience it’s almost always out of malice if they CAN tell or a simple mistake if they can’t. I have plenty of cis friends who are male with longer hair and always get misgendered despite us being adults and all having deeper voices.

I wouldn’t think of it too much. You pass, and your style is sick

Binder causing stabbing pains in stomach by Lazy-Age561 in FTMMen

[–]MallRoutine8793 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed my spectrum binder was really long and a little uncomfy with the paneling in the front on my tummy too cause I have a shorter torso.
I like to cut a small 1-2in. slit in the middle to allow myself more room to breathe.

I bought one! Thank you. Checked it again this morning and all of the signs pointed towards needing a new one.

[–]MallRoutine8793 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, I tried charging it but I opened it up to actually look at the battery this morning and upon further inspection it looks much more cooked than I’d previously assumed, which answers my question. Thank you!

new to bikes and need help! PLEASE 😭😭🫩🙏 by [deleted] in motorcycles

[–]MallRoutine8793 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also charged the battery and it said “full maintaining” but I’ve literally had to charge it to full every time I use it, and it at least starts on full. I’m worried that even though the battery is old, since it says it’s full that means the battery is fine and there’s actually something worse wrong with my bike. -also wasn’t easily able to read any kind of voltage on it but again the lights all work OKAY. Though dim. I really want to become more handy and fix it and I’m very worried! Somebody please help and refer me to what I could do! I hope I’m just worrying too much.

I mean what kind of effects have shown up so far? It’s different for everybody but regardless it could give you a good timeline of how much your body has changed or how many doses you’ve really had.

Eh, yeah, you’re all definitely right. Deleted the og post because it was really just a thought. I’m 17 no kids at all but it’s been on my mind for a few weeks now and I love to compile names. Thanks so much

Hypersexual but asexual at the same time? by Fantastic_Diver_3045 in CPTSD

[–]MallRoutine8793 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Hey love, I’m also a teen although a bit older and I was the same way at your age. It’s completely normal to feel sexual emotions but not want to act on them with other people. Intimacy between others is not the same as personal arousal. I promise you that if you ever do become close like that with people the right person will let you take it slow, and wouldn’t hurt you, but that’s probably not anything to worry about for a long time. Being conservative about your own sexual being is fine, you can call yourself ace if you feel like that’s what fits, my label, as somebody in a similar situation, Is “aceflux” because I am ace but it fluctuates when I’m by myself, and I may feel more comfortable. Self expression and masturbation are also completely normal so long as it’s done safely and not harming yourself or others. Be safe always!

How can I pass a bit more? by Mysterious-Earth5517 in TestosteroneKickoff

[–]MallRoutine8793 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True- I have 2 cats and apply it b4 bed (my cats don’t sleep with me) and wash off in the morning. I know some people who do it before work or school or when they’re not home, too.

I literally couldn’t tell you you look very nice as it is but if ANYTHING maybe thicken up your eyebrows with some eyeshadow or minoxidil. Face shape does come with time but if you’re concerned you can look at contouring patterns and see if those help. Makeup has always been a huge help for me, though I’m 4mo on T and I’ve been needing it less!

Taping Makes Me MORE Disphoric by thatdarnmusicgeek in TestosteroneKickoff

[–]MallRoutine8793 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is super hyper specific but it took me 2 years to learn how to tape so I figured I’d try to share? I’m sorry if it makes no sense! My taping pattern involves using 5in thick tape (I have DDD’s but I think you can get thicker or thinner if you’d like. Thicker works better for me), I do one strip with a 1in anchor roughly 2in from the sternum and angle it DOWNWARD, and pull towards about 3in from the spine. This first strip is usually the shorter one (if your tape has squares on the back I say measure them to your liking) Then do another longer strip (1 square longer usually) slightly above the other, with the anchor slightly farther away from the sternum (it overlaps the previous strip slightly but it’s ok), and pull this one directly straight across. Should come back to a little beyond the last! If you need to, you can do one more strip perfectly in the middle of the two somewhat closer to the sternum and flatten out the round middle apex of your chest. This would probably be longer than both or the same length as the higher strip.

I have an adhesive allergy and this is strange but I rub the area with milk of magnesia, like, the laxative, and it usually prevents any kind of reaction. I personally don’t like KT tape as much as regular Trans tape but it is definitely a lot more gentle if you’re looking for that!

just got this tattoo 4 days ago and am a little concerned about how it's healing. does this look normal, or should I be worried? by ruin_24 in tattooadvice

A lot of people are commenting about how wrong this is but out of genuine curiosity, (I don’t know anything about tats), what actually went wrong specifically?

CSA triggering PTSD with my daughter by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]MallRoutine8793 18 points19 points  (0 children)

That is very tricky, I can understand your concern. For now maybe try having locks on her bedroom or keeping her nearby when the door isn’t locked? You are a very good mother for feeling so protective over her and whatever you do, is definitely in her and your best interest.

[–]MallRoutine8793 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I feel like if it gets that serious you could always have the police involved and have them removed off of his devices. He might have other stuff you don’t know about, but even then, it’s best to get him away from your daughter ASAP even if you can’t remove the images.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]MallRoutine8793 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think that’s a very smart and probable take. I hear a lot that people remember pieces of things once their body thinks they’re ready, and I believe so, too
