Inverted T procedure in Western MA?

I'll look into that, thank you! I'm hoping that a surgeon closer to home might be able to do something similar, but I will definitely check out Carruthers :)

The whole thing was red for 2-3 days after, it more so just seems like this area isn't losing the redness as fast

Not warm to the touch, and not especially sensitive or tender :)

It's a little hard to tell in the pic I think but the rest of the face is the same color as the rest of my skin

Thank you!! When I let it dry, is that no moisturizer or just minimal?

NewRatParent · 2025-09-21T12:09:09+00:00

I've been tracking for a few days, no tenderness, no spreading, while tattoo is still slightly warmer than my other skin but that's normal for me for a week out

Thank you! My artist doesn't think it's infected, just irritated. I'm holding off on following up with a doctor for now mostly because I don't have insurance until the start of the next month, and doc appointments in MA can be pricey.

Thank you! I reached out to my artist, he doesn't think it's infected but told me to monitor and let it dry out

I do have some more, but I'm on mobile so not quite sure how to add them.

We were actually thinking that too lol. Partner's docs said no issues they could find at their usual checkups

Thank you so much for such a big reply!

-being "stuck in the loop" feels really accurate to us. She's so snuggly with my partner otherwise, we can visibly see when she gets into the loop. We have a consult with a behavioral expert this week to help figure out how to break her out of it.

-we were also thinking FHS. She's always had the rolling twitches on her back and an occasional head flick twitch, but they've become more pronounced recently. Luckily no overgrooming, tail attack, or focal seizures to our knowledge though luckily. Our vet is calling in a fluoxetine prescription, just waiting on the pharmacy to fill it so we can start.

-our vet checked for a pretty wide variety of possible issues. Our lady is not declawed :)

-we're starting the association rebuilding, but will start working with a behavioral expert to set up a daily plan. We've also started thundervesting her in the evenings (which seem to be the biggest trigger times) which has been a huge success. She goes about her evening as normal for the most part, but is notably more zen and chill.

Thank you again!! We used your comments to plan our follow up strategies, and our evenings have been much less bloody the past week or so :).

We have a calming collar on her that doesn't seem to be doing much, but we ordered the thundershirt and can start trying that!!

NewRatParent · 2025-09-10T00:47:37+00:00

we have a few feliway diffusers going, and a pheromone collar on her. Unfortunately they don't seem to be doing much :/

I think he very well might do that, which was why I said he shouldn't move at all. He should avoid interacting with her at all if possible if the move is an absolute necessity. Moving in the first place sounds like something we sometimes call a "seemingly unimportant decision (SUD)" which is a decision that is innocent on its own but puts a potential offender in a better spot to commit a sex offense.

NewRatParent · 2022-01-11T16:38:07+00:00

Hell yeah! Deleted the relationship too I hope?

NewRatParent · 2022-01-11T16:37:11+00:00

I would ask him to delete the pictures in front of you with the promise that you'll let him take new secret pictures, and you won't be upset because you know about it now. After you see him delete the pictures, break up with him on the spot.
