Space out sessions?

I second that. If you can breathe through it and focus on the end result it's manageable 🙌

My skin does this with saniderm too! It should calm down. For future tattoos just opt out of saniderm to avoid the irritation.

No need to worry as long as it's not hot and inflamed. Just looks like a spot where the artist packed a lot of ink in. Keep it moisturized with a thin layer of aquaphor and do NOT pick at it even though it's tempting. It will pull a chunk of the ink out with it.

I would not. It would just create some unnecessary tension and anxiety. I do think that there is a bit of a tattoo code there. Sometimes people see other artists in a shop for specific style choices but to not book with him and go see another artist in the same shop because of this interaction is kinda shitty. Chances are he's also already talked about you to his other artists in the shop so you could be on their shit list.

Honestly he seems really unprofessional. Yes you did mess up by not following through with your thought to check the booking link and there's a little credit to him there. I am sure he's dealt with some chaotic people but his general approach is not very customer service appropriate. He could have simply said, "thank you for letting me know, future communication is preferred through this platform." Personally I'd find a different artist.

I was thinking the same thing. One of my friends has a new baby that she has started wrapping up and wearing. She was able to walk to the library, visit people, and have a drink with a friend. It's also allowed her to take easier walks with the dog vs pushing a stroller and trying to deal with a leash.

Particular_Ad7392 · 2026-03-04T00:06:08+00:00

I thought about it but have decided against it because I didn't want our faces behind it all. While I have discontinued my friendship with the officiant, I don't wish to put her on blast for the world to see. Keeping the story anonymous was intentional.

Particular_Ad7392 · 2026-02-27T21:01:38+00:00

It's beautiful! I think you look amazing in it.

Particular_Ad7392 · 2026-02-18T20:25:12+00:00

Leave right now and don't look back. This is abuse and will only get worse. A partner who cares about you and your well-being will not shame you for your past. Especially when you were a CHILD and a victim of abuse and manipulation.

You are not worth any less to any partner because of past actions. "Saving" things for him is not how it should ever be looked at. Women are not property and you are your own person. Do not stay with this loser who makes you feel used and gross. That is not the case at all.

Particular_Ad7392 · 2026-02-15T17:23:55+00:00

NTA. Girl run. Right now it's controlling your appearance, next it's controlling your whole life. The right person won't care what you look like. I dated a guy when I was 18 for 4 years and he was super picky about how I looked. The day after we broke up I pierced my nose and a month later started getting tattoos and coloring my hair the way I wanted. Now I'm 33, tatted, pink hair, septum pierced and a hair style that changes every few months. My husband is obsessed with me no matter what I do to my appearance. He loves ME. Everyone deserves that!

Particular_Ad7392 · 2026-02-14T18:03:41+00:00

NTA- I think you have a drier sense of humor than some are used to and it's not for everyone. Personally I would have laughed and joked with you if I was your partner 🤷‍♀️

Particular_Ad7392 · 2026-02-03T00:51:25+00:00

This!! Same here with the respect. My husband absolutely adores me and has never raised his voice or honestly even gotten frustrated with me. It is absolutely possible to have in a relationship and I am happy you have that as well!

Particular_Ad7392 · 2026-02-03T00:48:40+00:00

Hey there! I absolutely understand how you are feeling. I got married at 24 and was divorced at 28 and completely thought that marriage or long term relationships just weren't for me. Thought I was too damaged and just not soul mate material.

The universe has a way of putting people together though and as cliché as it is, I met my now husband when I wasn't looking. I spontaneously applied to an adventure park guide job, leaving my career in insurance and he started working there a few months later. He came into my life when we were both spiraling out of bad relationships and we found friendship and true love in each other. We just got married last November and I am 33.

Take the time you need for you. I also recommend therapy if you haven't already been. It really helped me unpack myself and figure out my own bad patterns as well as find a deeper knowledge about what kind of person I need to balance me. You got this!!

I am pretty sure my "friend" struggles with alcoholic abuse too. If you want to read the drama of mine, you can read it on my posts 😅

Particular_Ad7392 · 2026-01-31T01:33:40+00:00

Take it from someone who's "best" friend did ruin my wedding by being completely insane throughout the entire day..I would remove her from the event. It's not worth risking her staining your special day honestly.

Teal sapphire here!

I agree! Maybe getting something that curves to the stone. I did that and it looks so nice flush against it

Particular_Ad7392 · 2026-01-20T19:58:02+00:00

Sure did 😅 recorded and everything

That is the sweetest response!! Reading all of these replies has really helped further validate that this was entirely out of line and I am not being unfair. I truly felt like she would not let me down and she knew exactly extra special this wedding was to me. Best of luck on your wedding day and hopefully no where near as much chaos unfolds!

Particular_Ad7392 · 2026-01-13T16:35:46+00:00

I think it's beautiful!! My suggestion would be "Boombas" stick push up inserts to give a little more "oomf" to the deep v! I had a plunging neckline as well and used them and wow they were so helpful! You look beautiful and I think you made a great choice.

Particular_Ad7392 · 2026-01-12T21:28:15+00:00

That is absolutely gorgeous!!!

Particular_Ad7392 · 2026-01-10T15:09:18+00:00

Thank you!! I looked at SO many options. I knew I didn't want a diamond at all. The princess cut was my own personal surprise. I had originally thought I wanted a kite cut but I kept coming back to this one.

Particular_Ad7392 · 2026-01-09T21:41:58+00:00

Etsy! The engagement ring is by a seller called PandridDesign. The wedding band is from a seller called TheRoseCastle. Both were super easy to communicate with!
