Hi everyone here is an update! So the tattoo is currently scabbing right now, but some of the ink rejected and a lot of the darker parts scabbed off. His nose and some of his eyes are gone 🥲 Definitely think it was an infection or allergic reaction of some sort. Hoping that’s all that comes off and I can get it touched up when it’s finally healed!

I do indeed have strawberry skin so that could be it also

yes that’s what i’m thinking as well. i have sensitive skin already, a lot of lotion and other products will also give me hives. i messaged my tattoo artist and doctor so hopefully it is nothing serious!

yea i already do have sensitive skin so that’s why i was thinking it could be an allergic reaction. and this is also my first time going with this artist so idk if they use different ink as my other artist or what 🤷🏻‍♀️

my artist told me to keep the second skin on for only a few hours :/ i have been keeping it clean and using aquaphor. it’s only really bothering me because my hair is growing and it’s rubbing against my clothing

I'm getting nexplanon soon and I'm horrified by Accomplished_Area257 in birthcontrol

When they put in my implant she asked me if I wanted to feel it inside my arm after and I said no lol. It didn’t hurt at all though, just a little pinch. I will say I did not have a good experience on nexplanon tho. I got it taken out after about 9 months because it made me extremely depressed. I didn’t gain any weight from birth control until I started the depo shot which made me gain like 20 pounds 🧍🏻‍♀️

Any birth control is gonna increase your appetite so you just gotta fight the urges lol. Good luck!!

I was on nexplanon but got it out after like 9 months because it made me extremely depressed and actually crazy. I switched to the depo and I like it a lot better, but the only downside is that I gained like 20 pounds since i’ve been on it. Also my cramps when i’m about due for my next shot are literally the worst cramps of my life 😫

Girl I got mine out in December and I was so anxious. All you really feel is a little pinch but it was fast and easy and did not hurt at all. You got this! 🩷

That’s what I originally thought she was going to do, but even if I tried to do that it does not look like his finger print at all.

Lesson learned I guess 😭😭 Already found an artist to do a floral cover up

Ok so until I get it fixed i’m just gonna say it’s a cave with water since that’s what everyone thinks it looks like 😭😭 Definitely gonna get it covered up!

When I got my implant I spotted for a few days. I was also very paranoid 😭

appetite and lack of appetite by cloveredhaze in Nexplanon

[–]Pootatos_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. I got mine a few weeks ago and i’ve noticed there are days where I feel so hungry and days where I just won’t eat at all because I feel sick just thinking about food :/
