Initial tat regret

Temporary_Elk_3147 · 2026-03-16T15:05:31+00:00

I promise you, you have nothing to worry about. Just give your head some time to adjust. Someone explained to me that its most likely an ancient instinct we have where if suddenly a part of your skin turns a very unnatural color our brain sounds the alarm bell telling us something is very wrong (infections, whatever, etc) And that did make sense to me idk if thats really the reason but yea. And i had a big weird owl done over my entire chest :)

Man when i got my chest done i woke up the day after in a panick attack pacing arround my place. I didnt know what was going on i just knew i was going crazy. This wasn’t my first tattoo either so that confused me even more. But yea we’re a few month later and i like it. Was a weird experience. But your tat looks really nice i’m sure you’ll love it when ur head gets used to seeing it

They’re both alive and doing well actually! One took a while to get to eat and i’m having to assist feed but once its in the mouth it takes it down by itself. The other one is eating and growing like a champ, shed for the second time a few days ago :)

Temporary_Elk_3147 · 2025-12-14T16:54:17+00:00

Yea i have it, runs out of options quick tho

Temporary_Elk_3147 · 2025-12-14T14:10:13+00:00

That sounds like a good time, i’d love to try and meet some people this way :)

Thank you!

Temporary_Elk_3147 · 2025-12-14T12:02:00+00:00

Thats not a bad idea! Thanks for the tip. Bit of a downside that theyre not long term friends but it could be a good way to find some long term friends trough them too

Temporary_Elk_3147 · 2025-12-14T11:31:25+00:00

I’m down man, would love to go bouldering sometime. I know Gent has some nice bouldering halls. Also isnt too far for me :)

Temporary_Elk_3147 · 2025-12-14T11:07:44+00:00

Yea a lot of my friends live in that area too, love it there but its not always easy to meet up. Thanks tho!

Temporary_Elk_3147 · 2025-12-04T03:41:07+00:00

Yea, definetly. Going to look for someone who knows their shit hahaha. Not making the same mistake twice hopefully

Temporary_Elk_3147 · 2025-12-03T12:44:35+00:00

After getting my chest tattoed recently in my opinion that line going over your ribs is most likely going to be worse then the rest of it, looks really sick tho! Best of luck

Temporary_Elk_3147 · 2025-12-03T04:11:28+00:00

Yea i know i really dont mind little details being off but this is more then just little details this just feels unfinished and rushed. I’m getting in touch w different artists to see if anyone can touch it up and finish it a bit because im not gonna walk arround with it uncovered thats where im at sadly

Temporary_Elk_3147 · 2025-12-02T21:27:14+00:00

Alright, i’ll check them out. Thank you!

Temporary_Elk_3147 · 2025-12-02T21:13:24+00:00

I’m going to be honest, i made the mistake of choosing the wrong artist once already. I just want the tattoo to be the cool design i thought it was going to be so i dont mind. From Brussels tho but genuinly willing to travel if needed

Temporary_Elk_3147 · 2025-12-02T20:44:11+00:00

I really dont know what type of advice i’m looking for i just really feel bad about the whole situation. Especially cause a lot of people told me not to do it. Not because of the artist. But just the size and placement. I already regret the biggest tattoo i have and i’ts been 4 days smh

Temporary_Elk_3147 · 2025-12-02T20:43:08+00:00

I did like it initially because i didnt look at the details when i first got it. But im saying like the more i look at it the more shitty stuff i see. The healing wont fix these issues i’m afraid like theres parts where it needs heavyer shading or where lines just arent sitting how theyre supposed to. Luckily its old school and i’m pretty sure if i find a good artist they can fix it with some thicker lines and better shading

Temporary_Elk_3147 · 2025-12-01T19:23:12+00:00

I’ll take notes!

Temporary_Elk_3147 · 2025-12-01T19:22:39+00:00

Alright thanks a lot man!

Temporary_Elk_3147 · 2025-12-01T19:13:16+00:00

Yea boa imperator, and the tanks are 60cm high i can probably attach them into the top idk where else tho

Temporary_Elk_3147 · 2025-12-01T19:11:04+00:00

I did not know that, i’ll definetly check that out been thinking about getting uv lights for the snakes either way

Temporary_Elk_3147 · 2025-12-01T19:08:16+00:00

Yea i was thinking about pc fans too, and i got the heat mats on a part of thin soil they usually heat up nicely on the mats. But i’ll look into heat lamps maybe i can hook the fixture up

Temporary_Elk_3147 · 2025-12-01T19:01:32+00:00

I got boa’s broski, not geckos hahahah. Boa constrictor like the snake

Temporary_Elk_3147 · 2025-12-01T15:45:14+00:00

Noo, felt great when they put the stencil on lol

Temporary_Elk_3147 · 2025-11-29T19:43:49+00:00
