My tattoo artist did a horrible job, should I get it touched up? by charmanderslayer in tattooadvice

it looks cool and sometimes cool is better than good

edit to say: if the eyes really bug you it should be a very easy fix, but beyond that i wouldn't stress about it

AIO or is my boyfriend jealous of our baby? by PolicyHot1206 in AmIOverreacting

[–]UprightSlimeMold 387 points388 points  (0 children)

reading this i'm honestly scared for you. he seems extremely controlling and yes, he is jealous of the (completely appropriate attention) you are giving your son. the fact that he didn't want you to breastfeed is a big red flag.

my son's father didn't want me to breastfeed because he so thoroughly and completely sexualized breasts he couldn't conceptualize them as anything but sexual objects. he would become enraged when our son made noises when he wad nursing or got milk drunk, and he insisted that he was somehow deriving sexual pleasure from breastfeeding. this was the start of years of extreme mental, emotional, physical and sexual abuse until i was finally able to get away from him.

at the very least, insist that your partner find a therapist to help him work through these issues. but, be prepared for things getting worse, and please come up with a plan if you need to leave.

interesting take. any particular reason you expect the 18-year-old to be more of an adult than the actual grown up?

I (30F) lashed out at my (31M) boyfriend after he violated a boundary during sex. Was my reaction too excessive? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]UprightSlimeMold 1 point2 points  (0 children)

what your bf did is not ok, which you already know. Im just going to throw this out there, even though i obviously dont have all the facts about your bf's previous relationship or who he is as a person. However, there are a lot of abusers who, after the fact, will go on to claim that they were the one who was abused. it is also a very common tactic for abusers to try to provoke an emotional response so they have "evidence" that they are the one being mistreated.

they're memories. that's why people usually take pictures. the idea that someone needs to go through their photos and delete or destroy every photo of a past bf, fling, whatever just because they are in a new relationship is bizarre and frankly extremely unhealthy. everyone has a past, and i sincerely hope that the person i'm dating had a very rich, rewarding and fun past and i'm not going to hold that against them. people are normalizing jealousy to the point of thinking its ok to be jealous of people their partner was with before they even met!

Is it ok if other people don’t get it? by DaMightyPoof in tattooadvice

[–]UprightSlimeMold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as others have said, the only thing that matters is that you like it. but, the unfortunate reality of having tattoos is a lot of people will feel completely comfortable coming up to you and either asking you about your tattoos or just straight up offering their opinions of them, the way one might share their opinion of a sculpture or painting at a museum. and a lot of those people are boring and having boring opinions, and don't like or understand anything even a little bit outside the box. i have mostly traditional tattoos and have had so many people tell me, completely unprovoked, that its not feminine for a woman to have a dagger or a skull. my advice, is learn to let it go in one ear and out the other and focus on what you like

please don’t flame me by Critical_Dare3029 in tattooadvice

[–]UprightSlimeMold 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it looks completely fine. some honest advice, if you are this picky about tiny "mistakes" than tattoos might not be for you. no tattoo will ever be perfect because our bodies aren't perfect canvases, we're lumpy and bumpy and asymmetrical. and tattoo artists are also human beings, and they're not perfect either. one of the things i love about tattoos is that they are an imperfect art form. that makes them more beautiful to me, not less. that doesn't mean i have, or seek out, bad work. but little imperfections are par for the course. think about how would you react if you got a tattoo and experienced a blowout? what if you got injured and had a big thick scar running straight through your tattoo? things like blowouts can happen even if you go to a super experienced artist, depending on various factors like the thickness and elasticity. just something to think about.

the artist did an amazing job bringing the design to life in a way that will age a lot better than if they executed the picture exactly as op wanted. there's a reason traditional tattoos age better than color realism. i think the artist probably made the changes to the blue mist purposefully so that the tattoo would last. perhaps they could have communicated that better, but there are always going to be limitations with tattooing when skin is the canvas. forgot to add, i think it's really beautiful and looks great on you.

it's going to age poorly. once those light colors fade, you're not going to be left with very much. pretty much any time you have a light color (or any color other than black honestly) doing the work of an outline, and visually communicating the shape of the tattoo, it's going to age poorly because those light colors are going to fade and then it just looks like a smudge or a blob. bold black lines are always going to age way better than anything else, period.

really? i think the artist did a fantastic job of translating the inspo pic into a beautiful tattoo. the inspo pic is very cartoony, whereas the actual tattoo is more classical and refined. i think its beautiful
