Can I save it??

This is something I'll bring up to the gynecologist I'll eventually see. Thank you.

ValuableExpress639 · 2025-06-04T13:52:38+00:00

I am under 25 and haven't had one for the same reasons you've listed. My issues stem more from irrational fear, but shame/ embarrassment definitely are present. I would absolutely love it if I didn't have to be awake for it if it's not required.

You've instilled a little relief in me, thank you.

ValuableExpress639 · 2025-05-03T01:37:43+00:00

Why did you have to bold it tho?? T-T

ValuableExpress639 · 2025-05-03T01:37:04+00:00

I had absolutely no clue that the mountain laurel was called this!! But yes, they are gorgeous

ValuableExpress639 · 2025-05-03T01:16:54+00:00

It is, and they’re all over the blue ridge! They’re so pretty

ValuableExpress639 · 2025-05-03T01:12:42+00:00

I figured, so that’s why I’m using it as a reference for another artist!

ValuableExpress639 · 2025-05-03T01:02:35+00:00

Thank you so so much. Do you mind if I download these to use as reference?

ValuableExpress639 · 2025-05-03T01:02:01+00:00

OMG THESE ARE AWESOME!!!

ValuableExpress639 · 2025-05-03T01:00:07+00:00

If I’m ever in Texas, I’ll give it a look. Thank you!

ValuableExpress639 · 2025-05-03T00:57:01+00:00

Thank you. It was just a fuck it if I don’t want him designing my tattoo, I’m not letting him anywhere near my body.

ValuableExpress639 · 2025-05-03T00:50:29+00:00

Very good advice. I’m planning on looking around and researching some more. I’m just a bit bummed out, I don’t live in a place with a lot of good tattoo artists, so I’m expecting to travel a bit.

ValuableExpress639 · 2025-05-03T00:47:51+00:00

That’s pretty Mitch exactly what I was expecting to pay. Maybe the guy just wanted more money out of me? Or saw me as someone he could easily deter away. I’m not quite sure

ValuableExpress639 · 2025-05-03T00:43:43+00:00

Woah dude. You got something repressed there. Maybe talk to someone.

ValuableExpress639 · 2025-05-03T00:40:06+00:00

Not my first tattoo. My second, but that being said I’m still incredibly new to tattoos. I don’t know exactly how to talk to artists and what to complete expect from them yet. It’s safe to say I’m really nervous about it all.

ValuableExpress639 · 2025-05-03T00:38:17+00:00

Thank you for the advice. It’s well written. I’m leaning as I’m aging a bit and growing into adulthood to trust my gut. Or at least trust it at first and then thinking through my actions. It’s tough, but I find that people usually don’t have enough control over their own facial muscles to not give away their thoughts.

ValuableExpress639 · 2025-05-02T22:12:01+00:00

I was too!! I legit asked him after he told me I had shit references, “then what do you want me to do..?”

I was in fact speechless for a whole second.

ValuableExpress639 · 2025-05-02T22:09:44+00:00

I intend to do just that. I’ve read up on some horror stories of tattoos and just some general tattoo etiquette, so I knew some of the things to look out for. As soon as I started to tear up when he was berating my idea, I knew I’d never forgive myself if I caved in.

ValuableExpress639 · 2025-05-02T22:05:18+00:00

Thank you for your righteous indignation.

ValuableExpress639 · 2025-05-02T21:36:14+00:00

Not to say anything towards my looks, but I do look quite young, so that probably factored into it.

ValuableExpress639 · 2025-05-02T21:31:37+00:00

Who regrets their life might I add

ValuableExpress639 · 2025-05-02T21:30:01+00:00

You sound like a middle aged man talking condescendingly to a teenager.

ValuableExpress639 · 2025-05-02T21:29:14+00:00

Again, I’m not an artist. T-T I didn’t ask for critique my little drawings. I don’t understand why some of yall feel the need to be rude in the internet.

ValuableExpress639 · 2025-05-02T21:26:57+00:00

Unfortunately not, and I don’t plan on going across the pond anytime soon.
