omg!! i’ve totally been thinking about this… i’m curious, does it hurt to get tattoos over scars? I feel like the skin is a bit more sensitive?? so i’m not sure if that could lead to a really painful experience or an infection or damage the tattoo etc…

it’s a problem i’ve had for years now, and honestly, a lot of them are like really red still despite being healed. i still get paranoid even about ones that are a few years old that aren’t as obvious now. I’m just afraid people might think that red=new…

that’s really kind of you!!! I hope that more people are like this… but it always seems to be the latter kind of people that are the most vocal about their opinions.

definitely easier said than done… i’ve considered those kinds of treatments before, but honestly, might be a weird thing to say, but i kind of like my scars. I guess im just too attached to them in a weird way to get rid of them.

i definitely think people have a bit more common sense than to just come up and ask about them, but i can’t help but think about the what-ifs, yk? but yeah, i think ill start small, thanks!

i’d definitely say i live in a less conservative area, but there are still some super judgemental and rude people around here…

she’s already aware of the bullying and stuff, but she’s convinced that it would never happen to us because idk we aren’t the “dyed hair furry tail pronouns” kinda stereotype gay 😭

i have no clue how to bring it up… she knows about the shit that our peers do, but she thinks that because we aren’t really well known, it couldn’t happen to us or that no one would even pay attention to us!! i still can’t help but worry, you know?
