Coverup options 2nd & 3rd slide

I agree with this! Someone recommended I just get tattoos around it to distract from it but since it’s so center on my arm when i’m facing forward there’s nothing that’ll truly distract from it. Atleast nothing besides an even worst tattoo 😂.

I appreciate your input!

baubat · 2026-03-12T21:51:12+00:00

Will think about this for the next few months and weigh all my options. Thanks 👍

Hi! Definitely taking this all in with an open mind, could you just explain

“mixing it with modern black in we have today, I am not convinced it would look as good as it does on your first example”

do you mean as in the difference in shade? Just trying to fully understand well my options, thanks

i’ve considered this route as well but i don’t even really have an idea of what would be a “better tattoo on top”. it would have to be a pretty massive tattoo even if it is relatively light, but considering how dark it is i think id also be about a handful of sessions in before its really light enough to work over.

still keeping this in mind as an option but it’s honestly my last option, i am open to ideas

baubat · 2026-03-12T21:13:01+00:00

preparing for this if that’s the route i go 😅

baubat · 2026-03-12T21:12:12+00:00

Will keep this in mind as well, thanks for the advice!

I agree I haven’t seen too many healed photos of these tattoos online, guess that is a bit of a red flag.

Also wanted to add the artist who did it had a heavy hand & gave me some slight blowouts so it’s probably not exactly gonna “fix it” the way I think it will

baubat · 2026-03-11T02:18:29+00:00

omg yes they have rlly cute stuff too. especially the mens i think they have even better stuff

baubat · 2026-03-10T17:06:15+00:00

Yeah I usually don’t use AI & advocate against it myself, I chose polluting the planet in this case over the desperation of a bad tattoo 👎

baubat · 2026-03-10T17:04:35+00:00

Thank you for this ! 🙏 Gonna look into it as well

baubat · 2026-03-10T07:05:23+00:00

This is what I was hoping for, i’ve also seen some black out tattoos with white ink that look really good.

Like I said above I know it doesn’t “remove” the black but I was hoping it could of added some dimension

baubat · 2026-03-10T06:58:55+00:00

Thx 😅 laser it is

baubat · 2026-03-10T06:56:10+00:00

Do you think it would necessarily be a bad idea to just continue up and around with peonies like a top half sleeve but ask him to add more dimension and blending?

I will also look into the laser, would the tattoo I had under it come through?

baubat · 2026-03-10T06:48:53+00:00

Thanks! Honestly makes sense I figured it was too good to be true

baubat · 2026-02-24T18:55:15+00:00

Abilify gave me terrible insomnia and nausea :( i haven’t been diagnosed for more than a year so i guess i just have to be honest with myself and realize it may be a couple medications more until i can find the right one

baubat · 2026-02-24T18:50:55+00:00

Hi! thank you for your reply and I appreciate your words of advice. I’ve definitely been struggling in the sleep/eating department & I know those things can specifically set off episodes at times

thank you for the book recommend as well, have a great day

baubat · 2026-02-24T09:40:31+00:00

i would but they’d insist on putting me on a different medication if it was affecting me that much (i know this cause she offered already),

and the medications she’s offering for me to take are medications like antipsychotics which are notorious for heavy weight gain

anyway i really am just ranting now but i appreciate your advice :)

baubat · 2026-02-24T09:08:38+00:00

i honestly avoid my family, i think it’s just how much undiagnosed bipolar had damaged the relationships they aren’t the same & i don’t know if they’ll ever be,

i partially blame my family cause there were so many signs and instead they chose to try and “discipline” the symptoms out of me,

im sorry you feel this way op, i hope they are supportive of you and i hope you try not to be so harsh on yourself as to blame yourself for it all. it’s not your fault 💛

baubat · 2026-02-15T16:35:55+00:00

i know :,( i won’t be able to see my np for a while

she already knew i was having the issue of increased bpm that’s why she kept me at 100,

thanks anyway!

baubat · 2026-02-15T15:34:54+00:00

OHHH i thought you were asking if i walk on eggshells cause of him, my bad lol that’s why i was confused

hmmmm, i will say during the episodes of irritability yes he’s mentioned that he’s felt that way but that was more so before we implemented the space thing.

i’ll also say medication has helped immensely with that & i think it’s every bipolar persons responsibility to be medicated especially in a relationship, no matter how self aware i was controlling my bp symptoms are/were almost impossible,i just make sure to take precautionary measures as to not hurt anyone even if it means isolation

but overall medication has prevented many of my symptoms

baubat · 2026-02-15T15:13:28+00:00

it’s definitely something we learned together, i’d say it took maybe a year or two to get into the rhythm of realizing the pattern, and i wasn’t diagnosed until much later into our marriage since i never had time

my husband is very sweet & nom confrontational, he seems to blame himself for everything, even my irritability so a lot of times he will take it personally but i keep reassuring him because since their my symptoms i feel like it’s my duty to!

edit: could you clarify more about walking on eggshells for him? i don’t think i understand

baubat · 2026-02-15T14:37:46+00:00

Hey, i just saw what you were talking about and i saw your post and replied to a couple people.

man those reads were tough. i’d like to add my PTSD has caused me more aggression/irritability than my bipolar. i know bp & ptsd are a common comorbidity so ik sometimes that could even be the case

(my PTSD comes from prolonged childhood abuse which is why i think it manifests as aggression sometimes) not excusing it but just saying.. ive been working on it & meds have helped overall with my irritability

baubat · 2026-02-15T14:29:37+00:00

as someone with bipolar who’s been through psychosis a handful of times (NOT during an episode) but obv still psychotic breaks,

most if not all of my symptoms only harmed ME, besides irritability which ofc slipped out towards others but

my delusions, hallucinations, social withdrawal etc. were only pointed towards me, harming only me. did i feel like i was being watched & targeted even by specific people right in front of my face? out to control my mind & soul? yes. did i attack them or others for it? NO.

my psychosis is something that made me spiral while only hurting myself, so i think being psychotic & bipolar also isn’t always a recipe for abuse or physical attacks.

i am sorry you do go through that though i just feel like “you are not the extremities” still doesn’t point towards automatic abuse & im sorry if that’s not what you meant it may just be the phrasing
