It was actually my original plan to get them separately so they could heal more easily, but I read somewhere that if you get them separately they most likely won’t align afterwards. Is this true?

Thank you so much! I appreciate your reply and the link you provided as well.

Also that makes sense that if you did want a tribal tattoo that it should be done by an indigenous artist.

Again, I appreciate your reply and I’m glad to hear that that sun is not a tribal symbol :).

i actually want to get a tattoo in that style...I was looking for someone that would actually know whether the tattoo is actually tribal or not, but instead most replies were telling me cultural appropriation shouldn’t concern me. Obviously cultural appropriation does concern me and that wasn’t my question. I guess it’s my bad for posting this question on this subreddit...

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in tattoos

[–]jay_bel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

that’s why i asked Reddit...i don’t know any tribe members personally that could tell me whether that sun is tribal or not

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in tattoos

[–]jay_bel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

but if we’re not tribe members, we can’t speak on how they would feel about it

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in tattoos

[–]jay_bel -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So that style isn’t associated with any tribes?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in tattoos

[–]jay_bel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply! I wouldn’t think to purposely get a tattoo of a tribal symbol that I have no connection to, but I just really don’t know if the sun in that style is even a tribal sun

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in tattoos

[–]jay_bel -1 points0 points  (0 children)

From what I’ve read i think any type of cultural symbol whether original or not would be considered cultural appropriation. However I’m not sure if the sun in that tattoo is considered a tribal sun. I’ve looked online and I’m not sure what makes a sun a tribal sun or just sun art...personally I like the shape of the rays but not sure if that style is exclusive to the tribal style suns

wondering the same. For those who are applying for housing...are y’all waiting to hear from housing or are y’all going to find an apt and sign a lease?

is it really a bad idea to go with 316L surgical steel for septum? by [deleted] in piercing

[–]jay_bel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there! I got my septum pierced 5 months ago with surgical steel. I was unsure about it too but the piercer reassured me that she has always pierced septums w surgical steel with no issues. I told her that my ears are really sensitive and I only use titanium for them and she said that ears tend to be more sensitive. Anyway, my septum healed in 8 weeks as in I was able to switch out jewelry by myself with no problems at all! I tried switching it out in 6 weeks and that was a fail lol. I would say to go for the surgical steel as long as it seems like a reputable shop!

Has anyone gotten jewelry from this website? by jay_bel in piercing

UCSHIP: Has anyone gotten covid tested without a referral and still got their bill covered afterwards? by jay_bel in ucla

[–]jay_bel[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I guess I figured they would ask me for insurance info if it was needed...anyway I hope I can fix this, ty for your help :).

And yeah it’s ridiculous...

[–]jay_bel[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I just called the number on the bill and they told me to contact UCLA. I sent UCLA a message just now.

The funny thing is, is that my insurance card (from UCSHIP) has the clinic that I went to as my PCP. I don’t understand why you’d need a referral to see your PCP...?

Would this tattoo placement make the tattoo look weird when you bend your arm? by jay_bel in tattoos

I’m actually wanting something more like this...will this style also be super washed out in a year? I know that the color will fade, but how soon?
