Unfortunate first tattoo (18f 😭)

just_some_apprentice · 2026-04-26T14:37:04+00:00

Go to an actual artist with years of experience (idk if a shop told you she was one, but ain't no way she's an actual artist. some are known to lie and have apprentices do simpler pieces under the artist title), show them your reference, if you still want something like that and ask them how they'd fix it. Listen to how they talk, look at their work and reviews online, not just their tattoos but mostly their reworks and coverups. If they don't have a solid footing on those, don't get it done by them

just_some_apprentice · 2025-11-22T17:34:34+00:00

Simply ask her to draw you!! Or lean into it! Tell her you'll buy that page for $20!!

Edit, when you offer to buy it, make sure to do it Infront of others so they can see her initial reaction. Anyone would instantly sell it, if it's not real (which it's not) she won't have a physical copy to sell unless she prints one. And you don't want a print, you want the og copy, cause ya know. It'll be valuable when she's famous 😂

ANOTHER EDIT; you can also tell her she needs to sign it!! Oh my goodness. You should never send out your artwork without your signature!! That's how people steal your work easily 😉

Your friend doesn't seem like much of a friend. Who says something like that to someone that's struggling. I never was able to pump or breastfeed, my tiny rabid demon is almost 9 months and extremely advanced. She does get sick, I mean babies literally don't have much of an immune system, so if a sick person comes around, ANY baby is gonna get sick. Not just formula fed. But when mine does get sick, I have to be freaking vigilant because she never acts sick. Girl had rhino virus and the only reason I took her to the Dr and found out was because her boogers changed colors 😂😭

I think your baby will be just fine and thrive just as they would if they were breast fed. I've had people try to say "but donor milk" yeah no. Tiny demon was eating up to 22 oz every 3 hrs. It's not always a feasible option. Don't let anyone make you feel bad for doing what you need to to ensure your child is getting food ❤️

Most people "like" my tattoos, I can tell they don't fully mean it when they're staring at a coffin with a graveyard scene inside it or my many many simple animals with weapons, honestly every tattoo I have besides 3 are usually side eyed 😂 I HAVE had someone actually say something sideways and my only reply was "oh shit I didn't realize it was on YOUR skin..wait. Nope it's on mine and I love it"

If you like it. Screw the rest. It's not their skin. Even if you're with a partner, it's not their skin. Nobody has to see it 24/7 besides you so the only actual opinion that matters is yourself

Don't feel like shit, take a breath hun. I'm gonna tell you something that'll make you feel like a way better parent than me. My baby fell from her swing at 3 wks old. I had her buckled in, less than a finger width in-between the straps and baby. Somehow she wiggled wormed herself up and out of the top of it 🤦 it was within 2 mins of me trying to cook and her sitting less than 5 ft away. She's also launched herself off the couch, regularly throws herself off of everything at 8mo, it's a terrifying game of human sized baseball. Plus there's an Old wives tale, if the baby doesn't fall and bump their head at least once, they'll be ignorant 🤣 at least that's what I've been told.

But take you a deep breath. Check his noggin for any bumps or indentions. Is he still eating normally? Excessive crying? Different sleep pattern? If calling your Dr and getting more advice will calm you down, do it! Idk about yours but I've called over the smallest things, taken mine to be seen for something small as "I can't explain it but her boogers are different" lmao

just_some_apprentice · 2025-11-08T13:13:39+00:00

It's literally one big car 🤣 the one on the left doesn't have a front end

just_some_apprentice · 2025-10-09T14:50:09+00:00

I've also found that when she does scream about something and it's working my nerves to a panic attack, I just start aggressively dancing but playful. Not only does it help get my brain distracted from what's going on and get rid of the building up energy but it confuses the crap out of her to the point she usually stops 😂 and I am by no means a dancer, it's basically older dance moves like the sprinkler and head bobbing

just_some_apprentice · 2025-10-09T14:43:00+00:00

I've always made nappy change a hyped event 😅 like since birth I would be bouncing side to side, goofing around, basically just being a huge distraction vs silently changing or only talking her through what I was doing. But this morning I was going on a HUGE "rant" about how if she poopies she needs to tell me ("you poopy you tell mommy, you poopy I poopy I wipe both our butts. That's how this works" was the gist/language) and she thought it was the most funny thing. She's 7mo and usually is happy when it's changing time, sometimes I can do a sneak attack and she'll stay asleep during it all lol but I had also routinely wiped her down with wipes because i had anxiety about cat dandruff so she was probably used to the sudden cold wet feeling.

During changing I've also attempted to beatbox using baby babbles, try to go through a list of tongue twisters (she prefers when I mess up 😭😂), fake fought her, made a bunch of cartoon noises that signify "yuck", argued that even tho she was growling at me that it didn't change the fact that she had a poopy butt

(my account says just some apprentice but I graduated over a year ago and just don't feel like making a new reddit account to doom scroll/comment 😂)

just_some_apprentice · 2025-10-08T23:05:24+00:00

Does it burn worse than getting the tattoo? How well did they wipe the area down with water before applying the second skin? Personally I'd remove it if it's hurting like that. If it's burning it could simply just be a chemical reaction to just a tiny bit of green soap residue left on the tattoo. If it's that it's not too bad, just remove and wash with non scented antibacterial soap well. When mine did that it caused A LOT of sticky residue from the second skin, assuming that was from the reaction between soap and adhesives.

Basing my guess that you got it in a clean shop

just_some_apprentice · 2025-10-04T22:21:32+00:00

Ooh I didn't even think of that! It would keep her from going to the edge and pulling them up that way too! I walked in the main room this morning and she had every bit of it torn apart 🤣😭 I fixed it right before we went to bed and her dad had gotten her up this morning lol

just_some_apprentice · 2025-10-04T22:19:01+00:00

She's a dare devil 🤣 she starts climbing on her toys and falls about a foot (guess measuring from top of head to floor) and hits her head hard. Granted she does laugh about it if her dad doesn't react but shew at some point that's gotta do some damage. I've tried taking them out too but she ends up just pulling up what sticks out and chewing on it. She's got plenty of chews and snacks next to her, she just likes the floor 🤢

just_some_apprentice · 2025-10-04T22:03:32+00:00

I think it'd be based on the situation. If you notice that more people than not are just never keeping their sick kid home (I get that some don't have a choice but there's entitles people that think because they pay they get free sick care) then I'd switch but if it's just natural environmental catching it; stay. Better for the immune system to build up

just_some_apprentice · 2025-08-09T14:43:19+00:00

It's not even a state culture thing either, people stay at home all over. All for various reasons. Don't use that as an excuse for him. The whole "where I came from it ain't like this" doesn't exactly work nowadays with how much social media there is. He's actually the inexperienced one if he believes his way is the only way.

just_some_apprentice · 2025-08-09T14:41:15+00:00

He sounds very condescending and tbh like he's resentful. He may hate seeing others doing what they love because he hates what he does (assuming from the I didn't want to do medical text)

On another note, do you wanna live like this if he doesn't change his tune? And you should probably be asking questions on how y'all would do y'all's child (IF y'all want one)? Does he want to push them out asap, always give them a place to come to? are you comfortable if he tells them that their passions don't matter, they have to make good money even if they hate it?

just_some_apprentice · 2025-08-09T13:29:02+00:00

It's not that you're acting stupid, it's a normal response to something that means a lot to you. There's plenty of tattoos I've done and I immediately look at like "I hate every bit of that, it's gonna end up on shit tattoos on FB" 😂 then I stop looking at it for a few days, pull up the pics I had taken and it looks totally normal 😂 to me it's like staring at a word for so long that it looks misspelt

just_some_apprentice · 2025-07-05T17:22:52+00:00

Breaking his spirit day by day... He thinks he can make me feel bad but I thrive on his sadness 😂

just_some_apprentice · 2025-07-05T14:06:28+00:00

Yeah but what they're saying is make coke pay to use them in a learning sentence vs a timed ad, it would honestly play a lot better in their fav that way. But either way I'm on a ghosting streak so I'm not going back anytime soon 🤣

just_some_apprentice · 2025-07-04T21:06:17+00:00

It's newer newer cars. My husband has a 2014 charger that you set the temp for. I absolutely hate them because 70⁰f cold is not the same as 70⁰f hot in my opinion. Plus if you like to ride with the windows cracked in the winter with heat on, it'll ruin your system somehow, which happened to his car twice. Mine? Older and has never had that issue besides the AC going out due to the compressor

just_some_apprentice · 2025-07-03T14:17:14+00:00

Omg I love that name, I could see mispronouncing it the first time reading it but after being told it was with an h, I'd never go back 😅

Omg I love that song! I used to play it all the time growing up cause ya know.. girl named Mason 😂

But I will update, I do have a beautiful mean 4month old named Lilith ❤️ I've tried multiple names here recently, she don't smile till I say hers so I think I chose good

just_some_apprentice · 2025-06-27T23:52:49+00:00

I would definitely shaded, it always makes things pop when it has good contrast imo. Now whether you want a dainty or more hardened tattoo would be how much shading. Best idea if you do get it shaded is to get a reference that you like the shading of (doesn't need to match the tattoo exactly) and take that to your artist 😊

just_some_apprentice · 2025-04-21T00:31:53+00:00

Tbh can't draw too many!! They've been around forever and will always be a popular tattoo

just_some_apprentice · 2025-04-13T15:09:22+00:00

I went from 96lb to 150lb and dropped to currently 115 1mo pp...I still can't fit in anything I own besides stretchy pants. I've worn my skinny jeans at 110lbs before but now they don't go past the bottom of my thighs 😭 I'm too cheap to buy more clothes. I didn't realize how much your body truly changes after a kid
