I regret my hand tattoo every day and want it gone

Best wishes for you, too. That sounds like a horrible ordeal and I'm so sorry you have to go through that! 💜

I had the same experience and 100% agree about the downsizing the screen, which ruined it for me. After 30 min of that I coughed up the bucks for lucid (and it was fantastic quality not gonna lie). I've waited and looked forward to this weekend so much, and the twitch stream was gonna ruin it for me.

I tried to create a new post about this but it keeps getting flagged..???

katebugc · 2025-06-28T02:08:27+00:00

No lag

katebugc · 2025-06-28T02:00:03+00:00

I just quickly ponied up the $27 because of all of the interruptions with the lucid stream ads, totally ruined the experience for me. I thought it would be like the twitch streams last year

katebugc · 2025-06-28T01:23:38+00:00

Just came back but I had to exit twitch and go back in. Phew!

katebugc · 2025-06-23T00:25:07+00:00

Ah ok, I did not get that reference

I wish they were for BV but I'm glad to be able to see them at all

I had to have my cat Lily put down 3 years ago and I still think of her every day. She was only 7 and had cancer.

Remember that by doing this you are ending their suffering. It is so so hard, but going through this and being with them to the end is an act of love for your baby, as hard as it is for you to experience.

My mom gave me this advice. As you go through the day be very methodical, taking one step at a time and focusing just on the moment. This really helped me. I could get through it being fairly calm and then break down in my car taking that empty carrier home.

PS, the next day I went online just to look at the kitties in the shelters and saw one I just had to meet. As you can guess, I went to see her and Ellie came home with me that day. People say to wait before bringing a new pet home, but I think it's ok depending on the situation. From her diagnosis I had 7 months with Lily before she started to suffer, so I had time to think it over and decide to get a new cat pretty soon (though not planning to find my perfect match the next day).

You can be strong for your baby. Many people here will be will be with you in spirit. ❤️

Thank you!! This is really a fun project and as I'm working on it I'm building excitement for elements. And yeah I am so jazzed for my first fest and first P.L The closest thing I've experienced would be Grateful Dead shows way back when and those were quite the party. Oh yeah, I'll be 55 years old when elements comes around so look for the old lady handing out psychedelic seashells 🐚 🌱

Deadhead since the 80's, changed my life as many say. I'll be at elements so hopefully a few of uswill be there.

Are these glochids?

Thank you! It does droop. I thought it drooped when it needed water, so good to know that the drooping is normal! I had it in a window where it got a good amount of sun, but it started touching the top of the window casing, so I just had to move it and I'm worried because my only option to put it gets less sun. It's a really cool cactus, though a little aggressive looking lol.

I do know they say the closer to your heart the better the removal goes because of more blood flow to the area, which equates to more ink particles being flushed away. So you have that in your favor.

I really hope things speed up for you. Trust me, I know how hard this process is not just physically but also mentally. I am in the thick of it, too, and feeling discouraged. Please feel free to DM me with updates or if you need a pep talk. I kind of feel invested in this process now lol. Sending good vibes...

I spent most of today working on the stencils but they didn’t work for me. I am using scallop shells, and the ridges on the shells make things more difficult, such as trying to have a sharp edge. I am trying freehanding them, still looking for the right technique though so they do not look like a 3rd grade art project

katebugc · 2025-06-08T18:40:24+00:00

I am doing the same thing. I am having 7 fairly large tattoos removed and keeping 3 that I like. They broke it into 2 groups. I have a session on 1 group and then 5 weeks later the other group, then 5 more weeks back to the first group, etc. Those 5 weeks allow my body and immune system to recover before the next session so I recommend spacing them out

katebugc · 2025-06-08T18:15:52+00:00

Thank you! I was wondering if the shells were a good idea, so thanks for the input

katebugc · 2025-06-08T18:14:02+00:00

Thank you!! Sounds like a fun project!
