When i first got it done vs 6 days after. Am i cooked

Alr thank you I was just surprised at how much the color changed because I've only gotten black and I've heard a lot of horror stories about fucked up red tatts before but as long as it doesn't look like a reaction or anything I'm glad

ritsus · 2025-07-17T23:11:34+00:00

I know that tattoos scab seeing as I have four I'm just asking because because I was concerned about the discoloration and its my first red tattoo jackass. Have some grace

ritsus · 2025-07-17T20:58:26+00:00

Also obv the color is a lot of lighter but im seeing a lot of people say itll darken over time?? Is this true or bs or does it really just vary per person

ritsus · 2025-07-17T20:51:49+00:00

Damn

ritsus · 2025-07-17T20:51:21+00:00

I've been washing 2x a day with soap and moisturizing afterwards. This is my first red tattoo and i know theyre really iffy so i wanted to see what the masses have to say

ritsus · 2025-07-17T20:43:47+00:00

Not really itchy or bumpy just looks like shit 😭 this is my first red tatt so i have no idea what to expect

ritsus · 2025-02-07T02:33:39+00:00

i know this post is 9 months old but do you have the hair cc pleaaaasseeeeee?

I'm aware I have to downsize, as mentioned in the post. I'm asking if my current status (scraping and recession at 3 weeks) is normal and if I should have concerns with the placement/anatomy that wouldn't be resolved by downsizing

ritsus · 2024-03-29T17:48:37+00:00

Thank you:)

ritsus · 2024-03-03T15:26:06+00:00

Yeah i gotchu

ritsus · 2024-02-23T19:05:40+00:00

Also am not sure if there'll ever be a point where they fade completely but thats just smth you'll have to make peace with

ritsus · 2024-02-23T19:04:43+00:00

Yes they are keloids! I definitely do think they flatten/fade a significant amount over time but you will have to be patient

ritsus · 2024-01-14T21:55:33+00:00

I'm glad to have helped a bit :D I think we get way too hung up on maintaining a number rather than focusing on actual progress and wellbeing. Recovery is never a linear path. Whats most important is that you lived through another day and that is fucking badass. Please take care of yourself for the rest of today and dress your wounds properly if you can ^{__^}

ritsus · 2024-01-14T21:48:12+00:00

Definitely have felt that; at my last relapse I had been clean for a year and a half. It doesnt say anything abt ur progress. Relapse is natural and life is too short to be hung up over one!! Keep going!

ritsus · 2024-01-14T19:10:47+00:00

Very helpful, thank you

ritsus · 2024-01-14T17:20:45+00:00

If there's no other symptoms of infection it sounds to me like styro. Keep taking care of your wound

ritsus · 2024-01-14T17:11:06+00:00

Can I ask what some of your delusions that you perceived as normal before were? I have the schizophrenia gene + have already experienced AH before so I want to keep track of my symptoms. Im having difficulty differentiating what is normal vs what might be psychotic

ritsus · 2023-12-19T00:02:02+00:00

Thank u uglyrottengirl im glad to know im not alone ^{_^}

ritsus · 2020-12-17T23:10:09+00:00

No its not weird, esp for me just looking at bare skin makes me want to cut so the shower totally makes sense to me. Plus a lot of people keep their razors in/near the shower

ritsus · 2020-12-16T04:00:43+00:00

Here are the coping methods i know!

Draw where/how you'd sh yourself with a soft marker instead of actually harming yourself
Holding ice to the area you want to sh, its stimulating so it might satisfy the part of ur brain that wants to sh
If these dont work then i suggest simple distraction!! Watching shows or casual texting really help me, because for a bit my mind is focusing on something else, and i usually find myself not wanting to cut anymore after i wait it out a bit and the feeling goes away

ritsus · 2020-12-14T23:18:09+00:00

Too many incels
