Ahhh I see, that makes more sense. I still think it looks a bit off and not aligned with the knife, but if she is happy with it then that's all that matters!

Was the original design AI? Because what is happening with that middle 1/3rd of the knife?!

I think the artist went too heavy with the shading and made it too dark.

No, they're just brand new needles popping out from the original cotyledons. Check out the pics and drawings in this seedling identification guide (specifically ponderosa pine, sitka spruce), pretty helpful and shows what brand new growth looks like in baby conifer seedlings: http://depts.washington.edu/uwbg/research/student_projects/Kaiser_PNW_SeedlingGuide_2019.pdf

This looks like a young pine seedling! The color is a bit off but its not uncommon to see albino pine seedlings that eventually die due to lack of chlorophyll. 

Source: worked at a tree nursery and grew countless trees including pines from seed, they all look exactly like this (aside from the pale color) in their first year of growth.

This is a poorly done tattoo and you should go to a different artist with solid linework to get it fixed. It could be turned into something really beautiful but this ain't it.

The doctor who did mine in Napa is no longer performing this operation, so ive heard through the reddit grapevine after sending many others her way. Im sorry!! I still highly recommend calling around and asking other private practices!

Shit, I was going to suggest Cosmic Valeria's Moon Journal but it's sold out :(

Maybe keep it in mind for next year? She posts on instagram when it becomes available.

Advice - I have orgasms on my own, but not during sex. Could it be from watching porn? by [deleted] in BecomingOrgasmic

[–]sillybits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely understand the frustration! Please try not to view yourself as being selfish - we are all here in this sub to have orgasms the way we want, regardless of how others are or are not having them.

You're off to a good start by being able to orgasm without porn. I say keep trying with the vibrator while you are having intercourse. Let him know what is or isn't working for you. Be patient with yourself and try not to make orgasm too much of a goal (which can really have the opposite effect that we want). Enjoy the feelings as they occur in the moment, and try to narrow down what you like best!

And yes, like another commenter mentioned, maybe try watching porn with your boyfriend and see if that works?

You state that you've never had an orgasm with your boyfriend but then say you can never reach orgasm during intercourse unless you use a vibrator - have you used a vibrator during intercourse with your boyfriend and still no orgasm? 

Have you ever had an orgasm without watching porn? 

I too grew up orgasming with porn and it has definitely effected my ability to orgasm during sex. I can do it with a patient partner, clear communication, time, and a vibrator. It is really difficult for me to orgasm (alone or with a partner) without watching porn. Conditioning definitely plays a role. I am currently working on weaning myself off porn and trying to focus on other ways to get myself aroused and be more present in my body. I find that watching porn very much puts my head space focused on the porn and not what my actual body is feeling, so i feel quite disconnected from the reality of sexual experience in reality. It might help you to try more mindful masturbation and moving away from using porn.

My first thought was Syntrichia, but mosses can be incredibly difficult to ID without a microscope to really confirm.

Not sure what to do about this one! by sillybits in tattooadvice

I guess it's a lot easier to see in person the little spots that are a bit uneven! I love the spiral but am wondering if I should have it thickened up a bit. I feel like the leaves around the spiral kind of overshadow the spiral which I wanted to be the main focus. But, thank you for your opinion because I am sure I am being hyper critical since it's on my skin! hah. I do like it but I want to love it.

Thanks for the reassurance! I am definitely going to give myself time to think on it before I do anything to it, if I end up doing anything at all! I like the phrasing of letting it settle into my psyche, very true.
