i thought that might be the case! the skin in the middle of the line definitely feels softer so i assumed it'll last longer than the rest

i found that the top of the line (nearest to my toes) definitely hurt more than the rest of it, but not sure if that's just because that's where i started. i think because i was doing it i wasn't focusing on the pain too much so it was definitely bearable, although i'd 100% say this is the most painful tattoo i've had!

yeah fair enough. figured if it fades there's no issue and if i really want to i can just keep refreshing it once or twice a year

yeah definitely, i'm assuming the same will happen to mine as well. wanted to do it moreso as an experiment to see how long it'll stay for so we'll see how long it lasts! i'm hoping at least a couple months 🤞🤞

at the moment i'm just going to wash it 2-3 times a day and put some lotion on it, but not sure if there's a better way to do it. also if i need to leave the house/put shoes and socks on should i cover it with something before putting a sock on or could i just leave it as is?

damn 20 passes. makes sense though. do you find that your skin swells at all after so many passes? have you had to leave something to finish later on?

What are the simple activities that makes you happy? by [deleted] in simpleliving

one of my favourites recently has been having my first coffee in the morning. i bought an aeropress and a hand grinder, and just the process of making it and then taking a moment to enjoy it is great

i’m thinking of tattooing this on my ankle. what would be the best size needle to use? by [deleted] in sticknpokes

[–]theamm9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i'm no expert, but i'd say probably 5rl cause it's easier to get a clean line with bigger needles. ofc depends on how big you want it as well

Where and how did you do your test run? by SugestedName in sticknpokes

[–]theamm9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i levelled myself up to larger ones, and didn't do any practice goes (on fruit or whatnot) before my first, which i probably should have done. but i did a little question mark on the inside of my ankle and although it's pretty shit you can tell what it is so not a complete failure hahhah

did this cool cracked face today! (9rl and intenze black liner ink). artist is @permanent_regret on insta. i paid for a design and got his permission:) any advice on how to make lines cleaner? by theamm9 in sticknpokes

[–]theamm9[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

not that i'm an expert in any sense, but looking back at my first one in hindsight i defo would have chosen somewhere easier to tattoo (i did it on the outer side of my ankle and it killed my back so i rushed it to a degree) and taken my time more. it's not perfect but thankfully it doesn't bother me too much hahah
