I can’t believe this bitch still can’t pull a straight fucking line after all the time she’s been tattooing

She's on the stupid tattoo show I'm watching and she's so shiiiiit

Got my first tattoo and I’m in love.

Absolutely love my new tattoo.

What??? (My husband sent me this one. He found it on Facebook.)

Whyyyyy

Nothing says “I love you and we’re both huge nerds” like matching Yugioh tattoos with your significant other! ✨

First Tattoo, Star Tarot

Love it got it done today already ready for it to heal.

Let’s play a game!!

Let’s play a game called ‘Normal or Be Concerned’!

So I just got my first tattoo, and I’m a little confused. I’ve read a lot on tattoo aftercare/ the healing process and I have questions!!!

1) My tat will be a week old Friday (11/10), and it’s still a little tender. Normal or something to be concerned about?

2) It’s at the itchy/peeling stage. But there’s no scabs: it’s peeling like a sunburn. Normal or be concerned?

I know it’s probably stupid but, yeah if someone could shoot me answers I’d appreciate it.

Both normal. Only big things to be concerned about this far into the healing process are swelling and heat. Both are signs of an infection.

I just got my first tattoo 🌙

on your hand of COURSE

So sorry next time I’ll get one on my ass

please do! that one would be easily hidden and isn’t going to jeopardize your future career/housing/basic living opportunities like this one is.

Future career! XD housing? I’ll be fine trust me but thanks for trying to teach me something

your bio says 18 so i hope you’re right and whatever career you plan on going into allows hand tattoos but you should definitely be aware of the consequences of all tattoos, ESPECIALLY hand tattoos. they WILL limit your opportunities. with everything. wish you the best!

^THIS.

Guess what, a lot of places require in person interviews to get a job, to get a loan, to rent a home/apartment/whatever. And people will judge you for having a hand tattoo. You can be 100% perfect on paper but there are ignorant people who will look at someone and judge by what they see. So. Yeah. Hand tattoos are a bad idea for a first tattoo Everytime I’ve gone for an interview or looked at a rental property, I have hidden my tattoos. The world sucks, but you need to be able to function in it.

On the upside at least it doesn’t look like shit. Solid, clean lines.

Hi, I’m 20 years old now. No one judges the tattoo, if anything I get compliments or they don’t even notice. The only judgment I got was on this site.

Lol the only VOCAL judgement maybe. Also lol at "I'm 20 now" like you're old and wise and experienced in the world haha. 20 years old is nothing. Let me know how it's going when you're 35.

Agh, I don’t hate this but I dont like the way Ponyo + Co. are put on top of the outlines of the rectangles (which I think is the ship if I remember correctly). It’s also a tiny bit wobbly in places and might have some aging issues due to how fine those lines are. I dunno. It really isn’t bad; it doesn’t totally catch your eye and blow you away but some tattoos are better understated.

It isn't bad per se. But to take the bright, punchy colors of the original film and smash them into skin tone submission feels...rude.
