Go. Away. You Insane person. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Exactly. Thank you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Best of luck to you. You are the problem and I hope you take my advice. I can’t stress that enough. Get the mental help you need. (A lot of it). You really are insane. You’ll never be happy with the way you’re going.

You are insane. Don’t continue getting tattoos. Just. STOP. You are CLEARLY micromanaging. If artist like her are “burning out” it’s because of clients like you. YOU are the problem not her. I’m done. Have fun never being happy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This goes both ways. If you’re a pain in the ass client, micromanaging a professional with 20 years of experience, don’t expect a ton of pleasantries. You have to give the artist some degree of freedom to do their thing if you want the best result. Especially on something like placement where the artist more than likely knows best. The placement and lines look about as good as possible so the fact that she’s finding “flaws” tells me she’s not going to be happy with any result from any artist. No tattoo is perfect. No person is perfect. No skin is perfect. If you go expecting perfection you will be let down every time. At this point, it’s a favor to the artist to not go back. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You said you wanted “thoughts and advice harsh or not just hit you with some f***ing truth”. Don’t ask for it if you can’t handle it. You’ve got my thoughts and advice now so do with it what you want. Just keep in mind we are not therapists. If you are truly having “SOS” anxiety, seek help from someone/someplace more equipped to help with that. Best of luck! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m going to 100% stick to my earlier comments. I’ll also add that you had multiple opportunities based on what you are saying to back out before the needle touched your skin. If you were that anxious before the tattoo why would you go through with it? Nobody forced you to go through with it. A lost deposit is an easier pill to swallow than a tattoo you don’t like. Feel free to reach out to other shops and see if they will finish it for you. Be prepared for some no’s, a lot of artist don’t want to touch another’s work. Maybe you should have a formal sit down interview with the next artist to see if they are good enough to tattoo you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Haha no judgement here! Got my first at 18! Still one of my favorites although it is covered now [emoji3] If he’s got Saniderm or something like that on it he should be okay. Just keep it out of the sun and try not to let it get rubbed too much. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I usually have at least one spot on every tattoo that does this! My feet were terrible! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Damn 17 is young! I generally don’t work out until it’s gotten past the initial healing stages. You don’t want to rub against a fresh tattoo and rip scabs off or continue to irritate it. Keep it out of the sun for sure. And limit friction against it. Derm bandages help but if it’s been open to the air I probably wouldn’t cover it now that fresh. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My honest advice for you going forward is to bring this entire process to a screeching halt. Cancel your upcoming appointments and just let the money for the deposit go. Reading through that book that you posted, it is clear that it’s more than just an issue with this particular artist/tattoo. See a therapist. Do not continue getting tattooed until you can truly accept that nothing in this world is perfect. Tattoos are not for highly anxious and perfectionist people. Tattoos have become too mainstream where anybody thinks they can go get one and if it’s not “Instagram perfect” then it keeps them up at night. It used to be that people with tattoos generally didn’t care so much what everyone else thought. Now there is an influx of people that seem to be doing it only for the likes or the praise of others. Get good tattoos that you want and you like and forget about the rest. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s his Instagram..... He can post or not post whatever he wants and he doesn’t need to justify or explain it to you. If you like it then leave it alone and enjoy it. What’s lame is pestering someone the way you are over something so trivial... At this point, you not giving him anymore business is probably a favor to him. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wait longer for it to heal. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Am I understanding you right? You want to put chemicals and/or lemon juice on a healing tattoo? I wouldn’t entertain that thought any further unless you want to cover scars as well. You should be consulting with your artist and let them set a timeline. If you need lasering and want a full sleeve, a year probably isn’t reasonable. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

If that looks like a penis then mine must look weird. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
