First time tattoo

Hey ladies! This Saturday I’ll be getting my first tattoo. I’m superrr excited. But I was wondering if yall could give a girl some advice on what to look forward to, what does it feel like and pre/post care. I’m talking myself up to look past the pain, which I’m not too horribly worried about. I’m getting in on my outer lower leg above my ankle. 🤣 I get Brazilian waxes once a month so can’t be much worse than that??

like she said it’s mainly about pain tolerance. i have a bunch on my arms and they didn’t really hurt, they were more annoying than anything. and the after care is really easy. just moisturize with an unscented lotion. i usually use vaseline. that works really well. DO NOT PICK ON IT. it will ruin the line or shading work.

Piercings

I got my nipples done a year ago . They still crust . When does the crusting stop ?

I got mine done in March 2023 & haven’t had crusties for months. Swap your jewelry to titanium & always remember to clean them in the shower. Saline spray was also very soothing for me.

Nipple piercings 😍

I recently started contemplating getting my nipples pierced just to switch things up a bit. How long is it gonna be before they can be “played” with again?

Like 3-6-9 months. It just depends. They need to be FULLY healed. Nipples take forever to heal

Septum 🫶🏼

Tattoo allergy?

I got this tattoo 6 days ago and when I looked today there is a rash around it. It doesn’t itch though.It’s not my first tattoo but I got it from a different studio so maybe something to do with the ink they used? What do ye think?

Have you applied any ointment or cream to tattoo? It could also be irritation from artist cleaning and wiping ink while preforming tattoo.

i’ve been kinda going back and forth on which piercing would be suitable on my face

Septum!!

Does this look like it's healing okay??

Hi! I got my belly done and I'm nervy that it's not healing properly. No real pain just little itchys like it is healing but idk it looks funny. But just want someone to reassure me or let me know if something looks off. Did go to the shop to have them look but the lady was rude so I kinda just walked out. It hasn't been too long since I got it but I wash it with saline and dial gold soap. Any recommendations would be appreciated as I'm new to this lol

Rib tattoo and kids

I have a tattoo on the side of my ribs from just under my boob to just below the bottom of my ribs. Im thinking about having kids one day and was wondering how that might affect it.

Completely depends on your body and your skin. I have a rib piece and my pregnancy didn’t negatively impact it. But my cousin has a tattoo of roughly the same size and in the same location as me, and her’s got stretched quite a bit. You can still see what the writing says. But it isn’t as clear as when she first got it.

Can nipple piercings cause breast lumps?

Hi everyone!So I got my nipples pierced around a month ago. So far the healing process has been great, no infections or pain. However, a few days after the piercing, I found a small, hard lump in the breast tissue below my left nipple. It doesn’t hurt at all, is about the size of a blueberry, and can slightly be moved. I read that piercings can cause abscesses, but it’s not painful and is further beneath the skin so I don’t think that’s what this is. I’m looking into making an appointment for a mammogram, but am curious if this is something caused by the piercing or completely coincidental?

I would make an appointment with your piercer and get it checked. It's not common but it can happen. My husband is a piercer (15 years) he recommends you get checked out

Does this look infected ?

Got it done last Tuesday and it’s been feeling a little weird

Ive had my piercing since i was 15, so 20 yrs now. Just washed it once a day with antibacterial soap. Then shot glass of sea salt + water in the evenings for a few mins first 6 weeks. For a few yrs it would randomly act up. Did sea salt water & that stopped it. Havent had to do that in a very long time! Hasn't receded or anything. 🩷

Piercing - help!

2 days ago I got my earlobes pierced (for the first time ever). When I got home and looked in the mirror I started crying - they’re uneven.One is perfect but one is so much higher up than the other one & others might not notice it - but I do and I don’t like it. So I’m thinking about going to another piercing place today and see if they can either:1. take the uneven piercing out so I can let it heal (and then go pierce It again but in the right spot) or 2. (Which I hope works?)They take the uneven one out and pierce it right away so that I don’t have to walk around w one piercing.So my question is:Do you think they’ll do the 2nd option?(Remove the piercing that is uneven / higher up& pierce it in the right spot)Idk if they will since the uneven one hasn’t healed yet (since I got them 2 days ago)

I would not go to the same place as they clearly can’t do it properly…

Patchy tattoo?

Got my first tattoo a little over a week ago. It peeled already etc. after the peeling, I noticed patchy work. Idk if it’s normal and I need touch ups cause there’s a couple places that look faded and patchy. She also went outside the leaf with ink😭 might just get a thicker line to cover it. Is it normal for it to be patchy after it’s done peeling? Or is it just from healing cause it’s not healed all the way yet

Its actually shaded like that to show more realism. I wouldn't get the line made thicker as it will be 100x more noticeable than the slight imperfection. But anytime youre not 200% satisfied with the work contract the artist and see if she has any thoughts.

I’m pregnant!

Nipple piercings while breastfeeding/pregnant

Hi all,I was wondering if anyone has chosen to keep their nipples pierced while breastfeeding. Did you think it was worth it? From what I’ve read it requires a lot of time/effort. I love my piercings and would prefer to not get them repierced as I had a lot of issues with healing when I got them done 10 years ago.

I had to take mine out when I was pregnant. My nips were so much more sensitive and it started to hurt, like unbearable and not just annoying. I probably won’t get them pierced again either. I miss them but not that much haha.

Nose piercing

I got my nostril pierced in December, and I’m honestly kinda tired of it. I don’t mind it THAT much, but I’ve been thinking I preferred my pictures before I had this piercing, so I think I want to take it out. I’m just scared there’s gonna be a big permanent hole. I’ve tried googling it, and some sources say the hole will close and some say it never will…If I were to take it out now, what’s the likelihood of the hole being either closed or barely noticeable in the next few months? (Asking about that timeframe specifically because I have some trips planned and need to decide if I’d rather have the piercing in all my pictures or an empty hole lol)

Help! Nipple piercing placement

I had my nipples pierced earlier today and after getting home and actually looking at them, they are closer to the base/areola than they are to the actual nipple. Does this look right? If it doesn’t, what should I do? Do I take them out and have them redone? I would love some feedback from a professional. Thanks!

The bar is too small and its very inflamed which is why it hurts

Remembrance tattoo?

Is it weird/inappropriate to put a remembrance tattoo on my thigh? I want it somewhere slightly hidden. I'm thinking about the top of my thigh, in the front.

Plus Size Wanting Chest Piercing Advice!!!

Has anyone else who is possibly plus size or just even a bit on the heavier side gotten their nipples pierced? I’m about 200 lbs and 5’3. I would love to have the confidence to show for but I’m worried with how my breasts don’t have a ton of support it might not workout for me the way I wish it would. I have rather small nips than one would expect especially for the size of my chest being a 42G. Any advice I’ll take and help decide even for those not plus size feel free to comment because the healing process is important in general to know about. Thank you! ☺️

Love mine!! I will say, I’ve heard that it hurts a bit more when you have smaller nipples, but all in all I say it’s worth it. It’s meant to make you feel sexy. 😉 And the added sensitivity is a major plus!
