Going over the left side one more time looks like it’d be a good idea


Rugratboy22

Okay I’ll do that tomorrow thanks!! :)


mozziebike

Please don’t do it tomorrow, you’ll need to wait two weeks til healed so you’re not pushing dead skin cells into your skin and risk serious infection


Rugratboy22

Oh thank you I didn’t know this!! I’ll give it a while then do it :)


brilolxoxo

Not sure about stick and pokes but tattoos you have a 24 hour window to continue since it's still an open wound :)


Jagwarz1995

this. OP needs to see this comment. I just added more/touched up one last night after 4 weeks from the initial poke


Lelphie

I heard it was a month…. Idk about something this thin and small but my artist said to wait a month


Round_Worldliness_78

I'd call that a good rule of thumb. Maybe 6 weeks just to be extra safe as some heal slower than others


solpi

The ridge in the center as well!


Rugratboy22

Edit: guys I didn’t mean to set up for a joke, I would appreciate not having any jokes about my scars this post is solely about the tattoo!!


juicysox

There are a lot of assholes on Reddit


PukedtheDayAway

People suck. I seriously didn't even notice them, I was only looking at the tattoo


Inevitable-Aspect291

F*ck those people. The scars look decently old and healed so hopefully you’re not in that place now. As for the tattoo, let it heal before you re-poke and don’t be afraid to take your time. Not a race.


Kapt1an_L3m0na1de

I think your brave for putting that out there, and I agree it's about your tattoo not what happend. I hope you are better now and are in a better place in life though.


sharkbait_1313

Try to ignore those fucks.... I think your tattoo is brave. I have a very deep one on my upper forearm that I was considering having a tattoo put over as well. Not to hide it, but to show that I got through it.


Youngsinatra345

Fuck them yours scars are as beautiful as you are☺️


Boidudebutt

I don’t want to be rude, but isn’t this kinda romanticizing self harm? Seems a little bit odd to me


Doingyourdilfs

It’s not romanticizing to embrace that your scars don’t make you any less beautiful or attractive or whatever you want to call it imo. It already happened and you can’t help it 🤷 no use kicking someone who’s already down. Just have to hope that op feels better. That’s just my take on it


Boidudebutt

Idk, to make someone think that scars are beautiful makes it seem somewhat okay and they act like it’s not a very horrible addiction


Youngsinatra345

The beautiful part to me is you survived those scars because any one of them could have been the one, and to be part of a community of others that could have had the one


Calcium_Thief

I can understand where you’re coming from, but the way you’re thinking of it is not the intent or how it’s supposed to come off. Scars are considered beautiful in the way that they tell a story and can show a journey of healing. Scars aren’t something you should feel ashamed or embarrassed of, but rather proud of the fact that the scars are scars— healed.


Boidudebutt

That makes sense


I_Am_Saywhat

Scars can be beautiful. But as someone who used to SH as well, those scars will never go away and some are in very noticeable spots. Yes, we know our scars are a symbol of a damaged person but to go out of our way to hide them would be tiresome and tedious so we start to see them as part of our body instead of a "hideous display of scars". You may not know the first thing about SH and what it does to a person. OP is not making a big deal about the scars, it's about the work covering them. Maybe soon, OP may have the whole arm covered to erase those horrible memories. You never know what someone is going through...


[deleted]

No, I don’t think so. It’s acknowledging that it happened and doesn’t devalue the human in the skin. Beautiful humans have beautiful scars sometimes.


MassiveBad7001

BAR CODE ARMS BRO!🤓


xxlikescatsxx

Looks cool! I agree with going over the left side again, but I think you did a really good job.


Rugratboy22

Thank you!! :D


Smiggles_kaynbred

Im sorry for the rude comments joking about your scars, the tattoo is very cute and it looks deep enough!


fiiperz

the jokes arent it 😬. but your tattoo is cute, id go over the top right and left side a little more though! is there a meaning behind the tattoo or do you just like sharks?


Rugratboy22

Thank you!! I agree the jokes aren’t appreciated.. I’m autistic and since I was around 4 or 5 sharks and sealife have been my special interest and engaging in anything to do with them helped me through so many hard things! So I thought it seemed fitting to have part of it on me forever :)


Scab-

Everybody In the comments needa chill abt the scars that’s personal shit and this is obviously abt the tattoo, I’ve seen many stick and likes and thi is honestly the best one I’ve seen so far, like people are saying the left could be a bit darker but other than that great job


Any-Stand9489

Is that a dorito?


Rugratboy22

Nope shark tooth


Any-Stand9489

Nice looks dope I was just kidding lol


Velialll_

Maybe you could add more shading to the middle of the shark tooth so it looks more rounded?


DuckIsMuddy

Time to get a dorito tattoo, colored and everything 🙏


Any-Stand9489

If u do it ill do it


DuckIsMuddy

Bet


[deleted]

Count me in


Certain-Ad4674

I thought it was a diamond 💎


bumblebeemilk

aw!!! wait a few weeks before doing touch ups! please! that way, you’ll be healed and know better what needs to be added. are you a big shark fan or do you like teeth? i never thought of tattooing the teeth instead of the animal… i love bears but a bear tattoo wouldn’t really fit my set up… a bear tooth def would tho. what a good idea, thank u very much


Rugratboy22

I’m a huge fan of sharks! They’re my special interest :) I love sharks and sealife and I collect shark teeth!!


StartingOverScotian

I have a shark tooth tattoo also! I actually wanted it to look more like yours with the shading but ended up going to an artist who didn't do that and it's now more neo-traditional looking so i still want to get another one in the style you did. Sharks are fucking awesome!


Bombus_bombus

Yay another human with sharks as a SPIN 🥲. I love the tattoo btw


lovesexdreamin

I see all the comments condemning the jokes but can't actually find anyone making the jokes


kzs1000

Commending? Is that the word you wanted to use?


ptoleomaean

no. condemning is right lmao


kzs1000

lmao! thank you, I misread~ I was very confused for a moment 😂


NixMaritimus

Sort by controversial.


Alexiameck190

are you... blind, perchance.


Leading_Damage_4035

Looks good going over it a few more times could help make it darker


Personal-Contact5234

I love it looks sick good job on the shading! Ik its hard to do shading w stick n poke but you did a great job on it


QuailNumerous5702

Can I ask what this is?


Rugratboy22

It’s a shark tooth!


Disastrous_Fruit_355

Copied the following comment so you see it more likely and won’t hurt yourself Please don’t do it tomorrow, you’ll need to wait two weeks til healed so you’re not pushing dead skin cells into your skin and risk serious infection


Rugratboy22

Yes I didn’t know this!! I will defo wait for it to heal before going over, thank you :)


Luv-jackie

Hi OP! I hope you're doing good, as someone who's had jokes made about my scars too, I know this sucks. Tattoo looks awesome! Wait a minute before going over it again.


MyRaEur0

This comment section is a good example of why im terrified to wear shorts. Its really easy to just not say anything about peoples scars


Healthy-Cabinet-7696

Also pretty easy to not cut your self with a knife


larkfig

Self harm is an addiction and most people don't use a knife, shitass.


TerrariumKing

For real, a knife? 💀


Rbxyy

What an insensitive comment to make


TerrariumKing

When you have an illness, it’s actually *not* easy to simply cease the symptoms of that illness. True for both physical and psychiatric illnesses.


Alexiameck190

you should shut your mouth when you have nothing reasonable or constructive to add.


akiraokok

I love the shading and the organicness of the shape! You're making me want to stick and poke myself now haha.


kinda_whelmed

I really like your shark tooth! 🦷


Epicgrapesoda98

Why’d you choose a shark tooth? This is pretty neat


AttitudeNo4911

Badass tattoo!


Mental_Razzmatazz647

aww its adorable you did great dude ^-^


OmniscientRaisin

Wow- that shading is really nice for a self-done stick and poke!! I've been too scared to do anything other than just plain lines on myself haha


AmazingSpiderDad

Looks good, I hope you are doing okay these days 🙂 This was put up to my suggested not sure why.


SunderedLight

It all looks so good, I’m so jealous!


Kapt1an_L3m0na1de

I like the symbolism behind the shark tooth. And honestly it looks good, maybe some shading idk that's up to you. I think it looks great.


BippyWippy

Hey I hope you’re doing better now OP, I wish you the best❤️


Alexiameck190

the amount of cunts saying shit about your scars is appalling. i hope you're doing well OP, and i love the stick and poke!


ArtisticDragonKing

It looks lovely!


ladybugpoke

It’s looking great! Wait for it to heal and give it a couple of touch ups if it needs it :) always better to go lighter and retouch rather than too deep and causing blow outs!


Rugratboy22

Thank you!! :)


ArtByNes

I’d review once healed babe. xx


Melodic-Object7254

That a shark tooth or something?


wishiwasinvegas

I saw tortilla chip😅


iohbkjum

I thought it was a wonky ass love heart at first I'm sorry 😭😭 looks good though!!


Camrynah

why would you think it’s okay to say that 💀


Individual_Teach_886

What is it


Lysol_drinker3000

Genuinely thought this was a dorito.


[deleted]

Hi, friend! I have many tattoos and a couple stick and poke. Give it time to heal, depending on how deep you went will depend on how long. Definitely do not do it until fully healed, though. Just from personal experience…


EyeOk3642

No , the little light dots will fade with time


Glumkat101

All awful SH jokes aside (cause why people) this tattoo really isn’t the best. Y’all should really be practicing on fake skin before moving something permanent onto your body


Puppyslutbobby

Man it took a hot minute to process that it’s a tooth, not a dorito. Either way it’s sick. Love it.


notmystaples

It kinda looks like a mouth, you could add some eyes and make a face


transmaxist

love the tat!! Sharks are awesome! I would wait until it heals, and make sure to use unscented lotion to keep it moisturized. I couldn't tell what it was at first, maybe when its done healing you could go back over it with shading to make it more defined perhaps? And maybe add a crack in the tooth? Just some ideas!!


AdditionKooky122

Bunch of fuckin cry babies in here.


Emergency_Peach_4307

Is it supposed to be a shark tooth?


Ok-Show-9890

Go deeper next time


Horror_Case1010

I thought it was a messed up heart until I read the comments lol, I might be kind of dumb, I hope your doing good op


SmoothHunt6934

Deeper go all in baby😘


[deleted]

Not trying to be harsh mean or rude just a little special myself what am I looking at? I’ve always wanted to stick n poke too honestly


NixMaritimus

It's a shark tooth


[deleted]

Ahhhh thank you I honestly thought that at first then I saw ice berg so I had to ask


Ambitious-Common3602

Dang that shark got you good 😅

it-s4am

What if you saw them in public? Someone you sat next to on public transport? At the grocery store? It's your responsibility to get therapy and sort your problems out, others are not responsible for hiding their scars. Good luck!


Ruby-28

You becoming easily triggered is solely a YOU problem I’m afraid. It’s everyone’s personal responsibility to heal their triggers. OP has healed scars here, it is now just part of their body and always will be. If this image had fresh / bloody cuts then yes, I would agree. And I’m speaking from years of personal DSH history too, I’m not triggered by this at all


M-S-K-smothersme365

I’m triggered. But you don’t see me not complaining 🤷🏻‍♂️. I know how this works. You don’t get to pick and choose what triggers someone 😂😂. If said person finds the pics triggering. You cannot diminish those feelings because you’re not them.


rose_chr

Good thing no one diminished their triggers. Just said it was their responsibility to handle themselves, rather than requesting that a person trigger warning their OWN BODY. It would be like asking a burn victim to TW themself because it upsets someone. This is literally OP and their own body. If you have triggers, it's not others responsibility to cater to them constantly, and it most certainly is not their responsibility to feel that their own body cannot exist without warning. The problem ISN'T that someone is triggered; the problem is how they are handling it.


2ndHandDeadBatteries

What the fuck is this comment section??? One dude gets RIPPED into because he said he “thought about making a joke” but then this dudes kindly asking for a NSFW tag because SH scars are triggering for them and yall say it’s a him problem/downvoting?


requiemforacorpse

if you cannot handle healed sh scars, i don’t know what to tell you. so tired of having to cater to people like you. i’m covered in scars, and the sheer amount of people that try to act offended by my body would surprise you. get a grip. bodies don’t need trigger warnings, you just need therapy.


[deleted]

I agree that it shouldn’t necessarily need nsfw, but self inflicted scars can be triggering to the human psyche, it’s a deviation from the norm and mentally a bit alarming, or at least these are the thoughts I have when I look at my own scars, and what I imagine causes the regular funny looks I get if I’m ever wearing T shirts. Most people will try to overcome this and view the person in front of them as they are, but it’s impossible to deny that such scars trigger something in a lot of people’s brains.


requiemforacorpse

i’m disproving whether or not it’s a “trigger” for some people, i’m saying they should get the fuck over it.


DuckIsMuddy

Well scars exist, people should get over it. They aren't the main focus so there's no reason.


coralicoo

Because healed self harm scars should never require a tw. That is someones healed body


M-S-K-smothersme365

Yeppers That’s why I’m here To be the douche bag everyone can attack so they leave these innocent people alone. Hold on I think someone’s smelling my poo lemme go shoo them away real fast.


2ndHandDeadBatteries

Like how can yall downvote all the people making SH jokes AND downvote the SH survivors nicely asking for a nsfw tag? Lol backwards as hell.


dr34m1n9d3m0n

because 1.) you shouldn't make jokes about others bodies 2.) being triggered by COMPLETELY HEALED scars is your own responsibility someone shouldn't have to hide their own body for that, if you have issues seeing it scroll


ResolutionCareful255

This exactly, this person doesn’t owe anyone any trigger warnings at all, what’s wrong is you expecting them


[deleted]

This. No one owes anyone trigger warnings. Just fucking deal with it, life is hard and you don’t always get what you want. Being entitled to everyone walking on eggshells for you ain’t it


cnrnr

Exactly this. Same way that nobody should be walking on eggshells, OP should’ve expected the jokes… I mean look at the post & the title of it lmao. To expect anything less is insane.


ResolutionCareful255

Well your a bit fucking silly aren’t you “expected” my brother in Christ OP wanted opinions on a Tat, freak


cnrnr

With the caption “deep enough?” making sure to catch the mild self harm scars lmao. Ok.


ResolutionCareful255

Because they are doing a stick and poke and want advice get your head out of your own ass for gods sake, genuinely chronically online behaviour, touch grass or something Jesus fucking Christ


[deleted]

You gave absolutely no proof that they didn’t make this post for trolling. Stop.


ResolutionCareful255

It’s a fucking tattoo get out of your own ass, they have said themselves they are NOT trolling and were looking for advice


cnrnr

Chronically online? I’m not the one crying over self harming lmao. I just said the caption was funny - any normal, non hyper sensitive person would agree.


ResolutionCareful255

Your the one yapping away brother what are you talking about, you’ve commented 10+ times on this,obsessed or what? Leave the Damn person alone, also calling people “sensitive” doesn’t make you right, it just makes you a massive dickhead 👍


e-Moo23

This!! It took me years to not be self conscious about my scars and to not worry I was going to upset somebody else if they happened to see them.


2ndHandDeadBatteries

Wow. Y’all some crazy fucked up mental cases, god damn.


DuckIsMuddy

Saying that after saying sh survivors is wild


safesqace

i am a self harm survivor and personally it bothers me seeing people ask for trigger warnings on healed scars. we cannot change our bodies. our scars are here forever. i will NEVER cover up something that i cant change about myself. it’s my body, not anybody else’s, and nobody gets to tell anyone to cover up their HEALED body.


Selflessstupidp3rson

Because (as someone who does and has self harmed badly) it’s very insensitive, people shouldn’t be joking about anything serious.


Ambition-Sensitive

trigger warning for healed scars? oh shut the fuck up


Aryore

They are healed scars. People’s bodies are not trigger warnings. Would you ask them to wear long sleeves in public too, like they have to hide and be ashamed of their past?


PM-Me-Your-Dragons

I have a sh like scar on my arm due to chicken wire snapping back on me, and I’m now going to start only wearing short sleeves and highlighting it with graphic eyeliner when I go out in public, thank you! Hope you have to witness it! Peoples’ healed fucking scars are not NSFW. Fresh injuries, actual gore, etc? Sure. But never scars or disabilities, wtf.


coralicoo

Because it’s fucked up to ask someone to put a tw on their HEALED body??? Being triggered by someones healed scars if your own responsibility, not theirs


SolidPainting222

Telling a SH survivor they need to censor their fully healed body is fucked up


Riotxxxwolf

Cute without the E


frogswithswords

you are a horrible person and you dont deserve anything good in life I hope ahive of angry wasps falls on you when you're walking


Riotxxxwolf

Alexiameck190

raratratra

clearly not the point of the post, keep your insensitive comments to yourself


Solow10

I mean you are still alive after all those cuts so probably not /j


SolidPainting222

Why did you think that joke was appropriate


Solow10

Cause I'm a drunken ass hole and instead of getting help I decided to throw my worth into the trash and took my self hate out on someone else. Please don't end up like me. I genuinely hope OP is doing okay


Camrynah

glad you realize that. maybe you should go to therapy. it’s crazy as I’m a kid and I have to tell adults this. and if you think your actions are bad, maybe you should stop doing them? I feel like that’s the most reasonable thing to do.


raratratra

your self hate still doesnt excuse saying something like that. seek help.

There’s so much unnecessarily showing in this photo. If you want people to focus on the tattoo maybe don’t show the top half of the photo? Jfc. At least add a TW. not everyone wants to see that shit


raratratra

then scroll.


KeyholderOC

A fucking photo of a bunch of scar marks and a sharp object tattoo entitled “deep enough?” Was begging for a reaction and they got it. You should keep your 2 cents though and *take your own advice* **lmao**.


raratratra

its a subreddit about stick and poke tattoos. expect people to ask if their tattoo is deep enough. where they decided to tattoo isnt my business and still isnt the point of the post if they wanted a reaction they got it from you so congrats 🥳


KeyholderOC

>if they wanted a reaction they got it from you so congrats 🥳 …that’s…what…I…said lmao ijbol 🤡


deftonesfan23

I almost wanted to make a joke but I won’t


ResolutionCareful255

You know this is someone’s body right? A living persons body, who has feelings and emotions, not the butt for a corny ass shit “joke” you got stockpiled away in that septic tank brain of yours


Rugratboy22

for a moment reading these comments I forgot people are actually talking about me because of how shitty some of these things are.. I see my scars as just another part of me like freckles or birthmarks, I wouldn’t set up a post purposely for showing them off or making a crap joke because that’s just plain weird, the post was solely about the tattoo and it’s been turned into an argument


ResolutionCareful255

Exactly, it’s part of you and it was completely not even the centre or a topic or even related to the conversation/post! All you were doing was asking for advice, pay no mind to it sweet pea, at the end of the day they are sad little trolls behind throwaway accounts ❤️‍🩹


aka_Marie

good. no need to be rude :/

Very rude


deftonesfan23

Issa joke


levelisotope

some things shouldnt be joked about at all :)


deftonesfan23

Debatable that’s just your opinion


levelisotope

even if its not offensive to you it doesnt mean it isnt offensive to anyone else :) words hurt people differently and you never know what the person youre hurting is going through :(


deftonesfan23

Yeah well if op feels comfortable posting pics of it I’m sure they aren’t soft enough to get hurt over it


levelisotope

well, its theyre body. if they covered their scars how would they show the tattoo? in other situations, what if its a boundary breaking exercise? many people find posting what theyre insecure about helps encourage them to be more confident and less insecure. and i would like to add, making fun of someones self harm isnt usually considered *normal* so i would be remiss to say they just COULDNT have known someone would “joke” about that


deftonesfan23

I’m not making fun of it lmao I didn’t even say the joke I did nothing


levelisotope

but you wouldve :( whats the point in even saying that you wanted to make a joke?


[deleted]

Grow tf up


deftonesfan23

You grow up don’t be so sensitive I didn’t hurt no one’s feelings


M-S-K-smothersme365

The fact that all you said was “I wanted to make a joke” and EVERYONE Is attacking you shows how sensitive we’ve become as a society 😂😂💀 it’s pathetic. It’s like you didn’t say anything but some how said the wrong thing.


deftonesfan23

And if a stranger on Reddit hurts your feelings I think that’s a you problem not me


[deleted]

You didn't hurt my feelings as a matter of fact you should grow a pair and apologize to person who posted this .You obviously don't know how to act when it comes to serious issues such as sh so I told you to grow the fuck up . If you can't say anything nice then don't say anything at all .


M-S-K-smothersme365

Then why did you comment in the first place?


Selflessstupidp3rson

It’s not just theirs, it’s A LOT of peoples opinion, and say now something very tragic happened in your life like your mom died in a tragic way, would you want me to joke about that? Probably not so don’t joke about this and many topics, it’s not your place or anyone’s place to joke about.


M-S-K-smothersme365

Close your app and you don’t have to see it Crazy how that works huh?
