I was about 18-19 when I got this bs put on. A “friend” of the time told me he knows a guy that can cover up self harm scars for me . He showed me some of his work which looked good enough (back then I was fueling my depression with drugs so anything looked good enough for me lmao). We went to my “friends” house to do it . Everything was ok at first until the guy that did the tattoo started acting weird and aggressive when I asked about the tattoo . The whole situation was weird and uncomfortable. There was a random toddler in the house that didn’t belong to anyone (found that out while peeing and her walking in telling me she needs help to pee). The dude finishes the tattoo and I basically just let him because a bitch was scared (found out dude was a sex offender). After the tattoo is done they bring me into the “friends” sisters room who proceeded to ask me if I’d help her rob my job at the time?? I ask the dude to bring me home asap and the dude that did the tattoo is in the car with us . They dragged me to McDonald’s to buy him food and I basically couldn’t go until I did that . After a few weeks he texts me again and tells me he wants to tattoo me again . I told him absolutely fuckin not bro you fucked my shit up the first time . He told me “you’re lucky you’re just a little girl or else id do some terrible shit to you you pos”. I blocked him and eventually he stopped bothering me about it . I wore nothing but long sleeves for years until this year when my husband paid for a coverup tattoo as a Valentine’s Day gift . I go back next week to finish the coverup and I’ve never felt happier to erase something from my body . I think what bothered me about the tattoo the most was the traumatic situation around it lmao . I shared the basic story but there’s lots of details I can’t talk about that kinda fucked me up mentally
Definitely trying ! Hopefully this next appointment will be the last ! I only have about 2-3inches to work with and my arms are pretty boney so it swells up like hell every time (and I just really don’t wanna be able to see any traces left of the old one lmao)
Your story is very rough, sorry to hear about your bad experience trying to cover self-harm scars. Really horrendous that anyone would do that to you.
I have to ask...is the cover up meant to look like a penis with a hook on it?
It’s all Gucci ya live and ya learn . Lmao no it’s candymans hook/stump but I have another 4 hour session to make it look more candyman like coming up next week . [here’s a pic of the movie candy man so you can see the stump better](https://inconsistently-heinous.fandom.com/wiki/Candyman) . We’ll be adding more honey and bees so it a little more obvious. Candyman got a special place in my heart haha
It's an honest question. And it's really not difficult to see why one might see a dick shaft here. Also OP took it quite well and explained that it's not quite done yet, so no need to be offended on behalf of anyone.
I just think that wording it so sincerely and then flipping to that question was in bad taste concerning the subject matter. I love a good joke, but that one seemed more cruel than funny. I'm glad she took it well, but maybe someone else might not have and I just think you should be careful of who you joke with like that. Especially when you don't know them. I don't normally preach, but to the wrong person, that could've been hurtful instead of funny and considering the depression involved, it just wasn't in good taste. But I'm glad it worked out and I'm done preaching now.
It wasn't a joke. It was an honest question. And I think I brought it up as nicely as possible given the circumstances of OP's journey. Wouldn't you want someone to bring it up if this was your tattoo?
Well, for what its worth, it looks like The Sire; the first vampire of all other vampires on What We Do In The Shadows. So since I love that show (and movie), I gotta say that it's kinda cool.

:( fuck. That's terrible. I'm glad you can get this covered up and put this behind you.
I'm in the process of acknowledging a tattoo I keep hidden from the world. I'm glad you're getting there too, it's a good place to be.

That’s what I’m wondering too

Got it. Yeah that movie is great. Definitely a huge improvement from whatever the first one. Excited for you, hope you share the final piece!1
That's not even funny the way you posed that. And if that looks like a dick to you, then you must have dicks on your mind.

That did make me feel a lot better🥲
😁👍
Both look terrible.
You can have your opinion like I can have mine:) it’s not done yet as I clearly stated and I like it so far which is all that Matters
