Some body art I did for trans pride march since i couldn't be in the sun
Hey! I wanted to share this body art I did for the trans march in Toronto this weekend! I wanted to show off my scars and pride of being in transition and the artistry of the Black queer community.
ask your doctor before doing this as sun damage can affect top surgery scars!!!!
- I used some sun screen applied to my scars and let it dry.
- I applied a layer of scar tape from Amazon over the scars
- I applied a thin layer of gauze (like 1/4 inch wide) on top the length of the scars
- Then, I placed a layer of transtape over top
- Used multi surface paint to paint the tape (do it on a counter not when its on ur body like I did lol)
- I had nipple covers on until the sun set, apply the same routine just I didnt paint the nip covers.
- pack a mini bottle of jojoba oil for quick removel in case
- I used body paint crayons and eyeliner for the words
Et voila
Transtape and binding can be a place of artistic expression! Im proud to be in the various stages of transition and wanted to share
Ps: I gained alot of weight since my last post so ignore the glow down post op lol 😭💀
