Lost on what birth control to use

So I've (21) tried a bunch of different birth control methods through the years, starting when I was 16 I believe? I started on the depo shot and it was honestly great! But my doctor didn't tell me it wasn't meant for long term use and also didn't warn me about the calcium issues so when I went to see a different doctor they were very mad to learn that I had been on it for a little over 3 years with no calcium supplements and suggested I stop using it. No biggie I thought, looked through other options and thought the nexplanon implant seemed like a good fit, so I started using that but only had that for about a year or two before i started getting horrible side effects (heat intolerance, nausea, vomiting, weight loss) and it started rejecting out of my arm. So I had it removed and started looking for my next best bet, saw the nueva ring and decided to try that, but it didn't take long for me to realize that one wasn't going to work because it was making me very irritable and snappy, which was causing issues with my relationship and family. I'm now currently not on anything and only using condoms but it's scary not having a backup method and I'll be honest I miss not needing to use a condom all the time. I can't use the pills because I already used to take prescription medication before and would rarely remember to take it daily, let alone at the same time every day. I know the IUD seems like a trusted option but I get terrible cramps so I worry how bad my cramps after insertion will be, not to mention sex can get painful for me so I can't imagine how bad it would feel having the iud inserted. I'm just so lost on what to do!

Sorry for the ramble

Tldr: tried the shot, implant, and ring but they didn't work out, cant use the pill and scared of IUD. Advice? Tips? Encouragement? Anything?

My eyeshadow palette

I've been using this pallet since highschool, just saw it at hot topic one day and made my mom buy it. It's been through a lot, the silver color actually was broken not too long after I bought it because a friend accidentally knocked it out of my hands. I just recently saw someone reselling this pallet for over $100 and it makes me feel bad about the state my palette is in xD

Self done tattoos

So when I was younger (I wanna say maybe 15/16?) I did some tattoos on myself, mainly stick and pokes but I have like three done with a gun as well. I am not proud of most of them and you can tell they're done badly. I'm now about to turn 21, and haven't done a self done tattoo since then. Would having these hurt my chances of becoming an apprentice? Should I get them covered? Any tips help thank you!
