I’ve only had my triple vertical helixes for a bit under a month but I’d love to change them to spikes in 2-ish more months if healing well.
I’m not sure what to look for in finding reputable online shops so any recommendations would be much appreciated!
the shorter hair is new!!! so i don’t have a lot of pics with it 🥹
This is immediately after versus today, 5 days after. The swiveling feels uncomfortable but should i just wait a few weeks then change the jewelry during the downsize?
I’m (F19) a rising sophomore, and my parents’ controlling behavior is only getting worse. They’re helping pay for my school and apartment, which i greatly appreciate, but they’re constantly tracking my location and saying terrible things to me.
During my last semester, I was not allowed to hang up on calls or go out without them knowing. Summer at home has been so triggering and they’re constantly threatening to stop financially helping me. Just last week I was banned from wearing makeup with that overhanging threat :/
I’m currently studying engineering, and so my course load is packed. I did the math and there is no way I’d be able to work enough hours at a part time job to pay for the apartment on my own. And they refuse to co-sign on any loans.
I want to go no contact so bad since my mental health has gotten much worse thanks to them, and they only impose more and more restrictions. It’s just seemingly impossible considering my current financial situation. I can’t quit my lease and find a cheaper place either. And they track my bank account plus have banned me from working, so they monitor any direct deposits. This makes the prospect of working without them knowing basically impossible.
I am just at a loss for what to do since I can’t take another 3-4 years of this. I know i’m probably asking for impossible advice, but even plain encouragement would be nice.
I’m a bit paranoid that my current spacing is awkward since it’s bunched together. I was thinking of tackling the back of my arm next but it might be a while until I have the funds unfortunately :(
I love the tattoos individually and can’t tell if I’ve just been looking at my arm too long and getting in my head. Does it look okay as is??
the maintenance is so much easier haha, i’m very pleased!
edit: thanks sm for all the sweet comments! <3
