Tattoo Today!!

Hi guys!

Today is the day I get my tattoo! I'm a little scared but also excited. For me, this feels like a transition milestone because the tattoo I'm getting is, in a way, symbolic of my transition and of my new outlook on life. We're going to try to video the first few minutes if the artist will allow it. If we manage that, I'll post a YouTube link. Either way, I'll post some photos after I get it done.

Wish me luck!!! :lol:

A buzz cut! That's awesome! How does it feel? I got a pretty close cut one time and couldn't stop running my fingers through it.

This picture is just really wicked. It looks like the fish is sweating blood:

This one is of the bandage after I pulled it off. Check it out if you want, but it is kinda nasty:

Here is a pic of the tattoo about 3 hours later, after I pulled off the bandage:

Thanks everyone! I'm still loving the tattoo. It feels a little stiff right now, but seems to be healing nicely. Showing it off has been fun too. Little old ladies at the gym stare at me. Muah ha ha!!

I've didn't go the "tattoo" route. Couldn't find a tattoo which said ME-ME-ME!! Wouldn't mind a phoenix on one arm & Bengal tiger / dragon on the other... :D

Hey Stranded

Cool tattoo!!

Thanks, man. I considered a phoenix one too, but ultimately went with the koi. There are some pretty awesome phoenix tattoos.

      I like shopping for fashion clothes, finding something nobody else is wearing

      I don't even need half a hand to count mine.  A combination of Protestant prudery, total lack of sex education, and my being the wrong gender.  And, it turns out, asexual, though that may be a product of the other factors.
    • ClaireBloom
      That's a great suggestion. One thing I did was start a Pinterest board.  If I see something I like, I pin it without overthinking it too much.  Eventually a pattern emerges of the kind of clothes that appeal to me.  I'm very concerned about being age and venue-appropriate so I concentrate on more "everyday" outfits rather than the sexy stuff.  Not that the sexy stuff isn't fun though.....

      Thank you, @Vidanjali! I'm in the process of applying to universities to transfer to (I got to a local community college currently), and I've got my eye on a specific one but I'm apply to 2-3 more just in case.  I'm also trying to apply for a job!  Another minor update is that I'm able to purchase trans tape now! I got it in blue because I like colors and pink was sold out, but hopefully the adhesive reacts well to my skin and I can use it to bind. This is another weapon I may have in the ongoing battle with dysphoria, but I think if it works, it'll work really well!  Fingers crossed, and y'all have a good day!

      I can relate to looking in the mirror at a young age in life, whenever I explained to my parents, it resulted in a car ride to the hospital emergency room.

      Hi all, a bit more about the story - I just realised the first message didn't tell you much! It's called 'Going Out', set in the UK, and it's by me, Nicola Atherton, if you search Amazon. Have a little read of the first two chapters which are there for free in the 'Look Inside' bit. It's a lovely long read, a gradual, detailed, emotional story which I’m sure some will find at times painfully raw, while at other times unbearably exciting. I wrote it for us lot :) It starts off as a gradual, realistic intro into Amy’s solitary world, before she accepts what she’s always known to be true. She makes friends with girls and meets men, and her story plays out in a way that others have said they enjoyed very much. I think you'll all love it :) PAPERACK copy.pdf

      Wow! Hopefully that encounter is amicable! I can only imagine what might be going through your mind right now!   I was a bit of a prude, I don't even need a whole hand of fingers to count my sexual partners on. Good old fear-based Catholic "sex ed" did its number on me.   I get nervous walking into men's rooms. I don't look the part for the either restroom these days, I guess. I did use the women's at the convention I volunteered at (the restrooms were temporarily made gender free though), it was nice having a stall to use without waiting.   The whole bathroom debate is so stupid. Genital-based restroom assignments aren't going to stop people intending abuse and there are laws for handling them already. It's the fear the laws strike and the conditions they creates is the problem, fomenting distrust and hate. Who cares who is in the stall next to you? Let them pee in peace!

      Good morning! Just finishing my delayed coffee after fasting for routine bloodwork.   Just had my annual physical and I came out to my Dr. He was so kind and said if/when I want to start HRT they have a couple endocrinologists who specialize in transition and he could give me a referral. So nice! Not quite ready to jump into that yet, but he was so understanding. Another small step in my social transition. I feel so happy! 😊

      They seem to think that if they pretend we don't exist, we won't.

      Not a quote, but a poem; "Invictus," by William Henley.  I had it hanging on the wall of my office for many years.   "I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul."
