A person with long dark hair, seen from behind, stands in water at sunset. The image has text overlayed: 'MY TATTOOS and the pain intensity' and 'lemon8 @laylasilvarichard'.
A forearm tattoo of the phrase 'and the sun will rise again' in script. The caption describes it as the first tattoo, with a pain level of 5/10, noting initial fear but underwhelmed pain due to high adrenaline.
A person with a floral outline tattoo on their forearm, covered in plastic wrap, making a kissy face. The caption states it bled a lot, was similar to the first tattoo's pain, but the arm's uncomfortable position made it 7/10 pain.
my tattoos and the pain intensity
first of all…i cant wait to go take more beach pics bc the first photo is so pinterest of me teehee. anyways, anywhere on the arm pretty much feels like the same level of pain until you move towards the elbow. the ribcage was the absolute worst ever. never ever unless its a tattoo you want bad.

Is “positive vibes only” bad advice?
When people tell me “positive vibes only,” especially when I’m in a tough place, it honestly makes me feel worse. It feels like they’re dismissing what I’m going through instead of trying to understand it. I know they might mean well, but in that moment, I don’t need fake positivity… I need empathy
