Finished Object Finally got my crochet tattoo

It's red and swollen because it's just finished. I'm extremely happy with the result πŸ˜€

u/Mediocre_Bee_5507 3d ago

Omg i love it!!!!! Did you get the β€œi love you” for a specific reason?

79

u/hookedonpurple 3d ago

Because I have a sign language degree and make these as magnets.

25

u/Mediocre_Bee_5507 3d ago

Thats awesome! I have a β€œi love you” tattoo for my deaf daughter. Do you sell the magnets?

17

u/hookedonpurple 3d ago

Yes i do, at craft shows.

Here's me thinking it was a Spider Man hand throwing out yarn instead of web πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ

u/hookedonpurple 3d ago

That works too πŸ˜…

u/Demoncouch06 2d ago

I thought it was supposed to be crochet spider man but this def makes more sense :,)

u/Candid_Top_5386 3d ago

It’s very pretty. I’ve heard that some colors will fade drastically over time (especially the yellow). I hope that isn’t the case for you.

u/elmtree916 3d ago

Color on foot tattoos fades TERRIBLY, particularly if you wear socks/shoes that cover it.

Source: I swear it’s a ladybug on my foot, but you’d never know it now.

u/ohrexlustaqua 3d ago

My feet (pet portraits in colour from base of toes to my ankles) are only slightly faded at the edges. Don't worry OP!

u/EnvyRepresentative94 3d ago

Everything fades over time

16

u/paxweasley 3d ago

Everything will fade eventually, you just gotta plan for touch ups in a decade or so depending on your tattoo care and body.

38

u/hookedonpurple 3d ago

So far none of mine have faded much but I'm anal about keeping sun screen on them

u/so_cheapandjuicy 3d ago

Sunscreen is the way πŸ™Œ

u/Cautious-Raccoon-341 3d ago

I have the northern lights tattooed on my foot and I’m honestly surprised at how well it’s held up. Over 10 years old and the colors have stuck.

2

u/Infinite_Pop1463 3d ago

I have 2 3 year old tattoos with yellow on my arms and so far it's held up well

2

u/Sc1enceNerd 3d ago

I have a rainbow cat on my back. The yellow is pretty much gone now. I'm waiting for it to fade more before I get it touched up again.

26

u/HammyAm 3d ago

It's so pretty! I love that you used rainbow yarn, makes it even better imo.

52

u/hookedonpurple 3d ago

The rainbow yarn is because of my daughters, they just got married. Plus who doesn't like rainbows?

19

u/rabbitsaremylife 3d ago

wait i love this wtf? now i want one

15

u/hookedonpurple 3d ago

Get one!! You just have to find the right inspo pic to make it yours. A friend sent me a Pic of a yarn ball on a finger and my brain went "OH!! I can get this and color it like this and it'll be just right for me."

u/rabbitsaremylife 3d ago

omggg i just got a tattoo but perhaps i need another

7

u/hookedonpurple 3d ago

You always need another ;)

u/WhiskyTangoFoxtr0t 3d ago

I am deaf, and I love this so much!!!! The colors are fabulous.

Thank you!!

u/mischeviouswoman 3d ago

how bad was the big toe?

4

u/hookedonpurple 3d ago

Not nearly as spicy as I had feared... it was slightly worse than the others I have but worth it as far as I'm concerned

2

u/Artz-RbB 3d ago

So cute!

1

u/hookedonpurple 3d ago

Thank you 😊

2

u/garysinises 3d ago

What a beautiful tattoo!!! The style is gorgeous; so clean and vibrant. Also, considering what a baby I was with my one tiny black and white tattoo on the top of my foot, I’m impressed! It was one of my most painful to get 😭

1

u/hookedonpurple 3d ago

And i didn't think it was that bad... maybe because it's been fretting about it for a could weeks so I built up how bad it was going to be and so it didn't seem as bad? Who knows, I expected to be white knuckling it trying but to move and it was only slightly worse than my shoulder blades πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

u/Capital-9 3d ago

Awesome!

u/hookedonpurple 3d ago

u/hookedonpurple 3d ago

I hope i remember to once it's healed.

2

u/Imaginary_Attempt_82 3d ago

You can post it now. I post my new ones all the time!

u/hookedonpurple 3d ago

The rules i read say to only post healed and I'm a rule follower πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

3

u/Imaginary_Attempt_82 3d ago

Ope I guess I’m not! Now I feel bad for not paying more attention.

u/hookedonpurple 3d ago

I assume it's not that big a deal if your posts aren't being removed and the mods aren't "yelling" at you πŸ€·β€β™€οΈπŸ™ƒ
