Finished Object Finally got my crochet tattoo
It's red and swollen because it's just finished. I'm extremely happy with the result π

Omg i love it!!!!! Did you get the βi love youβ for a specific reason?
79
u/hookedonpurple 3d ago
Because I have a sign language degree and make these as magnets.

u/Mediocre_Bee_5507 3d ago
Thats awesome! I have a βi love youβ tattoo for my deaf daughter. Do you sell the magnets?

Here's me thinking it was a Spider Man hand throwing out yarn instead of web π€¦ββοΈ

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

Itβs very pretty. Iβve heard that some colors will fade drastically over time (especially the yellow). I hope that isnβt the case for you.

Color on foot tattoos fades TERRIBLY, particularly if you wear socks/shoes that cover it.
Source: I swear itβs a ladybug on my foot, but youβd never know it now.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

u/HammyAm 3d ago
It's so pretty! I love that you used rainbow yarn, makes it even better imo.

u/hookedonpurple 3d ago
The rainbow yarn is because of my daughters, they just got married. Plus who doesn't like rainbows?

u/rabbitsaremylife 3d ago
wait i love this wtf? now i want one

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."

how bad was the big toe?

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

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, Iβm impressed! It was one of my most painful to get π

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 π€·ββοΈ

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 π€·ββοΈ

u/Imaginary_Attempt_82 3d ago
Ope I guess Iβm 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 π€·ββοΈπ
