Hii, I was wondering if you could talk a bit more about your glowing tats, did they heal any different than other "normal" tats? idk if you're comfortable sharing where you have those tats but does the thickness of the skin matter? Or underlaying fat or muscle? Is this something I could just ask a regular tattoo artist to do for me?
ty in advance, I love your blog <33
So far, I haven’t gotten tattoos with them. There is a friend of mine pioneered to get stick and poke tattoos done by mixing a 1:10 ratio of the strontium aluminate glow powder with sterile vegetable glycerine. you really wanna use a stick and poke though. The powder would destroy a tattoo gun. It has a Moh’s hardness scale of 7.6. Thickness of skin probably holds some factor here, but I imagine you’d use the same protocols as with any tattoo.
Note: do not get any on cybertruck’s windshield. It will scratch the living fuck out of it.
So far, I have glowing areas on my arm, cleavage, above my clitoris, oh a near my tailbone after I had to get that that implant removed (why the fuck not lmao).
CW for blood/extreme body mod procedures:
The ones I have gotten have been from scarification. The very first time I had someone do it on me, they literally peeled off a solid chunk of skin on my arm. That was fucking excruciating. I got one segment done, but we didn’t have any numbing agents so I had to stop after that. That red mark on my arm was from me scratching my arm to distract myself while the flesh was getting ripped out.
That said, other parts of my body just had areas cut into them (or were healing areas from other body mods). The cutting isn’t all that bad. I won’t call it pleasant, but I’ve had some rather aggressive tattoo shading sessions that were equally unpleasant.
Sadly as you might guess, a regular tattoo artist typically can’t do this, but a body mod artist (there’s a difference) can depending on the legality in your area.
One more thing: I’m going to try implanting some little glowing spots onto myself by using a 2.5mm titanium dermal roller on my skin while there is strontium aluminate over the surface. It’s important to mention that this isn’t something that has been tested afaik. It hopefully should work, but I’m not entirely sure.
There are some risks with this. For instance, titanium might shed off from the needles and get into my skin. Despite what you’d think, titanium only has a hardness scale of 6. That said, higher grades of titanium are biocompatible so any titanium particles should just stay in there (just like the thousands of other metal particles I have from various jobs). But I’m willing to take a calculated risk and give this a try on a part of my skin.
