"PSA... During the spooky season, you
may be tempted to get something with activated charcoal in it because it looks cool - BUT!! if you're taking medications, it may weaken the medication! Especially important to consider with something like birth control!

For everyone on HRT, activated charcoal FLUSHES it out of your system. PLEASE stay away from it!
This includes T, E, and birth control, as well as most medications.
Be safe!! If you're making something for someone, just use black sesame paste, squid ink, or artificial colour

additional note to be added:
this only affects orally ingested medication, if you are only on injectibles then activated charcoal will not affect anything other than nutrient absorption"

"this is the first time i've seen color tattoos on dark skin that actually look vibrant and pigmented!!!!!

once i was talking to a dark skinned lady who told me that she was jealous of my pasty skin because she wants color tattoos, which her artist said wasnt possible with her skin tone. i sent her to mine, and he proceeded to go off about how dark skin accepts greens, yellows, and white beautifully, and that her previous artist just lacked the skills to use those 3 colors as highlights to make other colors pop more. if you are dark skinned and your tattoo artists says you cant have bright colors, find a new one"
