yeah because you’re removing the skin that encapsulates the pigments, and new unpigmented scar tissue grows in its place.

Opinions on Biohackers Assemble?


Maybe @amal wants to give his “usual” talk there, maybe mention the new payment stuff and the titan?

But personally, even if amal talks I wouldn’t spend $99 on an online con


@biohackersassemble

This is why I don’t like to identify as a biohacker, because I get confused with these snake oil salesmen. The supplement folks are not one of us.

Yeah, found this one online, too - I like the idea, but the black part is too
 dunno, messy? Just my personal opinion :wink: But scars on a blacked out arm might look really good, actually my tattooist is thinking about the same. Just go to a good artist - I’m a bit irritated by the very different scar-sizes of the picture you posted^^

Just looked at that a bit


I mean, to each his own, as long as everyone’s happy
 but why on earth is eating healthy, sleeping enough and monitoring my own heartbeat or whatever “biohacking”? Hell, I’ve been a biohacker for much longer than I thought! :smile:

There you go @yeka I saved you $99 and some awkward conversation with some mouth-breathers.

As I said, I wouldn’t spend money on that.
But thanks, it looks super non-serious now, even more than when I looked at it :smiley:

D: the old naming problem
Biohackers = snake oil
Transhumanism = snake oil
Grinders = grindr
Posthumanism = too extreme
Cyborgs = a bit fishy
Implantees = lame
Augmented Humans = Cyborg Supremacy

That’s called a scam - or a fad, it’s you’re being generous.

I never call myself a biohacker in large part because no-one outside the community of those who think they’re biohackers knows what the hell a biohacker is.

And yes, I don’t want to be identified with some new-age vitamin supplement bullcrap neither.

Wow - that looks just amazing! Impressive contrast between the solid black and the very delicate wing-artwork
 love it! :heart_eyes:

Looks good!

You know what though? I was trying to imagine that motif on my own arm, and it felt really distressing: I would live blacking out so much of my own natural skintone like a true loss, quite akin to when I lost feeling in 3 of my fingers as a kid.

Funny how we all react differently.

Does the solid black fill take less time to heal, but dump a lot more ink? I’ve only ever had solid black lettering.

Don’t think so
 skin is irritated, guess it even takes a bit more time (as, it’s irritated everywhere, not just some lines^^). But I don’t have solid black tattoos really, just some “normal” ones, so I guess I let @Backpackingvet answer that :wink:

Healing takes the same amount of time. I wet healed my blackwork and it was a lot easier of a heal, ie; almost zero itching and scabbing, but still took the same time. Can also be hard to get a consistent black & takes a lot of time too which is why I’m glad my artist went with a 25 mag flat shader (50 was too large). Still took 27 hours in total though :sweat_smile:

Hey thanks! I wasn’t expecting the design, kinda glad he threw it in.

Hey fair! I guess I never have loved the skin I am in, so am trying to.

Also, you would hate the otherside


No clue. I feel like my whole arm is on fire. I cannot see this taking less time to heal currently.

Please define that word for me.

23 today for me. I had 2 artist working on me at once.
