Getting tattoos on reta and shipping times?

[Tator]

I know everyone's different but without dropping source names, how long did it take for you guys to receive your reta?
I'm going to order reta today and I have my first tattoo appointment at the end of this month. Ive seen posts of people getting more sensitive skin on here and curious if reta will make the tattoo pain worse?
I know i can just delay the reta until after but if it doesnt affect the pain as much ill just start it when I get it. Or tolerate it since I want both started quickly.

Reta titration isn’t quick, it takes time to get to doses that have any noticeable effects. The lower doses are just getting your body used to it. If you started at the normal titration schedule today it would be extremely unlikely you’ll experience any change at all by month end.

To answer your question, domestic deliveries often take a few days. Overseas, 2-5 weeks. But can take much longer.

Are you getting the snazzy glp1forum logo tattooed on your other shoulder, to go with Mom/heart/arrow?

I believe sensitive skin is an extremely rare side effect of these drugs, and I don't think it manifests in a way that would have much bearing on needling, beyond its intrinsic pain. Worry about and plan mitigation for GI tract issues instead.

I have experienced terrible skin sensitivity as a result of titrating up too quickly. Its largely gone now, but it was a good three weeks of annoyance. It only happens to less than 10% of reta users, and getting a tattoo won't bother it.

I started noticing skin sensitivity on my legs and lower back about three weeks ago. It’s still there, but it’s gotten milder.

I began a full back tattoo on February 18 that extends down to my butt. I’ve done two back-to-back sessions on February 18 and 19, another session last Thursday, and I have two more coming up this Thursday and Friday. All 7 hr sessions. Some areas weren’t too bad, but my spine was SPICY almost a 10/10—and the lower back was brutal too.

It really depends on how long your sessions are. I was advised to try a numbing gel for my last session. I used Dr. Numb, which helped for the first 2.5 hours, but once it wore off, the remaining five hours were absolutely brutal. I felt like the pain hits you harder after.

I can share some experience after the 17th, when wo are going to complete my arm sleeve.
At that point, I will only be on reta for a little over three weeks and honestly I don' anticipate much. On the other hand my artist asked me multiple times over the last session if I even feel anything or if I just suffer in silence as I just sit still. It doen't seem to bother me too much or I am very very good at zoning out. not sure ...
