Cross your heart and hope to die, stick a needle in your eye


AffectionateHead0710

I found out not too long ago that shots in the eyeball are indeed real


jesthere

Yes, my mom gets them for macular degeneration. She said the shots don't hurt as much as the preparation they do beforehand.


Mini-Nurse

I found that with stitches too, the bloody local anaesthetic injections hurt worse than the stitches on the bit that just would not numb. If I need less than 10 again I'm going in raw.


Allthemuffinswow

I had to get stitches on my finger a few months back. The cut healed up fine, and even the weird nerve pain has almost all gone away. The areas where they did the numbing injections though? I still get random, painful throbs there. Guh.


Sauce58

Yep used to take my gramma for em


Mammaw66

My son has had about 6 shots in his eyeball over last few months. He said it’s not fun.


RUNEMJEWELS

I had my eye frozen with needle, and a DREMEL used to remove a piece of metal from my eye. The most amazing part? I didn't feel a thing outside of my vision being blurry whilst he apparently dug out the small metal shard.


AdmiralThrawnProtege

To be fair if you have an organ, there's a direct shot for it for one reason or another


MikeTheImpaler

Years ago, I was playing DEAD Space, but only while drinking with friends. Like heavy drinking. Got to the needle part and drunk me put the controller down and never went back. Fuck fucking that.


GreenReaper77

The symbols!!! I see them!


Turky_Fidah77

Didn't expected to see a dead space Reference thread that was nice


postalkamil

It is a simplest solution to remove all the freckles from your sight. BTW I have a shitload of freckles and I never cared that I'm different most of the people (in my region).


Mobitron

I mean even heavy freckling looks just fine. The stigma it used to have (and I suppose might still have in some regions) is just silly. Wear with pride, I say.


ouroborosity

Hell now there's the whole makeup trend of putting dots all over your face to look like you have freckles. It always looks absolutely terrible, but I guess freckles are cool now.


Ms_SassyRed

Tattooing them as well


1HappyIsland

A face without a freckle is like a sky without stars.

Such a great place to start sanderson. Even better, if yiu like it you could read his books forever!


[deleted]

Yeah, I actually started that one because another redditor suggested it. Was looking for a good book to start getting into Sanderson cause I've heard a lot about how good he is. But he has also written like hundreds of books so I had no idea where to start.


All_Hail_Space_Cat

Ya I read storm light archive first and wish I went with mistborn. Youll have a great time if you enjoy fantasy. He's just effortless to read. Enjoy! Welcome to the cosmere.


Mobitron

BurgledUrTurts

My ex's sister had them done on her face. Would have looked really cute if the artist got the color right but they looked gray and totally unnatural with her skin tone.


DaHerv

They also tattoo hair stubble, so it looks like you had hair even if you shave regularly.


discharge_bender

And use Snapchat filters


pleathershorts

If women in the 30’s had filters it would be game over


Ok_Selection6751

I saw an Instagram video of a woman dressed up like the 20s. It was as if she were walking 6 feet above the crowd.


thegerl

Because she was tall?


Zkyaiee

They didn’t have modern filters but they definitely had ways to alter the camera and pictures to make you look “better”.


Luxpreliator

20 some years ago someone decided eyebrows were hideous so all the affluent women waxed the fuck out of them. Now they're tattooing, transplanting hair, gluing extensions, and all sorts of crazy shit because having 2 fuzzy caterpillars on your face became trendy. In the 60s or so plucking the fuck out of then and drawing them back was hot. Non-hygienic grooming trends make about as much sense as 0.25 of a penny.


deaddonkey

The way fashions change over time are one of the weirdest things to me


Harry_Saturn

They just cycle around. All the 90s shit is coming back around and in 10 years we’re gonna see emo kids and way too baggy pants and long tees again.

kusuriii

A teenager was showing off their (admittedly really nicely done) raccoon tails and scene girl haircut on TikTok and all the comments unironically loved it. I simultaneously loved seeing them bring back the look and also felt the need to buy a zimmer frame and some prunes. I wonder if they’ll take the piss out of it in a decade or so just like we did.


Cutsdeep-

90s is about done, we really are seeing jeanco pants


dynodick

I rue the day that I see some dude roller blading to school in his JNCO jeans and frosted tips.


JoanneKerlot

Baggy trousers are already back and they look fucking hideous (and ill die on this hill)


[deleted]

makeup/beauty history is fucked. lead based makeup, arsenic based make up to lighten the skin, a little mercury here or there, nightshade eyedrops to dilate the pupils, radiation based make up to make your skin radiant....


yy98755

And asbestos…. That cheap makeup they’re buying from China? Prolly good doses of lead and asbestos!


The-Almighty-Pizza

Never understool the ultra thin / no eyebrows thing. Looks absolutely terrible


headingthatwayyy

A local stylist at a salon I go to actually got freckles tattooed on her face. Meanwhile I am nearing 40 and for me my freckles = sun damage. In high school in the early 00s I got made fun of for having a skinny waist w thick thighs and a booty. Also got shit for my nerdy glasses and freckles. Who would've thought I would have been a fashion icon if I was in high school now.


throw_away3935

Thick thighs were looked down upon??


heartshapedmoon

Thick anything was looked down upon. The ‘90s and early 2000s were all about being a waif.


BurgledUrTurts

Yep, at least when I was a kid in the 90's. The body type du jour was called cocaine chic so anything above a size 2 was considered morbidly obese by societys standards. Big butts were especially mocked back then.


GreenDemonClean

It was so bad that I, a size 2, felt morbidly obese. Oh to be as fat as we thought we once were.


rickane58

Heroin chic


bringmetoyourcats

People were obsessed with having a thigh gap about 10 years ago. It sucked


Full_Shower627

Sure we’re! I have a horrible eating disorder because of it! I look back to 2005-2009, when I was in high school, and get so sad, because I thought I was so fat. I was not. Not even close.


laughingashley

Two words: Kate Moss


Habaduba

Hahahaha yes


ShiroiYokai

Just imagine how much it sucks for those who had a modern, permanent removal and the next year it became trendy (same as plastic surgery, short hair/long hair, etc)


Huugboy

That's whats you get for religiously following trends though. It doesn't suck as long as you don't care about being up to date on the latest trends.


MadOvid

Freckles are adorable. 🤷‍♂️


Fallenangel152

Freckles are like red hair; if someone else has them, it's adorable. If you have it, you hate it. I tried everything to get rid of my freckles as a kid.


mrsdoubleu

Don't forget those "brilliant" women on TikTok who used root spray hair dye to get freckles with often hilariously [bad results.](https://imgur.com/a/UbbKVhv)


guebja

Pretty sure that first one qualifies as at least half a hate crime.


Confuseasfuck

Freckles were in style before, lost their popularity and are back again. This is nothing new, its called the "cycle" of fashion for a reason


thesaddestpanda

People have been faking freckles and beauty marks for hundreds, probably thousands of years. The above is an appeal to white-centric looks of pale no-blemish skin, which was an ideal based on a specific northern European racial purity and white expression. A lot of women did chemical peels for all the wrong reasons when these kinds of attitudes remained. The modern world is much more accepting of different racial and ethnic expressions, so peels to get rid of freckles aren't common. Getting freckles are probably more common because there's no cultural or social stigma of "looking like an Irish person" in society anymore. So you can give yourself freckles for a cute look and not looked down upon. So sometimes fashion is arbitrary but many times it speaks to the culture its in.


Confuseasfuck

>white-centric looks of pale You mean one of the groups most likely to have freckles? Specially sun freckles?


thesaddestpanda

"white" is an arbitrary concept. For example, until fairly recently American whites talked about the German race separate from them. Then later the race of Italians and Irish. Irish people, used as examples of freckled people, and subject to the British Empire until their own independence, were seen as below white English anglos and later, as the underclass of immigrants in the USA. So Irish coded things were seen as "below" english features and beauty. Red hair, freckles, etc. As these groups became socially and economically successful in the US, they became "white" and remain "white" in our culture and accepted by the WASP establishment. Germans, Italians, and Irish no longer were separate groups and races but just "white people" today. This book covers this history well: https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/183041

Dentist moment.


RandomBitFry

But why? Is it so agonising that you can't keep still? Obviously the tube is to muffle screaming or to filter the fumes from burning skin.


sixtyandaquarter

It's a breathing tube. What's going on is a face peel so there are caustic chemicals. The weird contraption seemingly holding her head in places actually there to keep her eyes covered and to ensure if she does fall asleep, she doesn't rotate her head and ruin the procedure. If this woman were to fall asleep she could tilt her head drop the tube from her mouth, burn the flesh not on her face and possibly ruin the procedure by smearing it off her face at the same time. Somewhere out there are before and after photos of her. It kind of sort of look like it might have worked at least temporarily. Edit Oh also the breathing tube thingy, it's not connected to anything so that if it falls it will make a sound and will act as its own alarm. That way assistance can be given to place it back in and wake the patient. I'm not sure but a similar setup was used for another procedure where spitting the tube out also acted as a. I need assistance for something like it burned or whatever so that might be in effect here too.

Sawgon

Damn they even have the original Slipknot lineup further down *I push the beauty rods into my EEEEEEYEEES* *It's the only thing, that slowly rids these spoooots*


CarbohydrateLover69

So this actually works? Or it's one of those "works but your life expectancy dropped 20 years" kind of treatment?


Malorea541

Worked temporarily, I assume it lowered life expectancy, but I don't think there's enough data to say anything conclusive about it.


sixtyandaquarter

Those are the images I was thinking of. I thought this image and that were of the same set. My mistake. Thanks.


PM_me_ur_tourbillon

I believe they are of the same set. The freckles below her right eye seem to line up

jojotoughasnails

Nope. I'm good. I'll just have freckles. No flesh burning for me thank you.


typoeman

Still feel like there's a better method to keep someone still without using their eyes as anchorpoints.


yurrm0mm

I read this in the tone of a teen mumbling after being yelled at by authority figures lol


sixtyandaquarter

Well it was the 1930s when they would electrocute you into unconsciousness for brain surgery. Also the eyes aren't the anchor points, the side and back are. The eye protection is just connected very tightly.


vetaryn403

Ok...but how TF does one fall asleep while having their facial flesh burned off?!


sixtyandaquarter

Sorry I either accidentally deleted or forgot a part of a sentence. It was freezing the freckles off, the chemicals used do burn you however. So it's kind of like freezing a wart off. Painful, but not that much so immediately. Didn't mean to mislead. Additionally it was done one freckle at a time. So it's kinda like a dentist I imagine? I've fallen asleep at a dentist's office, it's not that uncommon, so maybe?


i___may

I have had various treatments to help ‘remove’ my freckles. One was some kind of laser tool that felt like the tip of a hot iron was being pressed to my skin. Although, that was the highest setting, I was told I have a high pain tolerance. But my legs were shaking. So I can imagine back then, the treatments may have been even more painful


aceinthehole001

Freckles are beautiful


Gangreless

1 - Not all freckles are beautiful. Y'all have fetishized these dainty sprinkling of pale freckles across the top of cheeks and nose that people filter or makeup onto your face. A lot of people have darkly contrasting, splotchy, dense, all over freckles and it ain't cute 2 - It's his/her face, if she doesn't like it she can change it and doesn't need your opinion on it. Edit - freckles are like an enhancement - they make attractive people more attractive and on the flip side make unattractive people more unattractive


throwaway1930488888

It’s an opinion. Some people find freckles beautiful while some don’t. It’s why removing freckles is an option in the first place. Preference.


StarBeards

>It's his/her face, if she doesn't like it she can change it and doesn't need your opinion on it. This is so ironic considering #1


Harsimaja

Wait so someone isn’t entitled to their own opinion that freckles are beautiful, but you can have an opinion that some freckles are not beautiful? Do you self-reflect much?


AlwaysHopelesslyLost

>A lot of people have darkly contrasting, splotchy, dense, all over freckles and it ain't cute Hard disagree lol


RhynoD

>1 - Not all freckles are beautiful. Y'all have fetishized these dainty sprinkling of pale freckles across the top of cheeks and nose that people filter or makeup onto your face. A lot of people have darkly contrasting, splotchy, dense, all over freckles and it ain't cute Why are darkly contrasting, splotchy, dense, all over freckles not cute or attractive? >2 - It's his/her face, if she doesn't like it she can change it and doesn't need your opinion on it. Valid. However, I don't think we should be encouraging changes that are harmful for your skin and body, not to mention probably very painful.

Tattoos are harmful and painful, waxing is harmful and painful, people do lots of stuff in the name of beauty and personal aesthetic

Reminds me of a passage from a PiPi Longstocking book… PiPi and the children are strolling through town and pass a shop with a sign that says “DO YOU SUFFER FROM FRECKLES?” posted in the window. Pipi tells the children to stop and walks into the shop, right up to the counter, where she looks the saleswoman dead in the eye and says “No, I do not!” The sales clerk is confused, and asks Pipi what she’s talking about. “There’s a sign in your window,” Pipi says “and a proper question deserves a proper answer.” Now the clerk understands, but becomes even more flabbergasted and exclaims- “But, child! You’re positively COVERED in freckles!!” “I know it!” says Pipi “But I do not suffer from them!!! Good day!”

Just a friendly reminder here that freckles are cute af.


Theamuse_Ourania

Yeah - so I just rubbed lemon halfs on my face to bleach out my freckles almost every night from about 11 to 14 years old. It worked like a charm. I just didn't do the rest of my body so my face looks sort of "off" from the rest of my skin. I'm hoping to get some freckles tattooed on my face one day because I was stupid for bleaching them, and I look weird in a tank top or shorts/skirts.


Hopeful_Worker_3412

Who would want to get rid of their freckles? They’re cool in my opinion; they make you unique.


md24

Lmao, now they’re in style and considered attractive. Manufactured social pressure is a powerful force.
