a trans taping tutorial i made for my friends but then they suggested i should post it so! here i go :-D you can view the instructions in the alt text too! feel free to distribute without credit #trans #pridemonth

HOW TO TAPE:

this piece of tape (marked with red) should be as long as the distance between the inner side of your breast (a couple centimeters off your sternum) and about where your armpit begins. this will depend on your chest size.

this piece of tape (marked with dark blue) should be as long as the distance between the underside of your breast and a couple of centimeters off your collarbone (i measure about 5-6cm)

1. cut up your pieces of tape. you probably won't get it immediately perfect the first time, so keep that in mind as you work through your roll. and don't lose your patience! this stuff is not easy. be nice to yourself.

2. round off the corners of the tape to prevent/decrease peeling. keep in mind that the effectiveness of the adhesive will be affected as soon as it touches your skin, that includes the finger you peel it with. some peeling is inevitable.

COVER 'EM UP!
Before you apply tape, make sure you cover your nipples. You don't need to buy nipple covers, bandaids or a piece of tissue* will suffice.

OPTIONAL
You can apply climbing chalk or calcium carbonate to dry out your skin before you apply your tape, but it might not make much of a difference.

*Tissue will dissolve in water, so this may cause an issue if you plan to take a shower or swim with these on.

3. bend over and let your breasts hang

4. begin peeling the tape, but do not peel all of it off in one go. you will need to create a handle you can hold onto as you apply your tape. you will also have two anchors on each end of the tape to avoid blistering. you will not stretch these anchors. you will only stretch the mid part between the two anchors.

this (marked in green) will be your first anchor. apply it unstretched.
the part of the tape that is still unpeeled will be your handle (marked in red).

5. apply your anchor, and pull your chest to the side by grabbing your handle. try to apply your tape as smooth as possible. smoothen out smaller wrinkles by rubbing them for a while, if necessary... but honestly, i wouldn't worry too much about it personally.

a) apply your anchor,

b) grab your handle,

c) pull and stretch your tape to the side, squishing your breast upward into your chest with it. make sure to leave a 2nd anchor.

finish by straightening up, keeping your breast in place with your other hand if necessary. place your anchor under your armpit. again. do NOT stretch the two anchors, otherwise you will get bruises and blisters.

TIP: if you're not looking to get your chest to look very realistic or want to save tape, you can stop here. with a smaller chest and in loose shirts, nobody will be able to see that you have tits.

...but, if you're looking for more realistic pecs... keep goin'!

6. lift your breast up and apply the first anchor of your second piece of tape, like you did before. pull up with the handle, secure in place with the second anchor. if you did it right, your chest should look pretty square right about now!

some notes:
you might not be able to get your hands on tape wide enough for singular stripes in each direction to be enough. depending on your chest size, you may be able to get away with using multiple stripes of 5cm wide kinesiology tape.

if you're prone to allergies, do an allergy test with your adhesive! cut out a small piece and place it on the underside of your arm. wait a couple hours before taking off and look out for any redness, itching, or irritation.

depending on how strong the adhesive is, you might need oil to take it off, even if its already been on you for a couple of days. coconut oil will do the job. soak the tape in it for a couple minutes and gently peel. if removal isn't easy or gentle, apply more oil or wait more.

you don't necessarily need TT, or TransTape. you can find pretty good substitues on amazon, though depending on your chest size, they may not be wide enough for you. regardless, keep looking! looking on amazon.de may be a lot cheaper than TT if you are an EU citizen. if you're very lucky, you will be able to find kinesiology tape or k-tape in your local drugstore.

you can apply more stripes diagonally from bottom to top if you aren't satisfied with the shape that two stripes give you, experiment! taping is a lot like sculpting and it is a lot about what you make out of it!

lastly: be kind to yourself and manage your expectations! taping is hard to get the hang of but not impossible. however, it also won't make you completely flat, it mostly just reshapes the tissue you've got.

If I wrote an article about how Johnny Cash seemed uncool I would just look at what I wrote and then walk into jail or the sun, maybe both.

a two-panel cartoon of Venom Snake and Quiet in The Phantom Pain. Quiet is wearing her usual bikini camo and Venom also is bare chested. In the first panel, Quiet walks up to Venom silently. In a smaller panel captioned LIVE MOTHERBASE REACTION, Revolver Ocelot, Kazuhira Miller and DD look on. In the second panel, Quiet honks Venom's pecs while imagining to press her face on them. Venom is blushing, but pleased. In the reaction panel, DD's ears perk up, Ocelot giggles in amusement, and Kaz is outraged

3-panel sequential bbkaz fanart

1. The inside of a tropical cabin; a mosquito lamp hanging outside gives the scene a red-blue neon glow. Kaz is framed with his back to the camera, partially blocking the view on Big Boss, who is standing opposite to him and looking at him while smoking a cigar

2. Close up on Kaz's neck. He is unzipping his shirt while Big Boss' s hand is pulling the yellow scarf off his neck. Kaz's gaze is obscured by the sunglasses and he is smiling slightly.

3. Big Boss is lying on his back, framed from the chest down. His shirt is open, showing the S-shaped scarf he has in Peace Walker. Kaz is kissing his abdomen and is beginning to pull down his pants.
