Yeah fair. Well, if the patch just keeps his mother, sister and aunt as they are now and forgoes the "they're his daughters" plot, then that's fine too. I'm not seriously invested in those storylines, I just found the concept amusing lol

Might not be the utmost authority, but Microsoft Copilot says about two full sleeves that "Very intensive clients sometimes finish in 6–8 days of back-to-back appointments, but this demands high pain tolerance and carries risk of 'tattoo flu'".
More importantly: if Skylar had access to a more advanced time machine, why did she not return just a day after leaving, so that she wouldn't get in trouble at her job and her mom wouldn't worry for longer?

I'd take any information given by an ai chatbot with a handful of salt with how often they're wrong because of "hallucinations". But even if Skylar could withstand getting her sleeves done in that timeframe, and the artist was willing to do that, it'd still take a long time for them to fully heal. And they show no sign of being very fresh when we see her. New tats are pretty obvious because of the inflammation, especially very large tats like those sleeves.

She's a skatergirl in training, she's used to pain. Also, I've know people who got sleeves in two weeks.

Yeah, but she wasn't gone 2 weeks. And there's still the healing time after to consider. No matter how high your pain tolerance, getting that much ink that quickly is going to take time to recover from. In game it doesn't give a specific timeframe that she's gone, it only says she's been gone "days" before she shows back up. But that doesn't sound like long, perhaps not even a full week.

Why didn't she return sooner then, just because it would have been harder to explain the tattoos? Her mom was really worried for a week, and she surely knew she'd get fired. Yeah, she did get her job back but she didn't know that would happen, and she was working so that her mom could get out of debt.

Who knows why she didn't just come back to the instant after she left. Perhaps to make it slightly less obvious something was really fucking weird with her instantly having full sleeves out of nowhere. But she couldn't stay missing too long, she probably didn't want to worry her mom and the MC too much. So staying missing for a realistic timeframe for those sleeves to make sense was sort of off the table. So maybe she just came back to a point where the sleeves were questionable but hoped nobody would think too hard on the situation, instead of it being completely obvious something was up.
It's also possible that it's a similar type of time travel to what the MC uses, but they've found a way to change the ratio of time passing. Say, instead of 1 to 1 like the MC, it could be 1 day missing for every 4 in the other time period. If so, she couldn't choose when exactly to come back to, same as the MC.

I don't think she went willingly if we go by the message she sent initially + we don't really know if she was sent there by the "good" guys or the other party going against us.

This is a good point I didn't even consider. And makes me think of the time Riley ambushed the principal spying on the MC for the bad guys in the bushes. She says something along the lines of "This is for what you did to that girl the other day!" before giving him another whack with the bat. She could have been referencing them kidnapping Skylar and doing something to her, similar to what they were doing with Darcis mom in '99.
The bad guys might have a slightly different form of time travel they use than the MC, and it could explain the differences.

Duh, the answer is simple. They had this technology in 1999:

She was gone the week because it took that long to keep working up enough saliva to cover both arms.

And, again, she also knows his real name. Only Jenny and Luna do. That's gonna make it conclusive to her, and explains her reaction to finding him dating Skylar.

Him dating Skylar plus what happened toward the end of the recent update, yep. Explains that look and her reaction to the MC in '19 pretty well.

The original rift worked like that yes (20 year difference completely synchronated), but remember the current one the MC and Darci used this last time (Beginning of Episode 7) was through that Time Agency type building where they could set the date they went back, remember?

Even if she still likes him, she knows that he's "trouble" and doesn't want Skylar involved (even if she's not his, and she isn't).

True, MC and Darci haven't come back to their own time since using that new equipment for the first time. So we don't really know yet if they'll come back and find the same amount of time passed that they were gone like before.
