Tumblr does not allow users to block others from viewing or following their primary blog, as all primary blogs are publicly accessible. However, you can choose to "ignore" someone, which means that they can't message you, and you won't be able to see each other's posts in your feed. For more privacy, consider creating a secondary blog that is password protected.

- Only users who have your password can see your personal profile.
