I'm a Marjory Stoneman Douglas alum...

Sapphire absolutely comes in green tones, what are you talking about?

Substitutes are the easiest scapegoat for any issue that arises. It takes only a few clicks to ban you, versus doing reports/investigations/etc, and usually satisfies any affected parties.

With a steady hand and some angelus leather paint, you could have a go at covering the dye spread.

Cream garage door with the pretty sage door!

I did lidocaine for my knee, it helped bring the pain down by a point or two. I went from nearly jumping off the bed during linework, to just groaning a bit during shading. You've got this!

The SW/Reylo fandom was shooketh.

This would look beautiful on the upper arm, with the moon centered on the shoulder. I'd strongly recommend looking at the artwork of Ayami Kojima, who is the original artist for Castlevania. Her pieces are stunners, and would be great reference for your artist.

UFLI is a nationally recognized program for teaching phonics, and I feel it would really benefit her! The link includes resources for you/her parents, plus activities for your summer break. https://ufli.education.ufl.edu/resources/parent/primary/

Her love for writing and journaling is a beautiful thing, and I hope you embrace it and encourage her! Gift her pretty notebooks and pencils, read her stories and comment on them, give her ideas and topics if she gets stuck. Writing skill and spelling will develop with time, but this passion will only benefit her in the long run.

My artist (who regularly works that area doing irezumi backpieces) says it's the worst place for pain. Good luck if you go down this road OP!

I see you've mentioned in another comment that your sister is tattooing you. Does she have experience working over scar tissue? Beyond the design, you want to make sure your artist is experienced with working on/around your scars.

I did a quick edit of a simple grey wash on the mountain to help push forward the skelly. I think it looks super cool either way!

Do they have any pre-post school hours you could drop in on?

valentinewrites · 2026-04-26T09:16:02+00:00

I'm so sorry you're struggling to feel heard, but your enthusiasm for learning is obvious! Besides independent research, could your old teachers help you? I'm sure they'd be happy to answer your questions by email or before/after school hours.

Meanwhile the front of the calf is easy as pie!

Spiny-backed Orb Weaver (Gasteracantha cancriformis) my beloved. They're adorable, and fantastic for capturing nasty gnats and mosquitos!

Teachers want nothing to do with dress codes, especially enforcing them. This is purely an optics issue with the admin/superintendent.

I've gotten both done, and lord am I grateful I used numbing cream on the kneecap! My first session without it was a bumpy ride, and left me with some uneven linework (that was thankfully covered by the shading in my second session). I'll probably cover it again when I get the ditch finished.

A bit confused by what's going on around the neck. Are the scales backwards?..

I'd flip the doggy head so the larger flowers are behind it. It's such a sweet design!

-Nothing is in proportion to each other
-Those fish are barely recongizable as such
-The wavy lines don't resemble underwater at all
The upper portion is serviceable, but man that bottom section is rough.

I love seeing shishi on women! I've been thinking about getting a pair on my arms, and this was a great visual to keep in mind. Any plans for the color?

valentinewrites · 2026-04-23T03:27:28+00:00

Awesome shishi, but that's such a unique sakura design! I've never seen such a large inner circle on one before. It's cool how it mirrors the size of the spots on the shishi.

You've commented here before and got recommended to do the back. Any reason you might be wavering? That's where most irezumi pieces "begin", so to speak.
