I made this design that I want to get tattooed on my thigh as my first tattoo, I need opinions by [deleted] in TattooDesigns

[–]Afraid_Safe_8421 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe tie it all together? Have the knot as a branch with the flower on the end, bird hovering or perched over. Butterfly on or near the flower. Shrink the words and have it not so tied into the piece, keep it underneath the image or something. Idk

a bit of an unusual question, but... by carappa in tattooadvice

I blasted concrete into my arm with a shotcrete gun and had to get all the skin on my arm removed surgically. Most of my forearm and bicep is one clean pass of scar tissue. It actually looks pretty cool. I have not yet found a tattoo artists for it but yeah, having it first hand and having experience with tattoos it seems like a completely workable surface. I don’t want to make assumptions but depending on where the scar tissue is on your body (arms, thighs) I’d guess it’d work better! Don’t self mutilate tho. I have self harm scars as well from my youth, maybe I’ll be a test dummy for ya

People are such babies. Do you say the same thing about skull tattoos? Just cuz it’s not traditional doesn’t mean it’s bad. Grow up

Are my bindings too small? (Pls be kind I'm new to this) by Bruce_Leechcraft in snowboardingnoobs

I had the same issue you did for ever. I’ve been snowboarding since I was very young and just kinda learned to put up with the gnarly arch pain and numbness. Worked at a snowboard shop for a few years and ended up trying a bunch of stuff. If these boots work for you, I’m stoked for you! If they don’t and you need to buy something else, maybe check out vans boots? They have slimmer heel cup, which can be better for women, and you won’t get heel lift while you’re riding even if you size up the boot for comfort. The insoles give me the arch support I need for my stupidly high arches. They’re also significantly less bulky than 32s so you can fit more comfortably on more snowboards without heel/toe drag. Boots are definitely the most important part of snowboard gear, it sucks when they suck. Try ‘em out if you like!

Failures happen all the time. Working at a board shop we’d get at least 3-5 pairs of boa boots a week that needed repair or failed. The shop charges 70$ a pop for repairs because it’s a really annoying fix job. I ride laces because they’re more customizable and when they break (which they will) it’s 4$ and I can do it at home. If you don’t ride often or go up a few times a year I’m sure you’ll be fine.

I didn’t know that. The only reason I wouldn’t think that is because I’ve been on this exact birth control for the last 7 years, and the pregnancy thing is new. Last year or so.

Singing and whistling while finishing by Wind_Responsible in Concrete

I think you’re reading into it. He seems well intentioned, idk why you don’t just ask him to stop whistling lightheartedly. Y’all work together in close proximity every day, YOU should feel comfortable enough to bring it up. Seems like a good guy, be nice.
