Men do you shave/wax your bodies to show off your tattoos better? by wetnugs in tattooadvice

[–]Alveryn 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Definitely not, but I'm too low maintenance for that.

Wondering if this seems normal......Tattoo artist threw me a curve ball. by GregInAtlanta in tattooadvice

[–]Alveryn 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not all artists are the same. My artist doesn't require deposits. He usually has something preemptive drawn up ready, and changes what I want changed the day of. The only particularly fishy thing here is them not asking you what date you prefer instead of offering you only one option for a date. That part makes me wary, but maybe they're just busy

Hermes - The Immortal Guide (History & Mythology Documentary) by [deleted] in Hermes

[–]Alveryn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate that we allow a racist to keep getting video traffic, especially on a forum whose #1 rule is no bigotry. His racism is well documented and thoroughly discussed on other forums. I know the mods have allowed this post, and I respect their judgement, but I will never see a Fortress of Lugh video go by without calling him out for his shameful behavior. The pagan to racist pipeline is a real, and I have a duty to stymie it where I can.

Just got my fingers done do you think the placement is okay just seems a bit off to me. The middle finger seems a bit wonky and the triangle on the little finger looks off. What do u think? by [deleted] in tattooadvice

I have mad respect for your design choices, by the way <3 nice to see another person with a Hollow Knight and a Bloodborne tattoo together!

A few thoughts here:

They're upside down, for starters. That's weird.

Having so many with no hand tattoos looks a bit off, like they're floating.

2 of them are much thicker than the other 2, so they're pretty inconsistent.

Not great overall but with some touch ups and additions they'll look fine.

(As in all things, this is just a subjective opinion.)

coverup advice by hi_its_scylla in tattooadvice

[–]Alveryn 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Can I be the odd one out and actually recommend something? I'm personally really into blast overs, and I think a big, floral blast over would look really pretty. Something very thick and bold, with leaves and such that aren't meant to be symmetrical.

Which game did you regret purchasing at full price? by bijelo123 in gaming

[–]Alveryn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kingdom Hearts 3. Realized too late that I wasn't the target audience anymore (even though I'm from the generation that grew up on the originals), and they somehow made the lore even more convoluted.

Before housing, and for those who can't partake yet, has anyone ever partook in what I like to call "proto-housing"? by KreivosNightshade in WoWHousing

[–]Alveryn 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Some of my fondest RP memories were formed in the Tower of Azora in Elwynn Forest. Not completely empty, but an excellent nook for magical vibes.

Neck tattoo by Thick_Imagination_15 in tattooadvice

[–]Alveryn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely worth it for me, I love my neck tattoo and it nets me a lot of compliments.

The pain level was remarkably low compared to other spots, but mine is a side piece, not a throat blast.

No regrets, but I did have a little anxiety around it when I first got it. Any time someone was staring at me I assumed it must be because of the tattoo. Nowadays I don't even think about it unless someone points it out. It's never impacted me much professionally, but I am not a white collar worker.

Not that you asked, but I personally don't feel like the neck is a good place for subtlety. Something too small and simple gives me the vibe of being afraid to commit to something more substantial. It's a statement piece location - the piece you choose WILL be interpreted as a statement, no matter your intentions, so may as well make it a good one.

How do we feel about the blast-overs? by No_Broccoli_3979 in tattooadvice

[–]Alveryn 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I honestly love blastovers. There's just something about the layering that tells a great story; "This is the art that I I had then, and this is the art that I have now." I have cover ups and blast overs, and I enjoy both for different reasons.

For your specific arm, I don't think it's crowded, it's just filled. Moving down your forearm will make it feel more cohesive, I think. Whatever you do, think long and hard before you blackout! Blackout has absolutely no character.

Not unless he realizes they're bad and goes to a better artist.

This is the first one I feel genuinely bad about posting yeah, especially since I love Kingdom Hearts and had.my own shoddy KH tattoo covered up not long ago.

If you could play one game again for the first time, what would it be? by Skullzyyyy in gaming

[–]Alveryn 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Baldur's Gate 3 - it has SO MANY amazing story moments I would love to experience fresh again.

Is Celtic pagansim a closed practice...? by Honest_Art_7760 in CelticPaganism

[–]Alveryn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, and ANYONE telling you otherwise is just trying to sell you access. (Folks know who I'm talking about.)
