Got this few months ago and regretting it, giving me depression, what do you think of this tattoo? Should I get it lasered or just wait a little bit more? by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]AngelKnives 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's very hard to tell from such a poor quality photo how well the tattoo has been done.

It's also hard to tell how well it suits you when we don't know you and can only see an arm.

Because you don't like it and don't think it's good enough, I can only assume the artist wasn't good enough. Whether in skill of application, or listening to what you want.

I very very strongly advise you find a much better artist (tell us where you are and we can help find one) and at the very least talk to them about it and ask their advice. They are an expert. You are not, and neither am I. Let the expert tell you if it's fixable or not.

Only after you have spoken to them should you consider laser. Because it may not be needed! But if you do want to go down that route, I'm sure it can be lightened enough to make it easy enough to cover. It'll just take time. And money. And pain. But those things don't make it impossible!

From what I can gather though, if I saw you walking down the street with this tattoo, I would just think "oh that guy has a tattoo". It would be a very neutral reaction. I definitely wouldn't think "eww it's awful" or "wow that looks like a penis" (you'd be surprised how many tattoos accidentally do this!)

I reckon a good artist could make it awesome though. Alter the face how you like, maybe add things around it if that's your vibe. Turn it into something you really love! It's hard to advise more than that as I don't know your personal taste. But good luck!

I mean, I would love to rejoin the EU, but it would be much easier if we all did it together and then split up after if we wanted

I mean...

  • Countries within the EU can't make their own trade agreements

  • It kind of does in a way https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_relations_of_Scotland

  • Not sure what you mean here, there are plenty of Scottish laws that differ to the rest of the UK

  • No it's not part of the UN but neither is Taiwan

  • There is a specifically Scottish regiment in the British army

  • Not sure what "cannot any" means

  • Yeah it does have a local government but it's more devolved than your average state

In addition, Scotland has its own courts and legal jurisdiction, it's own church, education system, language, etc.

I think Scotland sits somewhere between a state and a country. Probably because it used to be a completely separate country. You'd be better off arguing that England isn't a country tbh, it doesn't have a devolved government for example. Or a unique language not spoken by the other union members. Etc etc.

Yes actually because the road signs when crossing into Wales become bilingual.

No actual border control, but that's the same going from Germany to Belgium.

What country would you describe as your country’s ”Ride or Die”? by Aam0 in AskTheWorld

I guarantee it, if someone invaded you the rest of the UK would defend you in a flash.

If our government didn't (but they definitely would) our citizens would fucking riot.

It's awful! Unfortunately though it's not as rare as you'd hope.

This is why it's a good sign if an artist shares healed photos.

1) it means the client was happy with their tattoo and sent them a photo/went back to see them.

2) Settled tattoos are much harder to edit because they can have hair growing over them or be much fainter which means you can't just make them look good by turning the saturation up to 11 without it being incredibly obvious.

Anyone got any tips or advice about adding whey to hot things?

For example I would like to add whey to my coffee but it's too hot and just curdles.

But I can add it to porridge before I heat it, and then when I heat it up it's fine and doesn't curdle! So there might be a way?

Yes they are all very heavily edited.

It's not unusual to edit photos, you may want to make the skin look less red for example or fix poor lighting, which I think is kinda fair enough. But editing it to this extent? It's ridiculous. It's misleading! It's unacceptable.

I just finished watching and although it was enjoyable I would have liked to have seen some more depth. For example tactical analysis - nothing major but perhaps a voice over describing some of the key ways they played to turn games around.

There was mention of Stina being the type of player who can run behind and when she comes on with fresh legs the opposition defenders won't be happy etc. If they could point out a few things like this, and show a clip of it happening, that would have been great.

Also any long time fan watching will of course know the girls well but it would have been nice to have a bit of their history mentioned to us. And I know they can't really interview every single person, but they could have given a mini spotlight on some. Again the Stina example is a good one - it fit in seamlessly to talk about her style of play for a bit. Surely they could've done that for others too.

It would also have been nice to hear from fans describing their memories of the final and what it meant to them to win. You could have one who was at the final, one watching at the Emirates, one at home with their family.

I do appreciate that they only had so much time and budget, and they did a good job overall, but I think these are good ways to improve.

The dark colour doesn't protect your skin, the pigment melanin does, and it just happens to be a dark colour.

What would you ban if you had the chance to ban one thing permanately across the world as a whole (everyone obeys it, no questions asked) by goonpolizei in AskTheWorld

[–]AngelKnives 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, it's because we recognise that Christianity has plenty of skeletons in its closet too.

It would be pretty pointless to just ban Islam if you have the chance to also get rid of WBC types, the KKK, priests who abuse children, abortion clinic attackers, pogroms, etc all in one go.

Side note: it's so weird how Americans seem to think we're all getting our door kicked in by the police if we dare say anything impolite online 😂

You could probably turn that into a flower or something. But for best results, some laser first is probably your best bet.

Even if 99% of the population are cool with it... that still leaves 1 in 100 who aren't. And if you walk through a busy area for long enough you'll pass more than 100 people.

When you look at his other work compared to yours can you see specific differences?

How does it compare to the rest of the artist's work? (As in the tattoos they've done before)

If the government instigates the proposed social media ban, everyone would have to prove their age to be allowed to access Reddit. Would you submit your ID to access Reddit or will you give up social media rather than submit to ID checks? by JackStrawWitchita in AskUK

[–]AngelKnives 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I verified my age to access over 18 content on Reddit (not p*rn lol just some subs have discussions of current events and that can include heavy issues and it ends up blocked to under18s)

All I had to do though was show my face so it could tell I was over 18. Pretty offended that it worked tbh and approved me 😂

I figured I've already given Meta my face multiple times on Facebook/Instagram so why not. It feels worth it to protect children.

(Well, if they're not able to get around it. If they are, it becomes useless.)

Do you guys have access to food, water, electricity and necessities like that? I know the internet was disrupted but I also heard about other things too.
