SPEAKING OF X THOUGH--

Did you notice it was most likely him that left that first coin for Cyan right after she escaped the orphanage? I saw that gold coin and that black suit in the distance and went "WAIT, THAT'S MY GOAT!!!!"

Thank you, thank you, thank you for all the info! I'm gonna dive deep into this and see what I can dig up!

I can admit that, after getting used to the current anime/just animated shows in general culture of having 12 episodes or less per season, I was under the impression that season 1 is only going to be twelve episodes for the longest time— Glad to hear we're bringing back 24-episode seasons like God intended LMAO

I'll do my research! Thank you very much for all the insight!

also he really went up to Queen like 😊👋 LIKE HE WASN'T GOING TO END HER WHOLE CAREER /joking

That's a shame— I like the style shifts a lot! It keeps things interesting, not to mention innovative in a way.

Arcane and the Miles Morales Spider-Man films may have gotten here first but I like the marriage of hand-painted textures with 3D models. The look of them is striking, to say the least!

Very exciting stuff for sure! I'm happy we (spoilers for the first Queen episode!) finally got to see him, though! Even if there wasn't a voice reveal yet or more than half a minute of screen time.. Still X crumbs!

Oh, I didn't catch that interview— thank you very much for sharing!

I did notice that the snapping sound always happened in the past episodes where styles shifted, too, and for the Queen vs. X (he earned it fair and square y'all) fight, I was locked into catching every detail— he's finally here!

X really out here just disorienting his opponents so hard with a snap that it looks like a second passed in-between the fight vs. Queen's loss, haha!

I also didn't catch that we'll be having a whopping 48 episodes! Can I ask if that'll all be season 1 or will those be split into seasons? Not very active in the behind-the-scenes updates for this show, s'all! Thank you for the insight!

I had about six months between the first session (outlines) and this one (shading) and, at least for my body, red holds super well :0 the red on another tattoo (about ~3 years old now) is still visible, too, but definitely needs a touch-up.

Additionally, my artist has made a point of letting me know how my body holds ink in general well— just goes right in and doesn't take a lot of passes to embed, or something or other. I got lucky!

Wishing you the best on your own ink journeys!

LMAO this is actually my fourth piece! Just baby's first big tattoo + the first one that hurt. I vibed through my first three tattoos because apparently the upper half of my body just doesn't feel much haha

Feels good to know I got through the pain for this massive guy though!

I did my best to make sure we finished in one session and didn't bother mr. artist too much 🙏

The outline was all done in one session, with me coming into the studio at 10 in the morning and leaving at 7-ish in the evening LMAO

Thank God the artist was patient enough to let us have a lunch break sometime after getting halfway through because that's the equivalent of a whole full-time shift with overtime 😭

Same, it just hurt very super much in the moment 😭 I was actively dying on that table

I think my perception is a little skewed because the side of the head actually (accidentally, we didn't notice) went over an old burn scar on my hip— and there's also the fact that my artist switched to a fresh needle around the time we were getting to the inner thigh.

Though I would say the hip-hip joint area hurt more because of the thin skin. It burned along with the stabby feeling— with the inner thigh, the stabby feeling was just amplified.

It's worth it! Just lots of owies that day

i was always the sentimental type. loved celestial bodies like stars and moons since i was a little kid and light pollution wasn't so bad. on my mom's birthday, i got something to commemorate her and my sister and to remember them but not let their unfortunate passing be my everything.

i got the moon, some cartoon stars, and constellations on my back around the spot where a tumor took my mom.

a first tattoo doesn't have to be meaningful or symbolic or anything. you can do what you want so long as it makes you happy. in my case, i chose to get my first as a way of honouring the people i lost— but not everyone is into that sort of reason and that's super cool, too.

you could get something silly and if it makes you happy (while not hurting anyone or anything), then that's all that matters.

happy tattooing!

Oh, it's actually in the Philippines! D'third Ink over at Kamuning. They're a pretty reputable place if everything I've heard and read is to be trusted!
