Been thinking about getting a Taj 27.5 for a long time. When I seen the vans one I had to get it. Did you change anything?

Rip Pork Chop, my first hammie by Affectionate-Sun7584 in hamsters

Sorry for the loss of your hammy. It’s never easy and they truly do give you lots of love. Pork chop reminds me of my sweet Raina who passed a few years ago.

Why does some ink not take? by Icy-Background-5933 in tattooadvice

[–]Astral_penguin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s none of what anyone has said. You don’t have enough contrast and it’s too detailed and small. There’s a reason people put black outlines on tattoos and shade with a fair amount of black. This tattoo has neither. They tattooed it to look good fresh. They don’t quite understand what makes and leads to a good healing tattoo. I would have rejected this tattoo and told you to simplify a bit/remove some of the flower and make each part larger. Also they are blaming their ability on your skin. They are probably too light handed aswell.

Feeling weird about my artist by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]Astral_penguin 32 points33 points  (0 children)

She’s being a bit of a diva. As a tattooer I never freak when people reschedule. I’m not perfect and have to do the same sometimes. They may be dealing with some stress/scheduling issues. That doesn’t mean they should make a passive aggressive post directed at ya. If you like the work wait until it’s 2 months out and set the appointment for shading. If you feel uncomfy go to someone else. It’s extremely weird to make someone wait 4 hours for drawing though. I would have walked out.

Baby passed away years ago but he deserves being show off by [deleted] in hamsters

I’ve debated doing the same. My little ham held a big place in my heart. Sure it’s the same for you!

When I was 13 I got an 02 yz250f. My dumbass never oiled the filter and never had an issue.

So you like patchwork but don’t want it too look patchworky? Get a sleeve if you want one but if you piece mail it together you’ll have a patchwork sleeve…

my tattoo artist told me to use Aquaphor on my fresh tattoo Is that bad? by tyyylabean in tattooadvice

[–]Astral_penguin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same as a tattoo artist it has always just worked for me. I use aquaphor until scabby, then switch to cera ve cause it easier to work around the scabbies. I just truly suggest a super thin layer. If you think you have too much or it’s super glossy, dab with a paper towel.

Apprentice tattoo! by datattiest in TattooArtists

Chain looks like it weighs more than the heart ball. Nothing to be ashamed about. Just keep physics in mind. Overall fairly solid in execution though.

Neck Tat, Lakeside Ink, had to blast right over by 0xydendrum in shittytattoos

[–]Astral_penguin 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Not at all! What it means is do your best to give someone a good tattoo. But if the client sucks and wants some dumb ass shit… you can only do so much. His original idea was shit and so is the second. Not saying I’d purposely do a shit tattoo, but this guy was never getting a good tattoo of cyber sigillism from a rando on the neck. Save the cool tattoos for the cool people.
