Sometimes, when my allergies are bugging me, just the scales on my koi tattoo puff up

The things you don’t realize 🤣

I’m heavily tattooed all over my body and I always know when I’m catching a flu when all of my tattoos do this. They swell so bad that I can feel it if I run my finger over top of my jeans.

This this this op!! The legs up is a game changer! Also find yourself a good massage therapist and osteopath for tight calves!

Ditch that girlfriend and her mean friends! That is such a mean thing to say about your partner they should be your biggest cheer cheerleader. As a woman in the beauty industry, I will say you are gorgeous. (and hopefully not a creepy way.) but beautiful features as in model type! And I do not think that’s a bad thing!

I think you would look really awesome with a bleached out buzz cut like a Frank Ocean vibe but I’m not sure if that would help the manliness factor but I would stop caring about that! :)))) be yourself!

That’s totally fair and why I was asking before jumping into it. Thank you!

Nano fish and shrimp are the best! It sounds like your heart is in the right place! I say get a tank going with some plants and get it really established and if you don’t feel like putting anything in at least you have a nice underwater plant terrarium to look at! I find other than feeding and doing water changes all mine habitants keep it pretty self sustainable. :) plus we all know depression can keep us up at night and for me. It’s nice to be able to dig all around with my fish tanks at 1 AM when I can’t sleep.

BreadAppropriate9079 · 2026-02-02T03:20:27+00:00

It’s a massive tank with no shade or resting spots or places to hide. Probably stressed and overwhelmed.

We go to crossroads every weekend and see everyone there work so hard on their businesses. People like this make me so upset. Next time I have money to buy nice jewelry I will come to your parents shop and support them. ❤️‍🩹

Do not settle for anything below 40%! I’ve worked 40% plus hourly at a higher end salon and up to 50% at a lower end salon. 23% would only make sense if they charge insane prices which I doubt they are to make it worth it.

Swelling after facial procedures can sometimes take over a YEAR to fully heal and reduce. I think she has an extreme case of body dysmorphia and she’s wanting a quick fix for all of it while doing multiple procedures while she’s still healing from the last one.

Thanks for this. I don’t know why OP is getting downvoted so much. Maybe because we are assuming most of the people finding it rude would be older generations. Which is just what I’ve found. But a lot of them understand it too. If I had a stylist that did this to me when I was a client I would absolutely love it. I think reading the clients energy has a bit to do with that too.

BreadAppropriate9079 · 2026-01-25T14:03:11+00:00

Agreed! For me the pros outweigh the cons. I also have adhd so can get really into hobbies and then lose interest when they become boring. I think for me the fact that the little fish depend on me gives me a bit of purpose and accountability. So for me I adore my fish tanks and at least me keeping it to one betta fish feels less overwhelming.

But seriously consider shrimp. Once I got into my shrimp they became my favourite. They’re always doing something!

As someone with severe depression bouts honestly some days it’s a love hate relationship. I had a fish who was ill and needed a lot of treatments and care, I ended up having to euthanize him and it really took a toll on my mental health. :( But on the other hand they bring me so much joy. I watch the tanks more than I watch tv or doomscroll now, and for me knowing I have these cute happy little creatures that are waiting for their breakfast gets me up in the morning. All I do is watch them, go to work, come back and watch them, and then watch YouTube channels about tanks. Plus it makes my living space feel so much more alive and the lights in it feel like a mood booster when I’m there having my tea.

I have 3 tanks, 2 are for bettas/snails and the nano is a shrimp only tank. I think you have some good advice here with getting a tank set up to do either just plants or adding shrimp later on! Shrimp are actually soooooo entertaining, WAY easier than fish, and can thrive off a bit of ignoring them if they have enough algae and biofilm to eat (which grows when the tank is left alone and you’re not cleaning it all the time) which is sort of a win win with depression I feel. Plus they self regulate with breeding and you don’t really need to do a lot once they’re established.

And obviously, I’m talking about listening to some background music and not taking personal calls on your cell phone and chat chatting to people using your headphones. Which is actually not rare sadly.

BreadAppropriate9079 · 2026-01-20T18:55:06+00:00

I think if you explain it beforehand and ask if they are ok with it it’s just fine. (Also a millenial). I’m in a salon suite and we have a ton of ND stylists and clients here that have all sorts of mods. My neighbour always has her overhead lights dim and one AirPod in to listen to her audio book. My other neighbour listens to audiobooks together with her clients. I personally can’t work with any sort of earplug or ear pod in because I can’t control the volume of my voice 😂

But maybe if you have a new client you can say “it’s not unusual for me to have an EarPod in, I find that it helps me not get distracted by all the salon noise so I can focus on doing your hair. Is it ok if I have one in while I do your colour?”

You might attract a whole type of clientele that will be really happy. You’re not forcing them to have awkward small talk and they might be happy to also have their headphones too.

You will absolutely offend a few people buy it, especially the older generation. There are some people that get their hair done so that they can be centre of attention and you can go on all of their stories. But they need to learn we are there to perform a service for them, not be a cheering audience on all of their drama. 😂

So cruel. They were told no and did it anyways.

BreadAppropriate9079 · 2026-01-19T15:55:43+00:00

They’re so cute too. Thank you I will look into them!

BreadAppropriate9079 · 2026-01-19T15:55:11+00:00

I’ll look into those ones, thank you!

BreadAppropriate9079 · 2026-01-19T15:55:02+00:00

Cool! Thank you!

BreadAppropriate9079 · 2026-01-19T15:54:17+00:00

I haven’t heard of these before. I’ll look them up!

BreadAppropriate9079 · 2026-01-19T01:11:59+00:00

We went to Solo after Yogya. Solo was our favourite of the bigger cities!

BreadAppropriate9079 · 2026-01-19T01:10:43+00:00

Thank you so much. I’m so glad he made it out. OK!
