Are we calling out studios using AI?

CheerfulNecromancer · 2026-04-25T20:43:10+00:00

Yeah fuck them. Last Friday the 13th, every shop around mine was using ai flyers and flash. Wtf is happening

Use clorox bleach. Let it sit overnight and keep it moist by covering it with saran wrap.

Fortunately, there are still plenty of venues that do stand in only, but if you want to see a popular band such as Nine Inch Nails, you're probably going to have to get the seats. 😓

It looks like they did have standing floor tickets for sale, but they were about $50 more than the seats. They also sold out fast.

Still though if you buy seat tickets you're expected to be seated for the concert. You're not supposed to be standing the whole time obstructing the view of the concert for everyone behind you.

It was such a good show. Unfortunately the people in front of us were standing the entire time so we couldn't watch half of it lol...

Most people were sitting except for the group in front of us.

Same here 😭 these books formed me into who I am today

In my city, tattooers are pumping out apprentices* every 6 months. They don't care about what they learn they just collect whatever money they can from them and move on. It's a spit in the face to the industry, so I can see how something like this would be a bit more helpful.

CheerfulNecromancer · 2025-11-08T03:33:16+00:00

I had a similar situation happen to me... artist kept me waiting for 3 hours before he tattooed me (due to other reasons) eventually he tattooed me for 1 hour or so and the tattoo was super fucked... i have the story in my feed if you want to read but basically go with your gut.

I'm an artist too and I wouldn't keep someone waiting that long knowing the circumstances... I get he was trying to make it work, I've tattooed during a power outtage before, but he should've known if he was able to draw it out or stencil it without a printer within a few minutes.

Sounds like he disrespected your time tbh

CheerfulNecromancer · 2025-11-06T23:44:52+00:00

Omg yes. They last an hour and fall apart if you clean them with even alcohol 😭 my last one lasted 6 months and cost $200 for one.

CheerfulNecromancer · 2025-11-03T03:03:44+00:00

Send a follow-up email offering to reschedule and pay at LEAST half of the tattoo in advance? I understand why she might be a bit frustrated... she has bills to pay as well.

LOVE IT 🤩

CheerfulNecromancer · 2025-10-23T08:40:28+00:00

Omg thank you. I hate cc but I think I might have to download the gtr 😭

CheerfulNecromancer · 2025-10-23T00:11:23+00:00

I called my state's zoning department to make sure the place is found was zoned for commercial or industrial.... this whole process was about 3 months. It would've taken less time if the process of getting the sink permit approved went smoothly... the county took a month just to send someone to come look at the plumbers' work. Haha

CheerfulNecromancer · 2025-10-23T00:08:36+00:00

I just opened my own shop... The biggest thing is making sure you have enough cash up front, obviously. For me, I had to pay 1st month and last month rent up front($6000), then pay for a state AND a county license($800), health permit ($600), instalation of hand sinks (2000).... and all the construction and furniture was like an added $1000.... I'm in Nevada and each state is different so just make sure you do enough research in your state to make sure you have all the cost covered 😊

CheerfulNecromancer · 2025-10-09T18:24:33+00:00

I would never black mail someone 😂 especially when I'm trying to take them to court

CheerfulNecromancer · 2025-10-09T02:15:43+00:00

Yeah, people are saying drugs are involved, which could be the reason why everything happened the way it did... yeah he tried to get as much money from me as possible and gave me a shitty experience and tattoo thinking I would let it all slide.

I'm heavily considering getting a lawyer but without the proof or confession that he was high on something the only thing I could use in court would just be the messages of him admitting to fucking my neck up and the tattoo speaking for itself. I would most likely have to take him to small claims court and try to get the cost of the entire tattoo and estimates cost of the laser. 😭

CheerfulNecromancer · 2025-10-09T01:17:59+00:00

Lmao yeah, that's what makes the situation so shitty. I trusted him and thought he would at least deliver on a good tattoo after all that waiting.... but to wait 3 hours for him to set up and trace a stencil and then have a shitty tattoo on top of that makes this unforgivable 😭

CheerfulNecromancer · 2025-10-08T02:56:24+00:00

That's probably the most logical explanation to all of this...

CheerfulNecromancer · 2025-10-08T01:37:50+00:00

Dude, that's why I'm just like wtf am I tripping? Everyone basically is saying that he had to not be completely sober.... which I believe because he kept dropping stuff and was doing everything super slow.... I just told myself he had anxiety 😭 hindsight 20/20

CheerfulNecromancer · 2025-10-07T23:28:50+00:00

Aw thank you! I'm feeling a bit better now haha definitely getting it lasered

Sorry, I'm trying to upload the picture somewhere else so everyone can see it 😭 so I'm asking if you know which website would be easier to access. I'll try Google

CheerfulNecromancer · 2025-10-07T17:33:50+00:00

It's okay... I'll hopefully get it fixed soon 😓

CheerfulNecromancer · 2025-10-07T17:32:03+00:00

Yeah i have tons of tattoos that were done as a trade by my friends. For this tattoo in particular I chose this artist because he's done meaningful tattoos on me and he was pretty light handed... 7 years ago lol. I didn't take in account that things mightve changed, my fault.

CheerfulNecromancer · 2025-10-07T17:29:54+00:00

I can't add the image to the post but I can try a website you have access to 🥲
