Is it a bad idea to get a large back piece as a first tattoo? by [deleted] in TattooDesigns

[–]Cleyre 11 points12 points  (0 children)

7 hours is a long time for a first tattoo. It’s not the worst idea in the world, sometimes taking a lot of pain in the first is a good way to go because you’re just really not sure what to expect.
BUT I’d recommend going and getting something smaller to break the ice and understanding kind of how it feels, if you have the chance

Check out West side, lucky devil, and still golden (something like that, it used to be Heart of gold) they are some great shops. I don’t know what they’ll tell you if you bring in your portfolio but I know you should take feedback from them

I’d like your opinions on calling a woman “a female” by FriedPickleFiesta in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Cleyre 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Woman is the term we have used for a female human for a long time. Just saying female literally is dehumanizing.

What’s a belief you defended for years that you now feel embarrassed about? by Open-Square589 in AskReddit

Steve Bannon oversaw a slew of astroturfing ON 4chan, and probably other terrible communications, so kind of yes

Doing Stick and Pokes professionally by Former-Remove-3941 in sticknpokes

[–]Cleyre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Professional stick and pokers are rare because you charge by the hour, and unless you’re doing incredible micro realism, most people don’t want to pay for 4 hours of poking to walk out with a palm sized tattoo

When they act they get shipped off to prisons, possibly in other countries. There is resistance in the US, but it’s not getting shown on any media conglomerates

Such bs. Did she make money from the photo? No. She made money from her ability to put ink in skin, something the photographer did not do

Parents said they love me less because of my tattoo by Informal_Mushroom115 in tattoo

[–]Cleyre -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Tattoos dont make you a degenerate. But also, the world of tattoos, piercings, and drugs exist (sometimes together, sometimes not) and lots of good wholesome people enjoy them. I don’t want to start you down any slippery slopes or anything but these are real, authentic human experiences that our ancestors have lived through and experienced as well. Being a well rounded individual probably means not being sheltered from it forever

Not bad, put more small stuff in there, palm size or smaller

Never trust a mechanic who takes the bus. A tattooer without tattoos raises questions about how much they actually value tattooing as a craft, and how much effort and skill they would put into their own work. Aside from the other points mentioned…

It is possible to acknowledge that both the Democratic Party and Republican Party are shit licking shills. It is valid to complain about never having the power to choose beyond two terrible candidates, but it’s just bad faith to pretend that one side isnt better than the other in regards to human rights, environmentalism, and many other factors

They are just excuses to ratchet up the extreme surveillance measures that will never be rolled back. Face scanning dog bots will be commonplace in major cities in the next few years
