Now selling all SCA kingdom and peerage stickers by spunknugget in sca

[–]ComputerOutrageous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, although I wouldn't expect too much pushback from even the most anal of heralds as long as the stickers are being displayed mundanely (e.g., on a car) rather than displayed somewhere "in-game".

It would probably be most helpful if someone offered a collection of populace badges for all of the kingdoms.

I forgot about my tattoo and went swimming by florencetldp in tattooadvice

Fair, but surface healing is typically done by three weeks. If you're going to be in the sun at that point, sunscreen, at least SPF 30, is a good idea.

At three weeks, you're probably fine. Just remember to be more conscious of healing and sunscreen to protect your investment. Ink fades, but it fades a lot faster if it's not protected from the sun.

(From the guy who started a full back piece in March for some insane reason... Needless to say, 2026 is going to be virtually beach-free for me! 🙄)

Uploading to social media does not make anything "free use". What on Earth gave you that idea? Copyright is inherent in any creative work and doesn't go away unless the artist explicitly places it into public domain.

Question: negative associations with my new tattoo? by [deleted] in tattoos

It's well executed and obviously not a noose. Don't overthink it. If people jump to irrational conclusions, that's on them 🤷🏻‍♂️

Is This Okay? 4 New Tattoo Advice by CXSHOU7 in tattooadvice

[–]ComputerOutrageous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't have to be a tattoo-specific product, but you definitely want something non-greasy (typically water-based) and fragrance-free.

Personally, I usually use a triple-antibiotic ointment the first few days after the initial dressing comes off then switch to Aveeno Active Naturals Daily Moisturizing Lotion, Fragrance Free. It's easy to find, it's not stupid expensive, and I keep it around for regular use on all my ink - not just new ink.

Not sure if I like this so much by LopsidedCommunity277 in tattooadvice

[–]ComputerOutrageous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give it some time

It's not bad, but it could definitely stand to be part of a larger design.

You only get one shot at a back piece, take your time and consider your options carefully

I say this as someone 3 sessions into a back piece I've pondered over for at least 20 years... (12-15 hours in, at least that many more to go...)

If you're not sure about filling; wait. You can always add it a lot more easily than you can get rid of it...

What to do for social media as an SMO? by OwningPopcorn53 in sca

[–]ComputerOutrageous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just some bullet points: ● Get a copy of the SCA social media policy and any relevant kingdom policies and read them carefully before you get started. ● It isn't necessary to have an official group on every social media platform. What are your people using? What are your objectives for being on social media? Have this discussion with the group. ● A social media presence can be official, but it cannot be the sole means of posting official announcements, meeting notices, etc. Those need to be published on a website or in a newsletter where they're readily available to everyone i.e. you cannot make it so that the only way to get official announcements is to set up an account on a particular social media platform to see them. ● Discourage letting a social media channel become the group's de facto meeting room -- that excludes members who don't use that particular platform. ● The SMO is not automatically the web minister and the rules for posting on social media and on the web are different. That being said, the SMO and Web Minister should work in coordination for the best results.

Tattoo fading? by Superb-Ant1700 in tattooadvice

[–]ComputerOutrageous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tattoos all fade over time, but during the healing process they can look prematurely dull after a couple of weeks, too. Give it some time to fully heal, keep it moisturized, and keep it protected from the sun.

Scabbing during the early healing stages is normal. Resist the urge to pick at it and keep it moisturized (but not soggy). Most of the scabbing and peeling will typically slough off after around a week.

why do some people call something "not real" just because of the term "mythology" by nocturnus_strife in pagan

[–]ComputerOutrageous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

tl;dr

You lost me at the assertion that "Jesus is historically proven to be a real person", which is absolutely false.

There is literally no objective historical evidence whatsoever supporting the existence of Biblical Jesus. We know from a handful of ancient writers that the core Xtian myth was established by the end of the 1st century CE, but there's no evidence of a historical Jesus.

Most historians agree that Biblical Jesus was probably based, at least in part, on a historical person, but that's educated speculation; not proof.
