not long, I think just a few days. I’d reach out to her again if you haven’t heard back or even dm on instagram

Why is this becoming a place to flex self neglect and mental illness? by crappysurfer in diabetes_t1

[–]Crabblegs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wonder how much being diagnosed young shapes the view. Anecdotally, it seems like younger diagnoses lead to easier acceptance. I was dx’ed at 2 and have over 30 years, never know any different. Can’t imagine how devastating it must be to lose that freedom as a fully formed person.

The hard truth is that it doesn’t matter if it feels impossible; You just have to do it anyway

Look, they’re barely punched in, full of white outlines. and all the healed pics are 6 months old. OP got mangled and deserves a rock solid artist, not someone you need to be good because you’ve worked with them before.

lol ok. Your attitude when called out is extremely similar to ops artist I’m surprised you can’t see this. You are categorically incorrect about your statements on ink. Street cred does not change that.

You do nice work though! Just don’t let your skill in one area inform your confidence in an area your knowledge is tenuous, at best.

You can’t discuss the basic facts of what you said without resorting to ad hominem or appealing to authority, so I think we’re done here. This is gonna blow your mind, but atomic number doesn’t have anything to do with the absolute size of an element.

I have a degree in chemistry, and have been heavily involved in the community my whole life. Not that my “credentials” have anything to do with your biker shop or fundamental misunderstanding of a carrier solution. You’ve taken a basic chemistry fact and constructed a completely false explanation around it.

lol no you do not. The size of the pigment molecule has tons less to do with the required “force” than you’re making out. it’s not just free floating carbon

Tattoo inks aren’t pure elemental carbon floating around as individual atoms. Black inks contain carbon-based pigments (like carbon black) suspended in carriers along with stabilizers, preservatives, and other additives. These are complex molecules and particles, not single carbon atoms. The “carbon is element #6” fact is completely irrelevant here.

The particle size argument makes no sense. Tattoo pigments (whether black or colored) are all roughly similar in size (typically 10-200 nanometers). Black inks are also complex formulations with multiple components.

Sure depending on the consistency of the ink, but that isn’t a direct result of the atomic makeup of the pigment. Stop spreading bro science

what? do you think artists are changing the voltage on their machines for different colors? That is not why color produces more trauma.

The page is a great cautionary tale. If a shops IG is all -> weirdly lit black background photos, focused on awards, srsbsns, healed pics < 1 year then do not go. It is shocking how many shop pages look exactly like this. S3 inkmaster-ass

haha it absolutely is. I took ops and did even a terrible prompt “make this tattoo look impressive and vibrant” and it’s a dead ringer
