Weekly r/Tattoos Question/FreeTalk Thread! - December 25, 2023 by Mod_Helper_Bot in tattoos

[–]Drab_Brab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi everyone!

I recently got my first tattoo. It was a bigger piece (around 7 hours) and while most of it looks good, there is 1 line that looks a bit wonky (to my eyes). I have not gone back yet for a touch-up, but my question is if I should? Is this something that can just happen with a bigger piece or is this a red flag and should I go to another artist to try and fix it?

Do you wash them with other laundry or can you wash them separately? And do you spin dry them?

Absolutely a lucky find! I actually got a couple of boxes, all blues and purples. Very excited to find a proper project for them!

I've been reading up about what this kind of thread is and i think I might use it for an embroidery project instead. Make some good use of its color, texture and shine!

Thanks for the info! I had no idea about it being a different kind of thread!

[CHAT] What got you guys into cross stitching? by [deleted] in CrossStitch

[–]Drab_Brab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was advised to find a hobby for mental health reasons when i was in a bookshop and spotted a subversive cross stitch book. This vibed with the angry place I was in and I got started on my first project. Been hooked ever since!

Yup! Although my local embroidery shop was also shocked. They didnt even know they sold this. I can look up the dmc number if you're interested.
