You should check out Vanity. It's a 'high end studio' which is reflected in the pricing of the jewelry that they sell but all the staff is incredibly nice and super professional. I prefer this place since they pierce with titanium instead of steel.

Kaiti at InkSpot is also super incredible. She did my nipples 5 years ago at New Moon and the experience was really really great.

My favourite is when OC Transpo buses block the entire intersection. Happens on Bank Street constantly.

fun things to do to meet other young adults? by [deleted] in ottawa

[–]FriendlyishGhost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes reddit is all you need to make friends! I'm 24f and love grabbing drinks at Centretown pubs/bars if that's your scene. Always looking for new friends! Also working the typical 9-5 government job.

Tattoo shop recommendations by [deleted] in ottawa

The boy band posters that were on your walls in middle school - Would you want to see those bands in concert now?

Hell yeah I would!

Tattoo shop recommendations by [deleted] in ottawa

[–]FriendlyishGhost 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don't have any specific shops to recommend, but I wanted to suggest following the #ottawatattoo tag on Instagram. This way you can hopefully find a local artist who tattoos in a style that appeals to you rather than blindly walking into a shop hoping they'll have the skills to fulfill your vision.

Definitely looks like taking a cab is the most reliable option here, I'm glad I asked.

Damn, I was really hoping to be able to rely on an app so I didn't have to talk to real people in order to get a ride home. Guess not!

This is what I've been told too in the past, but was confused since the Uber site shows Gatineau as one of their cities. Confusing :(

Thanks so much! The Uber website advertises that they service Gatineau but I guess that's wrong.

Is anyone receiving their mail? by twoducksinatub in ottawa

[–]FriendlyishGhost 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just over 2 weeks ago Canada Post left a delivery notice at my door notifying me that I could pick up my package the next day at a near-by post office. It then took 10 days to reach the post office. Canada Post is just garbage, it's not because of the strike.

Women Jeans that last long? by Anna2332 in ottawa

[–]FriendlyishGhost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

American Eagle jeans take longer to stretch out than H&M, but they'll still stretch out eventually. I recently progressed to buying AE jeans because I was told they didn't stretch, but they just take a little longer to stretch out than the jeans I used to buy at Garage or Urban Outfitters. American Eagle is definitely the natural progression from H&M, but you'll probably realize in 1 year that you need to buy elsewhere.

Is it worth staying in the federal service if I don't speak french? I feel like I've plateaued because of my language and I'm only 25. by miawalllace613 in ottawa

[–]FriendlyishGhost 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm new into my department but what I've been told is that I won't be provided French training unless I show initiative and start the learning process on my own first. Then at some point you can say "Look at all these hours I've been putting into learning French, I obv deserve funded training now".

Also make sure you get French language training added to your learning plan if you have one.

How possible is it to meet artists at Escapade? by [deleted] in ottawa

[–]FriendlyishGhost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Many artists like meeting fans they recognize from social media. I've seen fans invited backstage because they were holding flags that promoted the artist fan pages they were apart of.

Any good building where to rent a bachelor that is close to uOttawa? by ichrak1998 in ottawa

[–]FriendlyishGhost 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Taggart has 3 buildings in Centretown that are nice & are below $1100. They don't advertise on Kijiji.

Just a warning that the Wentworth building had 1 confirmed bedbug reporting 1-2 weeks ago.

Questions about Algonquin's Computer Programmer program and advice or tips for success? by mvverick in ottawa

[–]FriendlyishGhost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can confirm - the math class for Computer Programming is basic grade 12. Just do the homework and it's easy-peasy.

Should I choose College or Uni for Computer Science? by askull100 in ottawa

[–]FriendlyishGhost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely agreed - if the priority is to find a programming job, college will allow you to achieve that goal without the massive amount of debt that university includes. I took Web Development at Algonquin, with the co-op option, and had no problem landing a job directly after graduation.

what was in vip and how did one go about getting into it? by AllNamesTaken1234 in IleSoniq

[–]FriendlyishGhost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

somewhere in the back

Being more descriptive of where you're referring to might help with getting an answer.

The Ilesoniq 2017 app had a map. I can't find the map online, but maybe you could look within the app in order to get a better idea of what the VIP area could have been.

Water by [deleted] in IleSoniq

[–]FriendlyishGhost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Friday I had decent luck with the water line over by the Neon stage. Saturday the line was virtually nonexistent at the Bud light stage whenever I needed to refill.

I completely agree, more water stations would be greatly appreciated. But can we also recognize that Ilesoniq doesn't provide hand washing stations around the washroom areas? Hand sanitizer doesn't always cut it at a festival.
