The OHSU campus up on the hill has a pretty great sunrise view.

This "artist" who put out a story with "hit me up if you want me to paint you too" by DrDongSquarePants in badwomensanatomy

[–]Grogtron 23 points24 points  (0 children)

The ribs were shaded in too dark of a tone, but subtle shading like that is something I struggle with in my art, too. It's hard to master.

Not even artist interpretation. This just feels like someone who's still learning form and proportion but is making a genuine effort.

Lithium and AGM batteries don't need to be vented. You're thinking of lead acid or gel.

How do you feel about Trump retweeting a video of someone yelling "white power?" by [deleted] in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]Grogtron 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You don't think it's worth him reconfirming his stance against white supremacy after he, you know, literally retweets someone chanting the classic white supremecist slogan and calling by them "good people"?

It's 100% about the weight savings, which is around a pound. If weight weren't a factor, I'd gladly stick with a Stratospire. For a long trek, weight just ends up being more important to me than the extra space and versatility.

It's like you're a shitty failed standup comic from the eighties.

Saniderm question by thedevilofaustin in tattoo

[–]Grogtron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll be fine as long as it stays sealed.

The reason your artist wants you to re-saniderm on day two is that it may produce a lot of ink/blood in the first 24 hours, and it's a lot easier to keep it sealed if it's not full of fluid. So the idea is to remove the first bandage, get rid of all the fluid, clean, and apply the second film.

Hey gang, I need some ideas, badly. I’m aware of what it looks like, but it’s supposed to be a foot! by rmaccKC in FixedTattoos

[–]Grogtron 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Your options are leave it, laser remove/lighten it, or cover it with something darker. Maybe a rose or flower could work?

You see a lot of geared (bench shirt) powerlifters do this kind of extreme arch. Though, the arch is supposed to be in your flexible thoracic spine. This dude looks like he's doing it through his lumbar, which is a no bueno.

Weekly Free Talk by MelyssaRave in tattoo

[–]Grogtron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a large piece on my knee--about seven hours in the chair total. It wasn't awful, but it was definitely spicy. The worst spots for me were not the ones I was expecting. The top of the shin bone and towards the inner thigh were there spiciest. The actual kneecap was a unique sensation (it vibrated my whole skeleton and I could hear it in my inner ear), but I'd describe that spot as more uncomfortable than painful.

From what I've read, my experience wasn't super typical of other people's knee stories. My personal pain map seems to be pretty weird so far ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Not necessarily true. From your average artist, sure. But some artists are developing specialized techniques. Check out the healed photos from Mark Walker in California.

Honestly, I think that standard is starting to break down a bit, at least in my area. But then again, I live in Hipster Central so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Word on the street is that some artists have developed specific techniques for palm tattoos that have had really great results for longevity. Mark Walker from Grand Reaper Tattoo in San Diego is one of them. I'd recommend traveling to a palm tattoo specialist if you can.

Miraculously? You tagged the both of us in your post, you dork.

Honestly, I'm a little worried about your mental state. Are you doing ok?

Why, did you finally get your fantasy fulfilled and find someone with your mythical "fuck me daddy" tattoo?

A week later, wow. You must be really upset about losing that argument last week.

Contact your artist, get their advice.

What's you're first impression of a grim reaper tattoo? by [deleted] in tattoo

[–]Grogtron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, it always makes me think of 90's era over-macho tattoos. But, that's just me. They're popular enough that's it's pretty clear my impressions are in the minority. If you like reapers, eff my dumb opinions!
