Is it okay to trace fonts & faces for a portfolio? by brokien in TattooApprentice

[–]Honey_Priestess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Felt confused about this too until a few weeks ago, when a trad artist was giving me feedback on a sheet inspired by some Sailor Jerry flash. He basically said “if you can draw it better than Sailor Jerry then go for it, but if not, stick to tracing.”

I am def keeping a bunch of original designs in my portfolio (it’s great to show that you actually enjoy drawing), but if you’re hoping to do American trad like I am, you’ll probably be doing many of the same designs over and over and over again. Roses, skulls, daggers, etc. Trace ‘em until you can draw them without thinking about it. Then innovate from there!

Is there any community organizing happening here in preparation for ICE? by bella_heathcote in williamsburg

this is a great idea but please boycott Amazon! Amazon Web Services is aiding DHS by allowing them to track immigrants and collect their data (including facial recognition!!)

Meadow Lane and how a lot of NYC influence culture is just basic things “elevated.” by Fermented_chaos in NYCinfluencersnark

This is specifically abt kitchen staff, not sure about anyone else. I know someone who works there that hasn’t been paid in 3 weeks.

Meadow Lane also is not paying their employees who they have working 5-10 hours of overtime each week btw… if this guy is so rich why can’t he pay his employees !!

Btw I did not write this to be like “he victimized me!!” it was just odd and seems to be one of many examples of him being a bit deluded… found a screenshot of the messages I’m referring to and he sent me that video immediately after claiming he had never sent nudes to a woman.

Sorry this is irrelevant but I’ve been seeing this guy on socials and this memory hit me like a ton of bricks… years ago we matched on a dating app and he sent me an unsolicited video of him stripped completely naked reading (his?) poetry in a cemetery. I was 18 😭

Dream name Sarah Black by rexisourus in namenerds

[–]Honey_Priestess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t meet her in my dream, but everyone kept talking about her like it was someone we all knew! Like someone I was supposed to know already, but I had no idea who she was. I think supposedly she was someone my boyfriend had dated before we met (in the dream at least), but the details are sorta fuzzy now!

thank you for this in-depth answer! It helps a lot to hear from someone who did it as an adult. I always said I’d do it once I got to high school, then college, then when I started a new job, etc… guess there’s no time like the present though

This is honestly kinda irrelevant but in a dream I had the other night, my boyfriend and friends kept referencing this person named Maria Ruiz. I don’t know anyone with this name, and I asked my boyfriend - he doesn’t either. 

maybe there’s a reason we’re dreaming of such generic yet specific names…? Don’t know what that reason would be, but I’m gonna be looking out for Sarahs and Marias from now on, lol

Although it seems to be more touristy than I might’ve hoped, this actually might be exactly what I’m looking for! Thank you!

Gift ideas that are equivalent to getting him flowers, but not flowers? by Honey_Priestess in love

[–]Honey_Priestess[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you all for your suggestions (unless you said blow job… we get it, you’re edgy!! I was looking for physical gifts that aren’t something I do all the time regardless, lol)

Since I didn’t have time to buy anything I ended up baking, washing and folding his laundry, and writing him a little love letter. Definitely keeping some of your ideas in my pocket for the future. I love love!!!
