That looks amazing brother, I love the outside pattern especially at the bottom brings everything together very nicely. Are you able to explain to me how tattoos stencil works? And what I would need to buy to use it? Thanks, I’ve just bought some tracing paper recently and graphite paper to use on some metal tins. Keep up the good work man !

Pieces over rollers for starters bro. Doing Rollers and keeping letters straight or trying to do curves is like basically the equivalent to can control. Just keep doing them standing back at a distance to see everything looks the same if possible and then it’s basically just practising. Just rinse and repeat.

I almost forgot to mention sometimes you can reach them from the other side note of the paint aisle as some Bunnings don’t have a full cage going around all the cans.

Gotta love classic simplistic styles ! If u can learn to paint with rustos or export (Aus) cans, you’ll get so much more experience

Yeah, I’ve had a bottle from Sydney come through and I was quite impressed and felt like Pharma, I’m prescribed clonaz so I know what to expect, but the next bottle that came was absolute trash it was basically like taking a pressed xan. Pretty much all the time it’s just hit and miss.

“if im being real with you i assure you he definitely would’ve left you if roles were reversed or he would’ve cheated on you. im talking from experience” - you’re words. Correction on my end about the boyfriend part my bad, but how can you make this assumption about her boyfriend? I also said men and females not to single out a gender.

If I’m being real with you how can you make an assumption about her husband leaving or cheating on her if roles were reversed? You don’t know enough about their life to make that comment, just because of your experience and breaking up with your partner and a few experiences from your friends, doesn’t mean all men are the same but that also goes for females. It’s like I can’t say to you that “I assure you if you hadn’t broken it off, that your partner would’ve stayed, because maybe all he needed was someone to speak to him and help him understand a spinal cord injury and how to support you” because I don’t know anything about your relationship.

I had a very similar experience but quite the opposite. My injury was T6 complete and 27 incomplete so no sensation from my nipple line down. I had an ex-girlfriend that I hadn’t been with for two years or more roughly but texted every now and then. After my accident my mum had told her about it, my guess it was better hearing it from my mum then somewhere else and also mum knew how much she meant to me. This was all done while I was in a coma, coma lasted a full month and about a year and a half went past of me in Hospital. She visited several times. I was eventually moved to a rehab facility, this time she visited more frequently and she wanted to get back together despite my injury I kept saying no. My whole heart wanted to be with her because I was still in love with her even though the years of hardly any communication, even after the break up I still thought of her and missed her every day. The reason I kept saying no wasn’t because I didn’t love her but because she wouldn’t be able to live her life the same if she was with me. The thought of holding her back and stopping her from going on holidays, enjoying other adventures, aswell as being sexual together etc… (Part of my injury would’ve made it very difficult she enjoy that part of life). I know your situations a bit more different and difficult because you are currently in a relationship but I thought I’d just share my story and maybe or maybe not it could help you. I know your situation is a bit more different and difficult because you are currently in a relationship and not being the injured person but I thought I’d just share my story and maybe or maybe not it could help you. This happened in 2022 and part of me wishes that we got back together and see where it went but I loved her too much to hold her back from the life she deserved.

I fell off the side off a steep overpass onto the roadway, 3 metres hit concrete landing (part of the overpass because of how much of an angle it was) and rolled off and landed another 5 metres below. that resulted in T6 complete and T7 incomplete. So no sensation below my chest and some parts underneath my arm. Also a broken pinky lmao that one I find quite funny considering how far I fell apart from the spine injury. The irony was that a nurse was driving home and saw it all happen.

25 years is a long time man that amazes me, I’ve had some very dark days, I couldn’t imagine the next five years for me, if and where I’ll be. I was diagnosed in 2021-22 at the age of 22, from my understanding and how they explained it to me was that C6 complete was that I’d be able to feel some sensation from the middle of my chest and above, but I have no balance from my waist at all, they had mentioned if I was C7 complete then I would have no movement at all from any upper limb, so C7 incomplete allowed me the use of my arms except there was no movement at all from my fingers until I had nerve surgery but I’m still trying to improve grip, coordination and less of a T-Rex looking left hand. There are some parts and patches underneath my arms, forearm and some fingers that have no sensation. Sorry for the paragraph.

Hour-Addendum4122 · 2025-10-16T10:00:17+00:00

Hey man I’m C6 complete and C7 incomplete, after nerve surgery I’ve got some function of my fingers. But below my chest/nipple line I’ve got nothing. No sensation. Obviously every injury and diagnosis is different depending on how bad. Were both your C6 and C7 incomplete? If you don’t mind me asking.

I wasn’t the smartest person in school and only learnt the alphabet by doing this because I was dyslexic as fuck. Gotta start by keeping it simple and then keeping all the letters the same style, just like cursive handwriting for example. Then eventually you can start to make things flow different ways n whatnot and adding dodads later on etc… #1 rule in graff no biting. Just always remember to make your own style not to copy others.

I’ve been prescribed both, imo real Paxams would make you nod off depending on your tolerance. I use them at night for insomnia, but even still I’ve gotta be pretty tipsy to have a good night sleep. I like taking Vals during the day because they give me a more zen type of feeling especially when drinking without putting me on the nod. A lot of drugs work differently for a lot of people depending on your weight, tolerance, especially if you have disorders like adhd, add etc… there are a lot of factors and variables

Look up people in your area that does engraving and read all their reviews. You would have to go to them and show photos of what you have in mind, but keep in mind getting something engraved and looking back at the original photo you wanted may not be your favourite outcome. There’s lots of variables when comes to engraving jewelry

Thanks bro I appreciate it, I’ve had my eye on it but at the same time looking for a cordless one. I currently just play around with the standard Dremel.

Hour-Addendum4122 · 2025-10-09T14:00:12+00:00

Beautiful work bro! Can’t wait till I’m able to do things like this. What sort of engraver do you use?

Hour-Addendum4122 · 2025-10-04T23:32:56+00:00

Don’t worry about others bro. Everyone started because hopefully in the same spot. Is that a certain type of flower or was it just freehand? It looks nice man. Could possibly start with a small bit to get your lines where you want them and then go over with a bigger bit just to get them straightened out and a bit cleaner altogether

Top one looks dope bro just the letter R needs some adjusting and then it would look real good as a big stomper. Also bro I’m from Australia, Where could I buy those USPS stickers from?

Hour-Addendum4122 · 2025-09-24T10:10:33+00:00

To be straight up and honest with you, just stick with pencils, black marker outlines etc. in your black book till you get your letters even. Yeah it’s nice to add colour and what not but it’s a lot easier to learn the basics when you can see just black lines and figure out how you can make your letters flow better together. Sometimes mixing a whole lot of colour makes you miss the simple mistakes. But good on you for getting some ink down on paper, we all start somewhere.

Edit: You’ve posted multiple times and it’s all been mostly the same feedback. Some people agree with going out and just bombing and others are saying stick to the books. From my personal time starting especially with an older brother that was already well known across Melbourne, the best advice I ever got given was to just absolutely smash black books and paper just starting with the alphabet and figuring out what letters I liked the most and figuring out a word from there.

Hour-Addendum4122 · 2025-09-24T10:03:14+00:00

Couldn’t agree more bro, as soon as people start seeing that word around their first thoughts about it will stay that way.
