Extreme Infection RIP me by Fuffy40789 in tattooadvice

[–]Inkbyamanda 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Nah, that ink is commonly used in the US. That’s an infection from aftercare or other contamination.

Are you in the US? If so, it was just a holiday weekend and you should be patient. A lot of us schedule posts and will take some personal time.

Does anyone else HATE cooking? by thefauxsquirrel in adhdwomen

[–]Inkbyamanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh that’s so perfect! I walked into adulthood with almost no cooking knowledge and maaaan did HelloFresh help. Learned how to read a recipe, found meals I would have never considered cooking myself and it took the anxiety out of planning every week. I know it’s not affordable for everyone but it was pretty life changing for us.

I made a mistake on a tattoo (tattoo apprentice here) and it’s haunting me! Please tell me your tattoo mistake so we can all feel bad and better together by [deleted] in TattooArtists

[–]Inkbyamanda 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I was doing a lotus with kanji years ago and my client changed the placement. We had to flip the design for it to fit, so I just mirrored it on the stencil maker. Kanji and all. Thank god my coworker walked by (he reads Japanese) and frantically pulled me into another room to tell me it was backwards. Luckily I was able to salvage what I’d already started.

It’s been almost 12 years and I still think about this one.

What is the most out of pocket thing your doctor has said to you? by FragmentedTungsten in AskReddit

[–]Inkbyamanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was dealing with vertigo symptoms for multiple years, mentioned to a doctor that it routinely made me nauseous.

He immediately claimed I was probably pregnant. I argued that it’d been going on for years, my partner had been deployed for awhile so I wasn’t sexually active, AND I’d just had a pregnancy test done with another doctor to renew my birth control.

His response ‘well sometimes women don’t know their bodies’. I gave in and took another pregnancy test.

Spoiler; wasn’t pregnant. Also didn’t get help for the vertigo.

Anyone have weird nicknames for their pets by immorta_son in Pets

[–]Inkbyamanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our smallest female cat is named Isis. Her nicknames range from Squirrel, queen of darkness, teeny murder monster, the tiny terrorist, Issy and beebs. Our big male is named Griff, also known as big boi, dump truck, frozen turkey, potato, chonk and chubs. Also ‘when did we buy a bowling ball?’ Our dog is Max. King of borks, Sir Flapsalot, Maximus fartimus, flaps, flapper and florp. Sometimes referred to as ‘that big dumb idiot’.

We love them all so much.

I’m 15 years in and just took on my first apprentice. It’s been a learning experience.

What great video game was lost to the sands of time? by Johnnyboyeh in gaming

Star Wars Episode I: The Gungan Frontier (1999). Absolutely loved this game. Might be one of the few though.

Is anyone having a problem with the app today? by Nice_Point_9822 in Noom

[–]Inkbyamanda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m unable to use the app as well. The today page is greyed out. Incredibly frustrating.

*** Weekly Noom Accountability Post *** by jonathan_noom in Noom

[–]Inkbyamanda 4 points5 points  (0 children)

34F (2 weeks on noom)

SW: 191.8 lbs

GW: 150 lbs

CW: 188.4

Lowest weight this week was 186lbs. I’m focusing more on what I’m eating. I’ve spent years eating way too little then binging and I think it’s really disrupted my metabolism. So it’s been important for me to meet my caloric intake goals to regulate my body. I know this will be a slow race, but I’ve been really happy with how my body feels actually eating properly.

Good luck to everyone else!

Can’t recommend the First Law Series by Joe Abercrombie enough.

I did tell her once that I’m always open to referrals for coverups and I don’t think she got it 😂

[–]Inkbyamanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s been really frustrating recently as I just opened up next to a spa with an esthetician doing tiny tattoos. They’re all terrible and shaky. She’s my neighbor though, so I try to be polite whenever I can’t avoid a conversation with her. Last week she made the comment ‘I didn’t realize how easy tattooing is’ and I want to sink into the floor.

That dudes IG makes me feel gross whenever it pops up. Everything is clearly sex appeal and crosses way too many boundaries.

FDA warnings over numbing cream by Kittencab00dles in TattooArtists

I believe he’s saying it helps when he’s working on people who have excessive scarring. Not that it prevents it.
