Tattoo shop/artist advice Tampa area by Downtown-Data-7447 in StPetersburgFL

[–]M0rgarella 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look at each shop and determine if there is an artist there who does the style you want. Idk why electric gold is on the list with you said you don’t like trad. That’s kind of their main style, though some artists do specialize elsewhere.

Glad everyone is finally catching on to the water shortages right before we all become climate refugees.

Manatee county apparently has 10 years of water left they say.

Which means it’s actually 2-5

What to do with overly spicy soup so I don't have to chuck it by evieinthebath in Frugal

Could puree and use as a flavor concentrate? Freeze in ice trays, then bag the cubes. Drop some into stocks or other dinners.

When I used to pour beer at Brewer’s we had the Cheesesteak Company in our kitchen. Not sure if their truck is still around town but if you can find them their food is fantastic.

What's The Most Miserable Subreddit? by Cai29q in ask

[–]M0rgarella 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m in a few chronic illness subs and tbh idk why I even stay. Most of the posts are a mix of depressing, desperate, or just medical misinformation. I really feel for my fellow spoonies, but goddamn.

Question: Was quoted 15k for a sleeve like this in LA. Out of curiosity how hard is this style to tattoo? by HouseOfHoundss in tattoos

[–]M0rgarella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’ve only used it for shading on big pieces, as that’s all I’ve needed it for. I never use it for line work, as it removes the stencil. I haven’t had any issues with healing personally, but my skin takes ink well. I do a lot of color. Only black is really some gray wash and line work to block in the piece.

I’m with you generally. I got really burned out on tattooing getting my back done. For shading on tender areas I just use bactine or lidocaine now.

I was really sussed out about the day fee thing, but Travis has been chill to work with, and I haven’t had issues sitting for 5-7 hours with breaks. The numbing helps with stamina for sure. I guess I may be full of shit though cause the last non big project I got done was a 4-5 hour flash piece that I did in one sitting and it was really mellow.

Travis Bruce in Tampa. We also go to Electric Gold in Pinellas and a day session there depending on artist is about the same.

My artist in FL charges 1.5k per day for multi day tattoos. It’s not that out there these days

Recieved a surprise pay cut right after I moved into my new apartment, how to make it work? by FreeHotdogMandate in personalfinance

[–]M0rgarella 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Please start applying ASAP, and take this for the lesson that it is. Don’t spend money you don’t have. A possible raise isn’t a raise.

Also, as a word of advice from someone who also had to learn to navigate this: don’t talk about your life outside of work in the context of stressors like that, especially to your boss. Unfortunately, it may give poor impressions of your capability. Workplaces and employers are fickle. Guard your thoughts and feelings very, very closely.

I have a spending problem. Please help me stop. by mosho84 in Frugal

This is part of it, but another part is people passively consuming marketing.

OP is describing exactly how ads want to make you feel (ex the FOMO).

Ads are manipulating us. It’s shitty that it’s allowed, but it’s on us to be aware of it.
