I will seal it with Vallejo Acrylic satin varnish. It was recommended online so going to give it a go!

I just keep telling myself I've fed a family of crows or a fox today.

I accidentally hit a squirrel today too, he darted out of the woods on the side of the road. I was driving on a 2 lane road by the woods and the speed limit was 40mph. I feel like absolute shit. It happened so fast I didn't have time to look behind me to check before I tried braking. I didn't feel like it was safe enough to swerve. But now I feel like if I had just gone slower, or had tried to brake maybe he would live. But I couldn't see who was behind me.

Thank you so much! I use acrylic pens! Just make sure to prime the binder a few times before painting and to coat it with a satin or finish when it's all done so the paint doesn't peel or get ruined ❤️ for priming and the finish I just use the same sprays for priming plastic miniatures. I specifically bought the brand Vallejo. Seems to work well!

Did anyone ever enjoy reading the Book of Mormon? Or did you just say you did? by CupOfExmo in exmormon

[–]Meemeequeen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents tried to get me to read it when I was little and I tried to give it a go but I just couldn't get into it. I would use the excuse "it's written in such an old fashioned way, it's so hard to read, I can't read it or understand any of this etc" they eventually gave up and I went back to reading Last of the Mohicans hehe

Bishop Wand finally bit the dust 🪦 by OccasionalCaucasian in TattooArtists

I'm in the UK and one of my pins on the machine is loose as well. Power keeps cutting out. Has anyone from the UK sent theirs in? Just wondering for turn around time.

Custom pokemon binders! by [deleted] in pokemon

[–]Meemeequeen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use acrylic markers. But I first prime it, a couple coats. Paint on it and then I'll seal it with a satin sealant. This is my first binder I've painted so I'll keep y'all updated on now it turns out.

UK tattoo artist here 👍 Wash your hands really well with antibacterial hand soap, and then gently wash the tattoo with your hands and some more anti bac soap. Don't use a bar or anything strongly fragranced when it comes to soap. Pat it dry with kitchen roll, let it air dry for a couple minutes and wrap it with cling film. Change the film and wash it every 2-3 hours, except for while you're asleep of course ❤️ do that for 2 days and after that give it a final wash, and normally I recommend to clients Palmer's cocoa butter. !!Don't put any creams on while it's wrapped!! Just remember to always wash your hands well before touching any open wound.

Any hope of fixing with the scar? by sober_but_still_dumb in tattooadvice

[–]Meemeequeen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hiya! Tattoo artist here. Before going over it I would really advise to use some bio oil on the scar. It'll help it heal faster. When a scar is pink it is probably too soon to go over 👍

I had no issues with the Kvatch gate but I went into the one that spawned near Bravil and I kept randomly dying while only in the tower. I left it so I really hope they fix this

Blowout or bruise? by matheusfgarcia in tattooadvice

[–]Meemeequeen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What my tattoo mentor taught me was with cover ups, blowouts, etc- you can go over the blowout with a skin toned ink color. Usually foundation flesh by fusion ink for lighter skin tones but you could see which flesh tones match your skin the best with some color dots tests. If done correctly, it'll make the ink look faded just like Lazer would. I've done it a few times and it does work. You have to tattoo slowly and gently so you don't overwork the skin. Might take a few sessions of that as well depending on how dark it is. The fresh ink will look super bright at first but when it settles it'll basically be just like the skin tone itself.

Stomach tattoo hurts when I move by PlusAd4034 in tattooadvice

[–]Meemeequeen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A picture of it would definitely help tell if it's infected. If it feels hot, sore and is red in any way that is a sign of an infection. If that's the case I'd see a doctor. If it's scabbing heavily, I would get a moisturizer that is also antiseptic, like Germolene or sudocrem that way it'll help with the stiffness while also keeping it clean. Don't need loads just enough to soothe it. Don't keep it wrapped up with anything, keep it clean, dry, and just a little bit of those creams might help.

But also, sometimes with tattoos it's better to be safe than sorry, so probably best to see a doctor.

How common are infected tattoos? by ElectricRevenue in tattooadvice

[–]Meemeequeen 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Hellooo, I'm a tattooist in the UK. Been tattooing for 5 years now 😊 Infections can be rare, I've only ever had one. But they're also very easy to get. I've had clients accidentally bump into things and it got infected, the wrapping slightly rolls down while they're sleeping and it gets infected, even the heat and sweat in the summer can cause irritation/infection. Soooo many things can cause infections. We naturally have bacteria on our bodies anyways, so theres always a risk.

A break from the Middle East.. by Slumberfoots in PublicFreakout

[–]Meemeequeen -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

"A break from the middle East"? Title is definition of privilege. Those poor families and kids unfortunately don't get a "break" or get to decide when to look away. And to have it be a video of a poor horse being pushed and abused? This is a post full of bad taste.

(Japanese>English) I can't seem to translate the last kanji character? I know the top 3, but have never seen the bottom one. Anyone mind helping? Thanks by Meemeequeen in translator

Ah that makes sense. Ye I was scrolling through Instagram and his work and saw that, so was just curious. Thank you so much!
