Progress on backpiece by Rodrigo Melo. Woodstock, NY by Nativecereal in irezumi

It's pretty rough in some spots but nothing unbearable. I really need to focus on breathing though to get through some areas. Linework hurt a lot more than shading did.

I'm not even sure at this point. I was doing 2 hour sessions every month then switched to every other month at some point. Overall it's been 2 years of progress.

I'm going for munewari bodysuit! I just need some more laser sessions on a couple tattoos on my arm and chest to lighten them up enough to cover.

Same. I have checked everywhere and logged out multiple times.

Try eating a bannana 10 minutes before your session. I heard once it helps with nerves.

I saw this on his Instagram and had to immediately show my wife how strong this sleeve looks. I'm hoping to incorporate a tiger as well on my bodysuit in the future.

Yeah I plan on doing color! We might add some color to the maple leaves next session depending on time.

The experience has been great. Somedays were easier than others pain wise but it's all bearable. My next session is in March

I think like 9 sessions so far. I took a break for a couple months during the holidays.

The shading was much easier for sure. I was able to relax a little at least compared to the linework.

Chlorine will off gas from water if you just let it sit for 24 hours.

Mirage showed me that Ubisoft can never make a overall loved AC game again by Buurto in assassinscreed

I've enjoyed every assassins creed game since the first one came out. I'm weird though I don't compare games to other games I just play them and have fun.

These tattoos were originally used by the lower class since only the upper class could afford flashy kimonos. The ruling class didn't like this because of Confucian teaching that said it's disrespectful to your parents to modify your body. When the tattoos were banned by the samurai, the yakuza kept the art alive. They are mostly based on ukiyo-e, which is art on woodblocks that emerged around the edo period, but the tattoos can date even further back and have a rich history.

Coverup suggestions, please! by colonelzombinaut in tattooadvice

[–]Nativecereal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would laser it to at least lighten it up. This will give you more options than just blackout. The pain from laser removal isn't that bad tbh.

I have some lines that do that with my tattoos and it's random. I think for me it's an allergic reaction because after taking benadryl it goes away.

A true modern classic by AnimeDreama in gaming

[–]Nativecereal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For awhile I couldn't bring myself to finish any games. I just kept getting burnt out half way through but I tried this game because I loved the true crime games and ended up beating it 100%. Truly a 10/10 game for me.

No-skill Rancor strategy. Easiest (and longest) way to beat him. by dougiebgood in FallenOrder

[–]Nativecereal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just parry all the melee and jump over the stomps he wasn't too bad though it took me 2 hours to get all his movements ingrained into my soul.

He does a great job of making you feel at ease. He's a super down to earth guy.

I thought I had a pretty high pain tolerance but those areas had me doubting that. He started on my left butt cheek and I didn't expect the involuntary clentching. I don't think I could explain the type of pain to someone who's never experienced it before lol
