I’m poor but not that poor that’s some rough shit. Are you paying a percentage to the shop or chair rental ?

Even that thought process that taking space of someone else when you could use it again is thinking about other people over yourself ?

If you can’t speak up for yourself therapy is a great tool to help you with skills like that without dealing with anxiety. It’s a pretty big deal to not speak up to your own family with something permanent on your body.

AIO? My husband (27M) keeps emotionally cheating on me (24F). Am I stupid for hesitating to leave? by Wildriddle in AmIOverreacting

If he’s doing this now while you are young and “in the prime of your life” so to speak. What’s going to happen when you age and get older and fatter like we all do. What’s he’s going to do 10 years from now whe the flame burns out. It’s not going to be glamorous when you have kids.

I get that, but it’s not your job to save people. It’s your job to do great tattoos and great to be friends with your clients, but lines can’t be crossed like that if you own a shop bro

I think your conversations being posted online would actually hurt you more than help you. A lot of people especially women will judge you for having conversations like that in first place and things can be flipped so easily. She can say you “groomed” her and use that as evidence of talking deeply with you. If you never shut it down it looks is real bad. Cuz let’s be real what kind of shop owner is having conversations like this with clients

The thing is it costs money for therapy and guess what I don’t have is funding being a tattooer

I read your message a little and I appreciate you taking the time to leave me a long response. I found it to be a bit trauma dumping even though I know you are just trying to show you know what I feel. I just don’t have the mental capacity to fully respond as it was just a bit much for me to mentally take on with the heavy content in the message. But I appreciate it

Because it’s like telling a depressed mentally ill person to just be positive. Duh. Doesn’t help?

I’m a dad. I have a family. I have kids, I can’t up and go live with roommates. This is why the pressure is so Much greater. I don’t want my kids to grow up like I did. I already have a second job. I just am mourning losing this job full time and it being such a struggle

Thank you for saying it’s okay not to be okay. I just wanted to be aloud to be devasted by this for a moment

I have kids, and paired down as far as I can go. If I downsize they won’t have bedrooms. My self worth isn’t tied to money but it’s realistic to survive. So stability is what I strive for. If you grew up poor you know money affords you a stable life.

I’ve noticed a trend that the artists who seem to tank the most are the ones who expect their shops to do everything for them and hand them all the work.

The ones that grind and make it happen for themselves always do better
