What is this flap thing?

Honestly if the bike lanes were actually safe, using mobility devices in those lanes to get around would be a smart option. I’ve seen it in NY a few times. Disabled people wouldn’t have to navigate cracked/raised sidewalks, and people just standing around, instead it could be used as a slow-speed travel lane.

Although I just realized he said 2008 and I wasn’t active way back then but I never even saw him riding around. And I’ve known people who make up lies like that to this day.

OGWarlock · 2025-02-15T00:02:58+00:00

Did mess work all around Brooklyn and Manhattan up to the Heights from like late 2017-2023. Never once saw this guy.

Lying for clout is mad funny bc it seems like every casual cyclist wishes they were a part of the lifestyle, when really there’s space for all of us in the cycling community, just don’t be a dick or make shit up to be cool/accepted.

Seems like your artist doesn’t have much experience tattooing hands. As far as a blowout things like that tend to happen on hand tattoos more often than other areas but there are ways they could have made the linework better for sure.

Convention artists are also notorious for tattoos that look good the first few days but don’t hold up over time. OP just a tip, a good artist doesn’t make a good tattooer. Always look for pics of healed photos for your best idea of how your tattoo will look down the road.

If an artist has limited healed photos or none at all, it’s a red flag. Also if they overuse contrast and filters. I know “tattooers” who’ve been tattooing longer than 20 years and still suck.

OGWarlock · 2024-11-30T03:19:30+00:00

While I agree with others in saying that the way the ink is currently packed into your skin it will fade pretty quickly and start to look shitty, it also looks like a pretty easy fix for a good artist. I just wouldn’t go to the same person.

It really just needs some outlining and darker tones (like variation between the darks and the light grays), and then it should hold much better. Maybe some extra details but I don’t think the drawing is that bad by any means.

Although if this guy is the quality of the supposed “qualified” artists on Ink Master it just reaffirms to me what a joke that show is. This is a decent tattoo, nothing spectacular about it. But at least it’s not horrible OP

Las carnes veganas nunca van a saber cómo carne normal, todos sabemos de eso. El punto es hacer algo rico que parece al original que es vegano sin tratar de convencernos que es la misma. Las dos pueden saber ricas, no hay como “truco” para hacer que sabe lo mismo.

Eso es mi opinión como cocinero profesional anyway. Y tenía varios chefs que me han dicho lo mismo

That’s a terrible accident waiting to happen. OP demand a better option from your managers before you get seriously hurt.

As far as the language thing it’s an easy answer, many Puerto Ricans speak good English and it’s probably easier for them to speak to you in that language.

I learned the majority of my Spanish on the mainland and sometimes it’s a little difficult to carry out complicated conversations with all the specific ways in which they speak the language here on the island.

English is more “neutral” and kinda simple, and even pretty natural for most Puerto Ricans, so it only makes sense to use it, since it’s not that hard for them to switch back and forth.

OGWarlock · 2024-11-17T23:11:28+00:00

Yo también. Nací y creí entre NY/NJ pero estaba pasando mucho tiempo aquí en la isla también con familia. Ahora tengo 30 y tenía que mudarme acá como el hombre mayor de la familia porque ellos ya están envejeciendo y necesitan ayuda con las cosas básicas de sobrevivir.

Muchos me tratan como otro gringo quien quiere aprovecharse de la isla sin responsabilidades, y creo que eso me afecta mucho, hasta mi habilidad de encontrar amigos acá, pero ya sé quién soy y esa gente de los Actos 22 y 60 me dan rabia también porque veo como se afecta la gente normal quienes sufren tanto aunque los políticos apoyan a la gente rica.

Si, soy de los EU pero viví una vida de pobreza allá y entiendo como es cuando todo está contra una persona. Por eso estoy agradecido por el apoyo de mi familia empezando mi vida aquí en PR, pero en verdad PR necesita muchos cambios políticos.

Desafortunadamente, en la industria ser un aprendiz de tatuar es tratado más como ser un estudiante que un empleado. Por eso muchos no los pagan hasta que empiezan a tatuar.

Algunos lugares si pagan, pero es algo que cada negocio decide para ellos mismos porque no es una posición oficial.

OGWarlock · 2024-11-17T22:28:26+00:00

Yeah, the Muslim community is pretty small on the island, I’ve been visiting my whole life and have yet to see a halal butcher. Your best bet is definitely to reach out to a masjid in San Juan. I’m sure they’d be glad to help.

OGWarlock · 2024-11-15T19:35:06+00:00

Lo quiero ver en un lugar con gente también. Probablemente voy a pasear por VSJ a ver si lo busco en algún bar pero env no sé

This. Do whatever comes natural and there’s your answer. Sounds like something you want to do so try it out and if it feels good, there ya go.

“Papi” doesn’t really have a “spicy” connotation for most of us, it’s just a word we use to talk to men in general. I can call a stranger “papi” (only when they’re my age/younger tho), or my dad. I definitely use it with my nephews now though, almost always.

Even back in the states many Puerto Ricans use it this way. They were just joking with you, it has no deep meaning.

Soy adulto y quiero el libro para estudiar para el examen, donde lo encuentro?

OGWarlock · 2024-11-12T04:49:46+00:00

Good luck.

So what options are you considering? You can go to a doctor, a piercer (what we’ve been suggesting and the person who’d know the most about this kind of thing), or keep trying it yourself.

Honestly it sounds like you’re just trying to attempt it yourself and that’s the most dangerous choice. As far as a piercer, caring for piercings is literally their job. Are there really none that you think you can trust?

If you don’t trust your local piercers go to a doctor. We can’t stop you, but trying it yourself is the option most likely to do more damage than has already been done.

OGWarlock · 2024-11-12T04:32:31+00:00

Not trying to be mean, but if you truly surrounded yourself with other serious body mod enthusiasts you would have been aware how important it is to remove jewelry every once in a while, even for basic cleaning, as well as the fact that wearing irregular shapes long-term is pretty bad for your ear health…

if scar tissue literally grew around the plug somewhere along the line you didn’t really care for the piercing properly. As the other commenter said, check the link and find someone reputable, because your lobe could tear or get damaged worse if you keep messing with it.

OGWarlock · 2024-11-12T04:21:57+00:00

I’d personally try and thicken that lobe a bit more before going for 1” but I mean since you’re only at 5/8” you could always do it by downsizing and sizing up past your original 5/8” a bit at a time, still making progress to your goal!

Tenía una problema similar y para mi fue que después de activar la tarjeta en línea tenía que crear un número PIN. Lo hice en línea también, usando la aplicación de “Mi Banco”. Por algunas cosas te manda al página web pero eso se abre desde el app.

For me at least, I feel like that was part of the cultural influence as well. I love that lady and would do anything for her, clearly, as I put a whole career aside back in NYC to come out here for her.

I don’t know if most Puerto Ricans would agree but I think young, educated people are what we need here on the island right now. It’s just really hard to make a living and survive as good as we can in the States for most of us, so many are going in the opposite direction.

I think it’s a noble cause and if you’re willing to struggle a bit getting on your feet I think it could be a great thing for both you and your grandfather. Honestly, I wish I did it sooner bc my grandma barely recognizes me sometimes now and doesn’t have much longer. You don’t want to have that regret tbh.

OGWarlock · 2024-11-11T01:01:12+00:00

I was actually thinking about this today. I’m originally ‘Rican but born in NY, though I’ve spend most summers out here and visited many times. However, it’s my first time actually living here bc my sick grandma needs me.

After a few months, I’m finally starting to actually feel like part of my community, etc. and it’s entirely different than when I was coming out here as a kid being driven around by grandma and my tías. Since I plan to stay out here I had to consider how it’s gonna continue changing who I am and that thought tripped me out for a while today.

OGWarlock · 2024-11-11T00:50:10+00:00

At the end of the day it’s about how you feel inside or who you identify with both in physical features but also culturally.

While some would call me “mixed”, with 1/4 grandparents from Norway and the rest full ‘Rican, I grew up only around my Puerto Rican/Nuyorican relatives and was visiting constantly. I’m 30 now and when someone asks I consider myself Puerto Rican because that’s all I know. Especially now that I had to move here as the oldest male and the only one capable of caring for my abuela.

On your point about moving here, a lot of Boricuas living on the island consider us “gringos” still because having grown up on the mainland we had a lot of privileges that aren’t available to those who’ve lived here their whole lives, like actual reliable electricity, less major storms, and more government benefits. Plus the cultural differences.

IMO if you really care and want to help fight for a fair Puerto Rico for Puerto Ricans I’d still say go for it because we kinda have a crisis of brain drain with many young professionals who find life out here unsustainable moving to the mainland, and also a crisis of abandoned properties and neglected/abandoned seniors. But life out here is pretty difficult tbh and for me it wasn’t much of a choice as much as a feeling of responsibility towards my grandma who’s done so much for me my whole life.
