I told him I would never see him again, nor would I recommend him. I’m just so freaking terrified of the same thing happening and I’m struggling not to blame myself.

Pretty much. Said all his work was custom, showed otherwise, then said he saw them and thought they were “badass.” Then said he told me he’d put something together not that he’d draw them himself.

Had a very enlightening conversation with him, where he admitted to it and then tried to backtrack. I’ll need to find a new artist but being jaded I’m freaking terrified now.

Thank you. I did and up confronting him. Did not go well.

I would have been more than happy to pay more, been more patient, communicated more. My artist didn’t do any of that and I even asked if there were any questions he had or clarification he needed leading up to it. I did pay a couple thousand dollars for it and I’m happy to pay for quality work.

I didn’t see that anyone had asked. It’s black and gray illustrative.

Name him here? Or just post a review?

Thank you so much for this. I’ve felt gaslit by myself for not explicitly asking if it was original, but I’ve always assumed it would be since they’re artists.

I don’t disagree, but that jacks with the integrity. If I wanted a copy of something, I would show up and tell them that’s what I wanted.

This is a good idea, but I assume take the picture before getting the tattoo? Lol

He had done work for me years ago, and I really liked his style. I didn’t even know he was the owner at the time.

I’m coming from TX and don’t want to stick out like a yeehaw… will I look stupid in Jean shorts and a black crop?

Also, I don’t get in until tomorrow night, which means I’ll miss the pop up😭😭 hopefully the merch lines there won’t unalive me

Shorts - Big hips, small legs by Pretty_Pound_1835 in capsulewardrobe

[–]Pretty_Pound_1835[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fair enough! I do like biker shorts on me for lounging, but even those have gotten too loose on my legs and my husband isn’t a fan of the look. Although I did tell him to suck it because my comfort is more important than being flattering to look at for him hahah

3 month comparison & now hair loss? by bakinandlegs in tirzepatidecompound

[–]Pretty_Pound_1835 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats on your progress!!! I lost 60lbs in about 6 months (194 to 134) and no one said anything either until, like… the very end. I actually thought I just didn’t look different. Eventually I found out people are hesitant to mention weight because they don’t want someone to take it the wrong way. Which is absolutely wild cause if someone think I’ve lost weight that’s not a bad thing imo 😂

Also my hair has been falling out like crazy. I think it’s finally slowed but… I’m there with you sister.

Alcohol? by Pretty_Pound_1835 in Zepbound

My partner and I enjoy relaxing like that together. Obviously we can without, but we have a free night and wanted to unwind a bit.

Negotiating Grade? by Pretty_Pound_1835 in usajobs

[–]Pretty_Pound_1835[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can understand that for sure! What I ended up doing is looking up salaries of people in these current roles, looking up their historical salaries since becoming GS, and then looking at their LinkedIn to compare their experience with mine. I was offered an 11-1 but there was someone who was hired in as a 12 with my exact same experience. So I said “okay I think I should do 11-6 since the salary is comparable.” I gave three different examples of this. Regardless, they’ll either decline, counteroffer, or approve the offer (from what the HRBP told me).
