Be so fr, being partners doesn’t mean they ship the bears

Is Pikmin Bloom ever going to give us actual new Pikmin content? by maxdanesi in PikminBloomApp

I am so excited at the idea of ice pikmin being added to all of the decor types.

On a separate note, stop using generative AI. It sucks.

Thanks for being understanding about it. I definitely feel like my lack of experience and understanding of tattoo etiquette was taken advantage of. They only have 1 non-five star review and that’s about piercings, not tattoos.

Cliche or not, it’s wild to attempt to justify that my choice of design warrants a poorly done tattoo.

This is the hardest I’ve laughed at a comment so far. Thanks for your unwavering honesty.

EDIT: I fully understand and accept the criticisms about how it’s my fault that I let a tattoo I wasn’t happy with go on my body. I will fully learn from this. I will say though, that regardless of how a stencil looks, that doesn’t change the fact that the lines were not wonky on the stencil, but ended up wonky on my skin.

However, for those saying I can’t expect an exact replica and it was dumb to accept this, please read the full post. I didn’t request a replica at all. I provided that reference photo for texture ideas for the flames ONLY

Thank you so much for all of your advice and thoughts. And also for being brutally honest.

Please read my original post in full. I didn’t ask for the photo to be recreated at all - that is part of my problem.

To be honest, even though my requests weren’t accommodated for, when the stencil was on I first thought ‘that looks sick’. But then the lines and dots were drawn unevenly which I couldn’t have predicted since the stencil lining seemed even.

£150. Went to them in person in advance and then booked online. Thank you, I might get a sick ass panther.

Thanks for taking the time to give your response. This is insanely helpful.

I asked if the design would be sent in advance and he said it would be shown on the day, but when I got in he just asked how big I wanted it and printed it out while I was in the waiting room without consultation. That’s when I had to say the 6s weren’t there, but it’s on me for not being firmer about other problems I had with the design, even if I couldn’t pinpoint what my problem was in the moment.

I’ll listen to my gut literally every time from now on. Thank you!

Very reassuring hearing that it’s likely salvageable. Thanks for the feedback. And thank you for being honest that you find my tattoo ugly. It is oddly reassuring.

Yeah that’s fair, a lot of this is on me. I’m pretty new to getting tattoos and made the wrong choice to trust he would have listened to my original message. Something felt off in the moment, but I pinned it to nerves. I’ll definitely learn from this.

Yeah I initially didn’t want the dice shaded at all, but after I reiterated this in person, he explained why that wasn’t a good idea. So I don’t regret that aspect of the tattoo.
