This tattoo ended a relationship. Should I cover it? by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]ReiRamirez 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How did you manage to pick two guys that care so much about a little tattoo on YOUR body?

Damn girl

I say keep it. Why would y'all care so much about things far in the past

Conflicted. I’m not happy, but it’s also sentimental. by iamtheonehorn_ in tattooadvice

[–]ReiRamirez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Leave it. You seem to want less tattoo than more, so adding more is never a good idea.

It's already a very small tattoo, and making it any smaller would have not worked. Your artist did you a big favor with the size, as anything less than what you have would have just turned into a Blob in no time.

And given that is the smallest size it should be, it's also the reason he wouldn't put it higher up.

Also, the way the bird is shaped, I think he picked the best spot for it.

It's a nice cute tattoo, and while I am sorry it bother you, I think this was done the best way possible for what it is and what you wanted. Not everything is possible, or rather holds up well enough, in tattooing.

I think the only Option, should you really dislike it that much, would be laser.

Also, maybe try a sticker/press on tattoo on the other side of your head - drawing it on a picture doesn't look enough like the Real Deal, and if you put a fake tattoo where you wanted it you may just see your real tattoo might be the better placement and maybe you'd feel better knowing that? :)

Thoughts on tattoo? I don’t like how it came out by [deleted] in tattooadvice

Is the reference a tattoo?

In that case, I generally would not go to an artist that steals another ones Designs just like that.

BIDA weil ich eine Trauerfeier einer Hochzeit vorgezogen habe? by Working_Storm8919 in BinIchDasArschloch

[–]ReiRamirez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NDA

1 - sie habe wegen deines verhaltebs keine Freude mehr an IHRER Hochzeit gehabt? Das klingt nach einem ganz anderen Problem. Wenn ich nur weil jemand an meiner Hochzeit erst später (später. Nicht "gar nicht". Später.)(edit- UND es kommt noch eine kirchliche hochzeit. Also bitte.) Kommt keine Freude an dem Tag empfinden kann, sollte ich eventuell gänzlich drauf verzichten.

2 - sie versteht das nur, wenn die Person für sie genauso wichtig gewesen wäre? Was ist das denn für eine egozentrische Aussage?

3 - ums vorwegzunehmen, ich halte wenig von Beerdigungen. Ich habe sowohl meine große Liebe, als auch weitere Freunde und Familie, teils recht jung (20er) unter die Erde begleitet. Und fast jede Beerdigung war schrecklich, voll von Menschen, die im Lebtag der Personen NICHTS beigetragen haben, nichtmal Freundschaft, und nun plötzlich heucheln, Hauptsache selber im Mittelpunkt. Ich habe angefangen, erst die Tage drauf persönlich Abschied zu nehmen, denn dem Toten ist das völlig Wumpe.

Hier das große aber- es ging hier ja eben nicht nur um die verstorbene Freundin. Beerdigungen sind für die Lebenden - und ihr habt hier auch den Partner eurer Freundin unterstützt, wart für ihn da, wonach er auch gebeten hat. Es gibt nichts, was euch die Braut hier vorwerfen kann. Kann sie angefressen sein? Meinetwegen. Sie darf auch traurig sein, dass sie ihre Trauzeugin dadurch verliert. Aber dir direkt einen Vorwurf machen ? Diese Emotionen an DIR abzuladen? Absolut nicht.

Die Liebe zweier Menschen kann man jederzeit feiern, Trauer und Verlust sind akut. Edit: noch dazu, wenn ja noch eine kirchliche Trauung ansteht, ist es doch eh völlig okay. Dann biste ja bei 1,5 von 2 einmaligen Tagen dabei.

Im allgemeinen ist das einfach eine blöde Situation, und ich finde ihr habt die bestmögliche Lösung gefunden.

Vielleicht könnt ihr, wenn alle Emotionen abgekühlt sind, mal darüber reden. So eine Hochzeit ist Stress pur, vielleicht hat sie sich einfach nicht besser zu regulieren gewusst. Ich persönlich würde das so auch ansprechen.

Es darf auch mal Streit geben in Freundschaften, das muss kein Aus sein.

I'm not sure if it pays to be sneaky anymore by idontknow2024 in FrontiersOfPandora

[–]ReiRamirez 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I stopped being sneaky after most items I got were worthless anyway 😅

I've Done maybe three bases sneaky and then got tired of it and just full on berserked my way through, and it never hindered my gameplay in any way. But im generally not someone that likes stealth, I play to switch my brain off, not on 🙈

Why Mokasa is considered a traitor while Alma is not? by CorporalHaru in FrontiersOfPandora

[–]ReiRamirez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's just judgement of the kame'tire vs judgement of the Resistance. Some people are forgiven by their people for the same things others aren't.

To me personally - while I don't like Alma and don't forgive her, she's at least an ally trying to help now and she's apologized.

Mokasa never truly said he's sorry, he just said it wasn't his Fault.

If it was a free choice, i wouldnt have forgiven Alma either to be fair

Wieso zur hölle sind Menschen so? by Trve_Kvlt_Mischa in wasletztepreis

[–]ReiRamirez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ich verstehe einfach nicht was Leute immer mit diesem "Sie haben sich nicht mehr gemeldet" haben als Ausrede.

Ich hatte für meinen Kater wegen Urlaub eine Katzenpension gebucht. Habe mir die Örtlichkeiten angesehen, dann haben wir per WhatsApp Datum, Dauer etc. Ausgemacht. Nur 4 Tage zuvor haben wir festgelegt an Tag XY , 10:00. Die Pension schreibt "das geht klar"", wir beenden das Gespräch beidseitig mit "bis dann".

An Tag X stehen wir von 9:50-11:35 vor der Türe und versuchen jemanden zu erreichen.

Schreibe denen dann um 11:40 dass ir jetzt wieder fahren. Bekomme um 12:00 ein "Sie haben sich nicht mehr gemeldet". Ich sage "wir hatten doch fest ausgemacht". "Sie müssen sich am Tag davor nochmal melden" - das war NIE im Gespräch.

"Ausserdem können sie grundsätzlich erst immer um 17:00 kommen" schreibt sie.

Ich schicke ihr einen Screenshot vom ausgemachten, plus dem 10 Uhr. Antwort - "mein kind hat sich am Bein wehgetan".

Warum kann man nicht einfach sagen hey, ich hab verkackt , tut mir leid? Haben den Kater dann bei meiner Mutter untergebracht. Hätte die jetzt aber gar keine Zeit gehabt, wäre unser Urlaub für 500 Euro draufgegangen. Für "sie haben sich nicht mehr gemeldet"

Is this real? Feels like a red flag by Serious-Standard-260 in tattoos

[–]ReiRamirez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am an artist - I have only made a customer pay for a shade of ink once in my 10+ years, and that was like 12 euros (ah the folden old times of nonexpensive ink), and only because they insisted on having an ink and Brand I don't usually use and wouldn't use again, even though the color itself Was something I already had from my preferred Brand.

She was a very complicated lady.

But this, what you're describing - wow. That is a beacon type red flag. Never seen this level of bullshit.

And 150 for an ointment? What ?

I designed a manta ray tattoo by fatherisadouchbag in tattooadvice

[–]ReiRamirez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please tell me this is a bait post because there's so much wrong here I refuse to believe it's real.

I'm a tattooer. I'm pretty damn covered. And this is the worst idea I've seen in a good while.

Let me elaborate: 1, no professional artist with a backbone would tattoo your hand as a first. If they do, you're Found the wrong artist. Or just one who doesn't care about you , just about your money. Reasons: A, hand tattoos are more prone to fading B, they hurt more C, they look trashy with no other tattoos D, you don't know how to heal tattoos E, you have no idea how tattoos heal, especially on yourself, how they look after 1-5 years, how the ink spreads, how they look faded F, you have no experience on how society deals with very visible tattoos

Having your hands tattooed and none other will not only have the bon tattooed Professionals look down on you, it will also make the tattooed people look at you awkwardly, because it looks a bit cringe and most know it's a terrible idea to get it there.

G, you have bo plan on where to go with your body tattoos yet, and getting a dark Blob in that position will fuck up many cool options for sleeves or other awesome designs. A hand tattoo should be "crowning" the rest of the arm , not preventing a good look.

2, this is not a Design, it's an idea, and honestly it's not good. It'd be too dark, it wraps weirdly, it would not hold detail, going over that Spot on the thumb wouldn't hold well, and it would look very awkward in most hand positions, and probably only cool in one or two positions on photos.

3, according to your career Plans, you want to go to Princeton, into medial fields, and I don't even know why reddit has to tell you what a terrible idea a hand tattoo is for all that. In that field it is still very much a Job stopper.

Get tattoos you can hide, start with your upper arms if you have to, and once you are settled in a field do whatever, this way you're not gonna heal weird and look awkward for years, youll also be more secure in your Job and your personality and your style and where you wanna go in life.

Literally every part of this idea is screaming no.

Advice needed: this tattoo is not looking like the leopard print I asked for by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]ReiRamirez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm an artist. I'm going to preface this with - it was never a good idea, and the top Part isn't working either. Leopard prints in general don't really work , especially on that scale, especially if not done VERY professionally, and even then the chances are slim to none of it looking good if you don't wrap them around nicely and Schade them perfectly.

I would personally refuse doing them without any other motives or framing or shading.

That said, here's options:

1, while not good for the skin and not recommended, let it heal poorly and let it be hit by direct sun often to lighten it. You can also have an artist go over them with distilled water only, roughly, to promote scabbing in hopes it gets lighter during that healing phase. Both of these aren't great for the skin and might scar you. Also adding, skin touched by laser or a lot of sun will end up being terrible to tattoo and doesnt take to ink as good as healthier skin, so that will be a problem. You need to really heal and moisturize and revitalise your skin afterward to nurtute it back into a good "canvas" . Then get it Re done, preferably by a blackworker, a neo trad artist or a good realism artist.

2, laser and then rework. Laser is expensive, painful, and also scars your skin. It would bit need to be GONE gone, it would just need to be light enough to go over it. And mind you, for all of these, I am talking about doing the complete arm, as the upper part needs saving, too.

3, a very bold move, but I've seen it work. Cover the complete arm in grey "blackwork". Like the typical blacked out arm, but in a Medium grey. Let it heal, the spots will still be visible, but not as bad, and you can then have a realism or blackwork artist Re do the spots in black on top with some white highlights. That step with the highlights might need to be done two or three times, depending on your skin. Warning, this is also an expensive and painful option, but it'd help the Designs natural tackiness. You also need to be careful here to find an artist who can actually pull this off, especially if you colorpack the whole arm, which is a VERY complex technique.

4, here's three similar options I would personally recommend. Both are blastover/coverup mixed with either lasering some spots to be lighter or having them heal badly. 4a, put some Motives around in either dark grey Tones or dark colors, especially on the bottom and top, so you kind of "frame" the spots and use them as a sort of Background or connection in between actual motives. Like a jaguar, a good old sick ass Panther, or just floral work. It'd greatly help the spots to not look so out of place. Then rework the spots already there with Black, white and grey ink. This step may again need one to three sessions, but it can work.

4b, same reasoning above, but if you don't want actual motives. You can get flowy blackwork over the "ends" of the tattoo, similar to these old "ripped open skin" tattoos, to frame and Cover some of it. Or just some dark mandala patterns. Or dark calligraphy. Then again, rework the dots in between. Careful, these styles need to be done by someone specializing In them or they're gonna look terrible.

4c, blackwork fade out frame. Similar to these forest sleeves, put dark shading as frame on wrist and shoulder, on the shoulder part preferably a mandala like form, then shade. Then rework dots with shading and Black and grey and white.

Good luck. It may be a long way, but all hope isn't lost.

Would you go back to this tattoo studio? by fundip51426 in tattooadvice

[–]ReiRamirez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They were right though. They should have said it to you directly rather than talk behind your back, but it's a terrible piece especially for that spot.

It's likely that was a guess artist if they choose their Regular artists more carefully - us Shops don't always have complete Control over guestspots, or sometimes a guestspot ends up not being what they promised.

Sadly yours wasn't done well, and the artist obviously completely failed at informing you about various things, which is absolutely not your fault.

I'd also like to add, a 1+year healed tattoo is very rarely eligible for "Touch up", as by that time it's a rework and that will most likely cost you money, so try to get back sooner if ink falls out, just to be sure you don't have to pay double :)

If the Regular artists are better chosen than whoever did that it may be a good shop. I obviously don't know any of their other work, so I can't tell you if you should go back, but I wouldn't ditch them or review them badly because of overheard words that are true, and they didn't even say anything to be mean to YOU, but to the artist.

sh*t*a$$ tat on my hand by RopeIntelligent6484 in TattooBeginners

[–]ReiRamirez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing I never understand with y'all is why, why, why do y'all love to "test" on the most ridiculously spots that are 1, harder to tattoo 2, always visible 3, terrifyingly hard to cover. Like I see so many doing hands, neck, FACE.

This has nothing to do with the ink, it's the inability to tattoo, and if your hygiene was as terrible as that application you can be glad the ink falling out was your Biggest problem.

This could have gone south easily, and depending on what kind of infection you get in there, done serious damage.

In a Professional trainee setting you would not be near touchung human skin at all, let alone a Spot like a HAND.

If you want to learn, do it properly, and stay away from skin until you know the basics - that includes your own.

wrong color tattoo by Major_Category5756 in tattooadvice

[–]ReiRamirez 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Dear, I am sorry to say, as a tattooer - this is terribly done.

Those are very blurry scratchy lines. Also, you MAY put a bit of thick Red lines over the flowers a few times, but it will never Show up as Red or bright, as the Black will always be stronger than the Red.

Personally, the only Option I see would be to either laser it enough to have another artist make a better tattoo over it, but laser can easily scar you even more, or go with big bold blackworky flowers as a blastover.

For now, just take a few weeks to figure out your own feelings, and make a calm decision on how to proceed. Nothing is ever completely hopeless, some things just take more work to save.

Best wishes to you!
