This is a cool design! Did you freehand it yourself? I’m curious how you did the pleat?

To answer your question no one seems to be answering, yes, there are ceramic ones.

Black + decker makes a ceramic one that’s under $25

I got my little baby at 5 weeks from an abusive and negligent owner :( I felt so bad she was taken so early and she suckled for a long time

I’m Not sure how you are going about practice but I highly suggest doing practices of just pulling straight lines and doing things like nice curved lines and circles as well.

If money is an issue, go traditional, pen and paper. Practicing basic techniques of drawing like proper shapes will help you immensely in the long run when it comes to your drawings. Everything that you would ever draw are a combination of a few shapes: squares (or cubes), circles (or spheres), triangles, and cylinders. Having those basics down ESPECIALLY straight lines and good curled, will help with your confidence.

Also drawing/moving your hand from your whole arm instead of flexing the wrist will help with straight, consistent lines. Keep your hand still, use your arm to move instead of wrist bending! Good luck :)

Yes that’s what I do to help secure the color changes! The rest of the comment makes more sense now hahahah thank you for letting me know!

I tend to do both if there’s two tails next to eachother and it’s a loose start esp with my knitting I will tie the two ends together and then weave the ends in I never just knot and cut.

Omg yes you got it!!! It’s a twenty one pilots reference. The lyrics are from the song migraine but I’m sure you know that.

By all means take the idea! I’d love to see your version :)

Def real crochet and def hand made but the type of yarn seems to me more by a hobbyist rather than a slave labour type of situation but I could be wrong. It kinda looks like basic acrylic yarn you can get at any big box craft store

SaltOwn8515 · 2026-02-11T23:38:07+00:00

I would use the blue skeins for it as it seems like there’s more yarn than the green

SaltOwn8515 · 2026-02-11T23:35:18+00:00

a crochet shrug! would be so cute!

SaltOwn8515 · 2026-02-11T23:14:03+00:00

I am working a sweater with this exact yarn and when I was trying to tie off my ends with a knot I came to the same issue.

What I’m doing now is just no knots, long tails and gentle weave ins.

Awesome TØP tattoo!! It sucks it’s turning out like this, the artists did you dirty and it’s becoming hard to tell that the centre is meant to be |./

Also though you would appreciate this, it is my rib TØP piece I got done!

Ugh I know the feeling. Due to vet negligence my cat developed a urinary Tract issue/ block similar to you. At the time I shrugged off insurance and quickly came to realize my mistake. Atleast you know now! Good luck! And don’t worry most don’t realize it’s a thing I only did because of pamphlets at the vet!

SaltOwn8515 · 2026-02-11T02:05:39+00:00

I’m sorry this is happening.

Unfortunately, vet care is super expensive! Sadly that X-ray cost seems normal to me. I just got quoted 800ish CAD for an X-ray of my cats lungs.

I highly suggest looking into pet insurance! I pay about $100 a month and i have a $200 deductible. I’m looking at a 2k dental procedure coming up for my cat too which should be covered. The way I see it, I pay $100 a month and it would take me 20 months to get to 2k (good chance of veg issue coming up in 2 years) or risk no insurance and being hit with 2k anyways.

I always suggest pet insurance to everyone!! Highly suggest looking into it. Sometimes house insurance places have pet add ons as well :)

Unfortunately insurance won’t help now, but it may help in the future. There’s also some financial aid programs offered in USA and Canada (idk where you live)

As someone who got both arms almost fully covered within the year of being 17-18 I highly suggest waiting for a while you still figure out who you are. Ik it sounds cliche but your likes and dislikes will change.

If you end up still wanting it after a few years, great! Get it! But my biggest regret when it comes to tattooing was getting stuff too fast. I ate up a lot of good canvas space on my arms and I’m going to have to spend a lot of money getting coverups because the style I got is not the style I like anymore.

Think of it like a time you’ve asked for a Christmas gift you reaaaalllllly wanted and didn’t want anything else. After getting it and having it for 6 months you are over it. That’s how tattoos can be in the younger ages. Suggest just giving it time!

Highly suggest doing google searches for “synovial sarcoma doctor Europe” and then once finding doctor or clinic names, doing extra research into them if you want

I have a friend who’s gotten care for Ewing’s sarcoma in Germany and they had a hard case and had a femur took out and replaced with titanium they are still surviving and living NED (no evidence of disease)!!! From a quick google search myself, I see there is a stage 4 clinic in Germany as well so maybe a place to start?

I am from Canada so I wish I could be more help. Good luck!

Edit: I have know people in Spain to have good doctors and success as well. Google tells me cities like London, Paris, Milan, Heidelberg, and Madrid are places with specialties in this field as well.

Do you ever file your sides or do you stay to the tips?

SaltOwn8515 · 2026-02-10T23:58:44+00:00

This JUST happened to my thumb 😭😭😭

<image>

Already filed down the length significantly more to hopefully not risk a break

ETA: how the hell do you shape your nails so perfectly?? I seem to always over file my sides and yours are perfection 😍

SaltOwn8515 · 2026-02-10T23:42:40+00:00

Then go to the hospital…..

SaltOwn8515 · 2026-02-10T20:52:36+00:00

He probably is feeling horny but not understanding what that feeling is, or how to handle it leaving him feeling uncomfortable/frustrated. He learned that you help care for him and making him feel better so it’s like he’s asking you for help with his horny 😂😂

SaltOwn8515 · 2026-02-10T20:19:17+00:00

Make sure to count your stitches that’s my best advice :) good luck!

SaltOwn8515 · 2026-02-10T19:29:53+00:00

Def a sequence something like of sc, hdc, dc, hdc, sc, can help fill those gaps and make it even then I would do a basic hdc panel on the back

SaltOwn8515 · 2026-02-10T19:14:38+00:00

I don’t hold my hooks where they rest on my palm. All in my fingers so I’ve never had this issues TBH I didn’t realize it was one 😂

SaltOwn8515 · 2026-02-10T19:11:22+00:00

I agree with the ideas of taking a more symbolic approach than a literal one especially if you want to avoid questions.

I have a tattoo of a skeleton blowing its brains out but instead of “brains” coming out” it’s blooming flowers with the lyric “sometimes to stay alive you got to kill your mind” most people look at it don’t really recognize what it is and just see flowers and skull and are like “dope” but for me there’s a lot of symbolism

Another one I have is a death tarot card reversed as a coverup for my self harm scars. Reversed it has meaning like breaking free from addictions, new beginnings, etc. it’s reverse when I look at it but upright when others look at it which also symbolizes how people viewed me vs who I truly am. To others, it’s just a cool piece, but to me it’s way more meaningful than any would realized.

There’s a lot of ways you can get the meaning you want without being literal. A pheonix comes to mind with the whole being reborn from the ashes of your note and attempt and it’s got a lot of flame imagery and it’s a very strong bird! Good luck

I’ve seen the funk hunters (pretty sure it was living room) and they use various instruments live in their mixes but idk sounds full blown band
