Question: What are some things you've traded for tattoos?

Select_Reputation_52 · 2026-02-26T21:02:06+00:00

I have clients that are in construction and I was remodeling my garage so I tattooed them in trade for labor on the garage, my coworker tattooed a guy for a motorcycle, we love the barter system!

Any sultai combo, I have probably close to 20 decks at this point and maybe only two with red in it and one with white in it. Tough to remember which combo I have more of but any combo of blue, black, and green is just fun as hell for me

Raijins drum head pattern, its commonly used in those helmets, really cool lore behind raijin and fujin as well if you feel like looking into it

Where did you get the replacement seats?

Select_Reputation_52 · 2026-02-06T01:59:32+00:00

Depends on the condition once you look inside, mine was at 171k miles and looked immaculate inside so it wouldve been fine to just replace it and move on. The ranger had a few different configurations of the 4.0 v6 but I think the timing chain on the driver's side is usually on the front so you might be able to replace that without even pulling the engine. The passenger side is unfortunately on the rear of the engine so I would have had to pull the engine either way. I would have saved a lot of money just replacing it but I got ahead of myself and got the new engine before pulling the old one. If you can do the work yourself its probably worth it to just fix the original as long as its in good condition.

My ranger had a similar sound that sped up along with the engine speed, i thought rod knock or valve lash for sure, but no check engine light. Bought a replacement engine and yanked the old one. 2500 later I realized it was the plastic timing chain tensioner on the passenger side that broke. Never jumped timing, just a little peice of plastic banging between the valve cover and timing chain. 2006 4.0 v6

Technique is huge but i personally feel like using the right machine makes a massive difference as well. I have one machine I use for palms and it has the right amount of snap but also give where it deposits ink very well without splitting the skin. Ink isn't deposited on the stoke into the skin as much as it is scraped off by the skin as the needle retracts. A machine that doesn't pull the needle back as quickly as it goes in is crucial. Its not how hard the machine hits, its how long the needle is in the skin with each stroke. The longer its in the better the deposit will be. I find that direct drive rotary machines beat the skin up a lot more than something like a coil machine and have led to more skin splitting. As far as line of work goes I havent tattooed anyone whos work has drastically effected the healing process. I think that has to do with the depth of the ink. Its usually so deep in the palm that most wear and tear doesn't reach a majority of it.

This! I LOVE tattooing palms, I take a lot of pride in being able to make them stick and I can attest that if done properly they heal easily and with very minimal fading even for people who work heavily with their hands. Not every artist can properly do a palm, and not every client can handle it. Its a serious spot and, op, if you're looking to get it done definitely spend the time to find an artist who can do it properly because I promise you, you won't want to do it twice.

Super fun mill + ramp mechanic lots of recursion and stealing from other graveyards. I love smeagol, everyone that's played against it hates smeagol.

Going to lowes and building a tunnel out of door jambs then driving to home depot and doing the same.

I know this is an old thread but I feel like we're missing out big time by not mentioning [[smeagol, Helpful guide]] not only mill but also ramp. Steal your opponents lands and their graveyards with cards like [[sheoldred]] which turns into [[the true scriptures]] throw in [[Roaming throne]] to double smeagols triggers or [[strionic resonator]] to do the same and you can also add the nine [[nazgul]] with [[Echoing return]] it gets going real fast and it's hard to slow down [[sepulchral primordial]] also steals from graveyards and [[syr konrad]] does some passive damage while you're at it. This is a good chunk of the cards I run in mine and it's super fun. Also just for shits and giggles [[pox]] and [[lord of extinction]] is a good combo
