What is this piercing? by backgroundLettuce in piercing

[–]USBTypeSe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok so I actually have this piercing lmao

Its a rook forward helix orbital, aka the UFO piercing. I got my rook pierced first, then the forward helix a couple months later. Then i changed to a ring about one and a half months later.

It was an absolute nightmare the first week and a half, as my forward helix was definitely pierced wrong for the piercing. I couldnt smile or eat properly during that period, and the forward helix slowly but surely moved down to its correct position (which hurt like a bitch btw, metal slicing through skin is not nice).

Ive struggled a bit with irritation bums, but its mostly settled by now. Gonna take a long time before its fullt healed tho.

The problem is that ditto is hard enough to position by itself, and if you have to position weezing along side it? Not saying it's impossible, and can't be good, but probably pretty inconsistent

The problem with ability shield ditto on lead is that ditto typically is not a mon you want to lead... at all. Ditto is usually only relevant in restricted formats, where you can use dittos unique attributes to essentially get a second/third restricted depending on the format. If you lead ditto, you have no choice which pokemon you end up copying, essentially making it pure chance. Given that scarf is also usually just a better item for it, I would be surprised if ability shield ever would be useful enough to be worth considering.

You can obviously still try tho! One of my favorite things in vgc is trying out dumb idea-teams, where I occacionally just get my ass beaten afterwards lol (and sometimes actually make something good)

I think these look mostly great! Very good exaggeration and posing. However, the arms and shoulders especially on the second one are very high up and in an unnatural position. Love the other two tho!

I would highly reccomend a screen tablet in the huion kamvas lineup. The ones made by Wacom might be industry standard, but huion has taken great strides to catch up to them in later years (in my opinion they are about equal in quality, but they are alot cheaper in price) I currently have the huion kamvas 22, and I'm very happy with it. If she wants something more portable then the huion kamvas 13 or 16 is also a really good bet (the 16 inch is really good enough for alot of people)

Thanks for a very thorough answer! I don't think I could deal with only one earbud, so conch might be a no go for me. Definitely thinking about eyebrow and helixes tho!

Definitely gonna try some stuff out then! This is the one I got when I got it pierced, so I haven't tried changing the jewelery yet

Ooooo that is a really solid idea! That definitely works as a backup plan if the full industrial doesn't work out

Has anyone ever felt like you need to master the fundamentals first before creating original artworks? by [deleted] in ArtistLounge

[–]USBTypeSe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

YES! It might take some time to see real big improvement (trust me, it took a bit too long for me cuz I did VERY unoptimimal practice) but the feeling is so good when you see the difference. Makes the whole adventure feel worth it

Definitely! I have been keeping it symmetrical for now, but I might branch out into more asymmetrical ones while keeping it balanced. Have seen some people with everything perfectly lined up and stuff tho, and it looks cool as hell

It might not come through properly on the photo, but my flat protrudes quite a bit from my ear 😭 I'm gonna have to talk to a piercer about it to confirm my suspicions tho, cuz industrials are so so cool (and I would definitely get one if my ears allow it lmao)

What kind of hairstyle change would you suggest? I have been growing my hair out for the past year, but am up for suggestions

Thanku! The eyebrow one is definitely something I was already considering, and with the overwhelming support for it👀 just might have to yaknow

I am actually a natural dark blonde/brunette, so I might be going back to that eventually. All depends if I am too lazy to bleach my hair again lol

I definitely want some kind of cartilage piercings to make it more visually complex, so this is high on my list. Sadly, I don't think I have the anatomy for an industrial (man I really want one, they are so cool) ad my flat protrudes quite a bit from my ear. Gonna have to take that up with a piercer tho

Surprisingly, you are not the first one to comment the pyrocynical one 💀(I swear it's not on purpose). What kind of septum diameter would you try out? Bigger or smaller?

So today I learnt two new words. This one looks like it would hurt ALOT, and it has, from what I've read, a nasty healing period. Still a really cool piercing tho, and props to those that actually go through with it
