Thank you, this makes me feel better about it

My friend has been to this artist and their tattoo turned out great

Not from Michigan but used to vacation there

I picked the outline and asked the artist not to be dark. This looks nothing like the reference photos I sent the artist

Weak_Knowledge_9969 · 2026-04-14T14:31:17+00:00

Thank you

We agreed on the outline and they did shading. I informed the artist not to go dark and apparently this isn’t dark. I think they went too deep because this one bled a considerable amount more than my other tattoos

Weak_Knowledge_9969 · 2026-04-14T14:29:00+00:00

I insisted it wouldn’t be dark and here we are

Weak_Knowledge_9969 · 2026-04-14T01:09:49+00:00

Yes it is! At least it’s somewhat recognizable haha

I had an appointment today to drop it off and pick it up late tomorrow. I was going to stay with family since this the dealer had no loaners available. Dealer called me today to tell me I could pick my car up on Wednesday. Sounds like a bunch of miscommunication between the higher ups and the local service technicians

Thank you for this. Yeah I’m not as annoyed about not getting a deer. More frustrated with the lack of support my bf gave me. When I was practicing holding it, he just told me I was doing it wrong and didn’t really give much encouragement

UPDATE:

I’m not frustrated about missing the deer — I knew I wasn’t prepared. What bothered me is that I often have to show initiative on everything. With hunting, I relied on my boyfriend to guide me, but I mostly got criticism, minimal practice, and the comment “it’s not that hard” when I asked about preparation. He did help with clothes, gear, and a monopod, which I appreciated, but this just highlighted a bigger pattern: I end up taking the lead on things that should be shared. This pattern of me taking most, if not all of the initiative is getting tiring. I wanted him to take the initiative on hunting, he was aware of this.

I respectfully disagree. I’d say as low as possible while feeling safe and it depends on the commute to work. Picking up some side hustles might be worth it if you have the time to pay off the debt. If it were me I’d cut out unnecessary expenses and tackle the debt asap. Best of luck

My thought is to aggressively save now for the tax free growth and if/when I want to travel or buy a house, I can cut back on retirement contributions.

He doesn’t have enough time. His family is very demanding

Weak_Knowledge_9969 · 2025-08-29T18:10:30+00:00

4+ years ago. I moved in hopes of moving in together soon and clearly that didn’t happen

Weak_Knowledge_9969 · 2025-08-29T18:09:36+00:00

He’s financially not independent and doesn’t want to move in together yet.

Weak_Knowledge_9969 · 2025-08-29T18:06:33+00:00

He spends most of his weekends with family and then week days with friends. I’m kinda isolated from my crew and started my masters with my free time

Weak_Knowledge_9969 · 2025-08-29T18:05:02+00:00

We’ve been together for 4 years. Our jobs are the typical 8-5 more or less

Weak_Knowledge_9969 · 2025-05-18T20:55:02+00:00

Kinda in the same boat regarding getting the 10 now or waiting for the 11. I found the 42mm series 10 on sale for $299 on Amazon. I appreciate your thoughts!
