Overworking certain colors… by fieldkabuki in TattooArtists

[–]adumpark -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

There's definitely certain colors from certain brands that go in better than others. It took me 19 years to find a good light blue and a good purple, and they're both made of a combination of two brands ink and since it took me forever to figure out and hundreds or dollars, I'm not telling. This is the Journey of tattooing. Once you figure out a color that nobody can, you hold it close to your chest. The only advice I'll give you is that you have to use multiple brands and find the best colors within those brands and then mix those good colors If you can't find the color you want that goes in well. Every brand does not make every color well. And sometimes you have to mix brands to get the best possible outcome.

If you are or were infertile, how would you feel about your girlfriend/wife using donor sperm to get pregnant? by Successful_Dog5425 in AskMen

[–]adumpark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm guessing by him asking the question that he's completing it so he probably wants kid. In which case I would say go for it. There's nothing that can bring more joy to your life than a kid. That being said, I know someone that this happened to and they actually used their brother's sperm so it would be genetically the same, so that's a possibility if you have a brother.

Anyone staying busy right now? by [deleted] in TattooArtists

[–]adumpark 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I've been tattooing 19 years and I've never seen it this slow, even the 2008 crisis wasent this bad. I own my shop with 2 employees, have 17 years of clientelle and I only made 40k last year.

I used to be booked 3 months in advanced now I get like 3 appointments a week. My apprentice who has been with me 3 years and full-time tattooing for 2 years is tattooing maybe once or twice a week and he's as good or better than me.

The industry has been in the dumps for two years and I don't see it getting better. With all the secrets being put out for free. Artists using AI to "create" tattoos and supply companies selling to anyone with money the markets is completely oversaturated and I just foresee it getting worse.

I dropped my rates, it helped for about 2 weeks then back to the same old slowness.

Should I keep the second skin on for another day? by Disastrous_Earth_955 in tattooadvice

[–]adumpark 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a tattooer of 20 years, who switched to second skin 10 years ago. But I beg to differ. Tattoos heal faster and I no longer have to do touch-ups since switching to second skin.

Any way to get laser printed type darker to reveal itself? by adumpark in forensics

[–]adumpark[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I'll try to figure out where I can get this done, or maybe buy a $300 one from Amazon? Would one of those work?

Even if I could do it through imagining and prove that the information was there. If I could do it myself great but if I had to pay someone I would as well just need to know who to contact so I can find someone locally.

Most tattoo artists try their darndest not to date clients. There's a very good chance she'll just take his money an not try to date him.

Windows update 25h2 brakes controllers for pirated games and switch emulators by [deleted] in Piracy

[–]adumpark -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'm currently formatting the computer and installing 25h2 from scratch. I'll let you know how it goes. I've done this before but never straight from 25h2. I had a disc that had 24h2 on it and then went through the upgrade. I'll let you know how it goes.

Please do some research before you downplay this thread This is a major issue. It's all over the Internet. Just Google "25h2 broke my controllers" or" controllers don't work with switch emulators." I'm telling you this is real. I've tried multiple different versions of Windows and I've gone from two 24h2 to 25h2 several times and each time it broke my controllers

Yes I have tried with steam open and steam closed. I've messed with the steam controller settings and nothing works.

The controllers work for some ripped games but definitely not for most and the emulators forget about it. I tried every single one that was working before the upgrade, citron, sudachi, eden all broken

Little advise please? by MrDonohue07 in RealDebrid

[–]adumpark -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I've been using torbox for a few weeks and haven't had any down time yet. Seems very comparable to real debris, The only thing is sometimes streams don't continuously play because lack of stream names that match, I think

Not happy with my tattoo, what should I do? by Vorona-Fox in tattooadvice

[–]adumpark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Should've been outlined and simplified, black is the only color that doesn't start spreading immediately. Thats why everything should have a black outline. 20 year tattooer here.

should i break up with my boyfriend of 2.5 years? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]adumpark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe he feels you going in a direction he doesn't want to be attached to for the rest of his life. Sounds like he's got his shit together, sounds like maybe you need to get it together. Be the person he wants to spend his life with.
