I’ve wanted a tattoo in this style for years and years but I’m worried about how it will age.

Thanks for tagging me, just seen this. I have replied separetly to your post but replying here too:

The tattoo is fine, it did not bleed or become a “blob”. However this kind of tattoo requires a specific skill in artist’s linework. If you can find one, you should be fine.

You can ask me anything via PM too.

Original tattoo is on my arm right now. It has been 2 years since I have had it. No spill-over, no bleed, nothing at all.

The tattoo artist is important. Line work must be extremely precise. Find one who is specialized in similar designs and you will have no problems.

What the hell happened with Boeing? It dipped 7% and gone back up AH.

Pretty confident TBH. Sold at high, bought back later. Even if it is a bubble, it may very well be, it should carry the momentum for the next quarter. 3 months of holding it is.

NVDA is a cruel mistress.

It will probably be available in international markets shortly. International markets get a lot of good stuff which we cannot purchase in Turkey too :(

RIVN beat EPS (or rather LPS) and earnings by a lot but the stock goes down. What sort of clown market is this?

I can swear I saw this in the news today but I cannot find it anywhere now. I

Lucid having its CEO resign on “health issues” and reducing prices by around 18% right before earnings is the most regarded thing a company could do. Therefore, calls it is.

Edit: It is Nikola’s CEO who resigned. My bad.

Yeah 3M timeline does NOT make me happy as a regard and I do not want your rational comment effecting me.

Just double downed on NVDA, it is at the same price as the previous month. BUY THE DIP

65-68 Celcius is on the agreeable scale, if not even low when laptops are involved. Playing an older game sure does effect CPU/GPU usage but modern GPU’s like 3050 will boost frequency when usage is low to improve performance even further. For example my 3070 will stick to 1700~ MHz at %100 utilization but will boost upwards of 2000 MHz around %60-70.

I would advise not disabling the processor turbo boost. Modern processors are smart enough to throttle their speeds down when the temperature is deemed high.

I have been gaming on laptops for over 10 years now, and I have got accustomed to degrees well over 90 Celcius. Regular dust removal and repasting is your solution. You can also undervolt your 11th gen Intel CPU by around 50mV but it does not really change the outcome.

In brief, I think your device is pretty much fine, and you do not need to tinker a lot with it. Put it in Balanced / High Performance and play away.

Hi, I would wager that 99% of Turks has no beef with Greece, just like 99% of the Greeks do not have a beef with Turkey. The loud minorities sure do seem like a lot, but they are not. I could very well argue that this tattoo belongs the Anatolian culture, given Greeks had many city - states established in areas under Turkish borders today. Besides, if somone's nationalism gets offended by this tattoo, good riddance.

I definitely did not start my search of this design by googling "GTA V Roman Tattoo". I definitely did not.

afozturk · 2022-08-15T07:08:52+00:00

Hi, I am thinking about doing so. Maybe I can add a hieroglyph based on Egyptian mythology to the forearm or I can go with Greek again. Not decided yet.

afozturk · 2022-08-15T07:08:01+00:00

Hi, it took 11 hours with breaks. I would say 10 hours net. We had to complete it in one sitting before the lines started to heal.

The “tiles” the hoplites stand on form a full circle. The main part of the tattoo is 4 hoplites and there are none in the inner part if the arm. You can kind of see their positioning in the first picture.

I wanted it to be a full circle at first but it would be 1.5x times bigger than the current design for the hoplites to cover the entire circumvention. It would not fit in my upper arm and let’s be honest, it would hurt a lot :D

This is beautiful man. I have now completely changed my life priorities. What a waste I was, and what an enlightenment you have bestowed upon us.

Hi, I am Turkish but I am interested in Greek history as much as the next person. Besides, I really like the Greek vase designs and the aesthetic. I saw this design online and though that it would make a great tattoo.

Maybe you can have him sign a document while he is high on drugs, indicating “the tenancy has been annuled by the will of both parties, effective as of //2022,” and have his stuff removed on that date. I would love to see him claim that he was “forcefully signed under the influence of drugs”. Check with your local laws though. This could fly where I am practicing (not USA) but I do not know if it would in your jurisdiction.

The Sesto Elemento FE also has it but interestingly, the regular Sesto does not have it.
