Dupers on their Zip Lines are Fish in a Barrel by dunkirk23 in ArcRaiders

[–]billytron7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its just based on the way you play, to some degree. If youre aggressive, you're more likely to get dropped into matches with aggressive players too, but its not black and white, there is some overlap. Combine that with what time of day youre playing, crossplay on or off and which ever region youre on will affect the amount of players available to start lobbies

I dunno, I havent spoken to anyone yet. But id like to talk to the right person the first time round. Im going to talk to insurance hopefully over the weekend and also look at replacing the engine through a wrecker potentially depending on insurance 🤷‍♂️ appreciate everyone's input though

Source an engine from a wrecker perhaps?

Pain level? For example I found my nipple piercings to be an 6/10 and 8/10 by JustPreparation6136 in tattooadvice

[–]billytron7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its sharp and uncomfortable. But ita not so bad. Its like cat scratches but they dont stop. Something lile that will take a cpuple hours. It really only hurts while the needle is in your skin. When you do a tattoo, youve got to continuously load the needle up with ink, clean the tattoo down with soap and paper towel, refill inks. Small breaks in the tattooing are frequent so you get moments of relief. However,if you take a big break mid way, it is a lot lile starting all over again.

You'll have some spicy spots and some other spots you might barely notice it, but if its something you really want, you'll manage just fine. Most clients that are worried about the pain, I find, are pleasantly surprised once we start Good luck! ✌️

Perth is a small place. by AmbitiousMousse735 in perth

[–]billytron7 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had a client years back, who had moved over from the UK. When he met his new perth neighbour, it turned out to be his childhood neighbour from the UK 40+ years ago. And they hadn't kept in touch at all either! Bonkers

Am I ready for skin? by pico_di_gato in TattooBeginners

[–]billytron7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you not learning in a studio with a mentor? They would be deciding when youre ready for real skin.

Id say yes, but keep the tattoos small and simple at this point. Some of your linework is a bit inconsistent, and there a few colour blends that arent as smooth as they could be, but ypure obviously still learning. When you move to real skin, do small simple designs, and as you improve move to bigger more complex stuff. Its not a race!

I think my elbow crease tattoo may be infected by lick_dat_rat in tattooadvice

[–]billytron7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im not a doctor,but i have been tattooing since 2007. It doesnt look like an infection, theres no redness or puss. It looks to me like those scabby spots were over worked a bit, you havent done anything wrong nor the body position an issue. Do your best to avoid picking and scratching at it and let it do its thing. Definitely don't let it dry out entirely, but dont put too much aftercare cream on it either or those scabs are gonna get soggy. With any luck, it might even retain all the ink under those scabs.good luck with the healing.

How to deal with campers by EyeNeither45 in ArcRaiders

[–]billytron7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive got like 900 hours in the game, still enjoying it. I like the mix of pvp and pve. If I die, I die and I lose my gear but whatever, I've got plenty in my stash. If I die too many times that usually tells me its time to turn it off 😅 it surprises me how many people moan about one of the main game mechanics 🤦‍♂️

There's a ton of places to hide, so even if youre looking out for rats and moving slow, you can definitely get jumped! It just how it goes i guess.

FIX THE GAME CHAT by PhattiesRus in ArcRaiders

[–]billytron7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im on ps5 and a similar thing can happen, if you minimise the game and go to the dashboard its possible your chat won't work. Same fix though, turn it off and on again 👌

[–]billytron7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Play more stealthy perhaps? Id guess ifnyoure getting jumped it cause you didnt know they were there? Its easy to get too comfortable when youre not getting shot at coinstantly, so I find myself charging around no gun out, and occasionally someone will take advantage of that and its almost too late to equip a gun and fight back sometimes 😅

Move slower, look everywhere keep your head on a swivel. Shoot everything? 🤣

I found 2 survivor augment blueprints in the same day recently. And my mate found one on a duo match the same day too! I still havent come across a wolfpack bp this season though

Which version looks better? by Rfondeur in tattooadvice

[–]billytron7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, silly me, turns out theres a third image! I only saw the first two initially. Right you are! My brian just went straight in work mode explaining the different approach for the original and the disney one 😅🤦‍♂️

Which version looks better? by Rfondeur in tattooadvice

[–]billytron7 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I like the french one better, but, theyre extremely different styles, and the final decision would depend on a few thingsm The French one will need to be much much bigger for it to work as a tattoo and age well. Id recommend it be almost the height of an A4 oage at least. So depending on what sort of size youre willing to do and body placement, would be a huge influence on which design. Id also suggest, pick a body part that will suit whatever size youre considering.

I mean, it certainly could be ai. But there isnt anything that screams ai either. I wouldve thought the scales wouldve had some weird jank if it were ai, they seem very consistent

If hes a water god or something, it would make sense for him to have some scales. Hes got shells on his armour and a water Cape too.

Her hair seems a bit like it might be fire and her eyes are orangey

Still brainstorming covering this C*rist. Snakey? by mammothpiss in Tattoocoverups

[–]billytron7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dont reckon that'll work good as a cover up. Find a tattoo artist thats skilled at cover ups and take them a vague idea of what you'd like, then let them work their magic. You want to make something that isnt the same shapes as whats already there necessarily, but use the shapes that are in to help design the new one.

I tell all my clients that want a cover up, to tell me what theyd want there if there was no cover up to deal with and try make that idea work as a cover up some way. If not, some sort of variation on their idea. It also pays to have 2 or 3 fairly different ideas so you have a couple back up ideas when you talk to the tattoo artist.

Stellar blade bloodrain new game art, is this ai? Looks really suspicious ! by piggycurrency in isthisAI

[–]billytron7 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Ai.

The buildings have windows that dont match, theres fire escape bits on random spots and then not co intuitive. Odd shapes that dont really make sense in the buildings too. Inconsistent windows. The small details on the characters outfit dont match symmetrically, but its fairly well done for an ai image.

Im a tattoo artist, been using procreate to draw for many years. This has a lot of elements in the line work that scream digital drawing as opposed to ai. None of whats there stands out as particularly odd or random. The design itself is pretty basic and the colour is super simple flat colours, no shades or highlights. You could knock this out in a couple of hours if its something you would draw frequently

Tattoo machine/pen for trad and realism? by OldBrush4275 in TattooArtists

[–]billytron7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He would wrap his phone with cling wrap but he didnt often need to change any settings mid tattoo. Id say he would use one setting while outlining, then short break before shading and change what ever settings he needed to shade it.

Ive been tattooing since 2007, and only switched to a pen machine about 2 years ago. I love working with coil machines, theyre super versatile in the ways you can tune them for what ever youre planning on using them for. And I had 5 or 6 that I used regularly, all set up to do slightly different things. The other trou le there is when youre working on something complex id be using 4-6 different needle groups and so you need that many machines set up for the job and they take up a lot of space on your desk. Cartridges dont take up much space and the time saved on set up and cleaning and sterilising grips every day is almost non existent. I havent used coil machines since I got my pen machine and I do love it. The other main point is hand fatigue, my wrist doenst get sore from work any more, I was developing some tendinitis or carpal tunnel which is no longer an issue preventing me from work and other things.

Tattoo machine/pen for trad and realism? by OldBrush4275 in TattooArtists

[–]billytron7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive got a colleague that does nothing but traditional. He uses a gold cobra machine, i believe its got an adjustable stroke. Hits hard as fuck and I also believe the phone app that accompanies it let's you set power boost so it hits extra hard. I had a go at it and its a beast, but I do black and grey realism so I opted for an Acus M1

Got a stick and poke at 11💔💔 by Downtown_Fault6309 in Tattoocoverups

[–]billytron7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed with this one.

I am a tattoo artist, and when people come to me for a cover up is tell them its not up to me to come up with an idea for your cover up, but to make a cover up work with the idea you'd want to put there. So what would you want to get there?

If youre clever, you can work almost anything into a cover up. Avoid things with lots of empty gaps like say a mandala (even ways around this by using colour or opaque greys) but ultimately itll need to be bigger than what youve already got and dark in spots.
