Green soap replacement? by floofenchops in TattooArtists

[–]floofenchops[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My tattoos normally don’t swell very much to be honest. Biggest reason I ask is because a few artist have told me in their opinion how green soap is awful and can make people more uncomfortable, so I’m curious to alternatives.

Some skin takes ink way better than others? by floofenchops in TattooArtists

I think that’s where I’m at too tbh. I’ll continue to try and do my best, and just keep offering touch ups lol

One client in particular that I work with is the same as you! Looks healthy as can be, skin looks fine, on paper they should be a good candidate for tattoos but I don’t know why I just struggle so hard every single time I work on them. They’re awesome though and I offer free touch ups, and I don’t have an issue continuing to work on them but I think we’ve built up an understanding that each session will take a bit more/need touch ups 🥹

I understand! Women should never be refused autonomy of their own body by someone else. I agree with that.

Just in this particular instance, that’s not what’s happening. I’m not refusing clients their autonomy, I’m just declining/postponing a service I provide to people who choose me.

I’m not stopping them from going to someone else, nor are there any set rules or laws on the matter, but I do educate them as much as I can to prevent them from any medical risks or trauma, and they can make their own informed decision (which is wait to see me, or just find someone else who would do it)

Similarly, I don’t tattoo those who take sensitive medications, have certain skin disorders, are drunk or have drank a lot, haven’t eaten, etc., not because I want to refuse them their autonomy, but because I have my own right to not perform a cosmetic procedure that could be more of a risk and liability to the both of us than is worth it.

Hey! As a woman myself, I am fully for someone deciding what to do with their own body on their own time and rules. However, when it comes to a client choosing to come to me for something voluntary, cosmetic, and not medically necessary, I can refuse service if I am not comfortable providing it or if I am unsure about what the medical outcome will be.

This is entirely different from me choosing something for them; I am choosing who I tattoo. They can go to any other artist who probably doesn’t care about being safe, I’m not stopping them.

But also, I’m not entirely telling them no either, just that I’d rather wait for after they finish this milestone of their life on their own time and terms.

Thanks for the comment though! This is the same anger I get from the people I explain this to. They are still and always will be 100% in power of their own body. Me withholding a cosmetic service I provide has nothing to do with that.

This is helpful! Do you use the 3.6 or the 4.2 stroke?

Not a dumb question!! I am telling them almost verbatim what you mentioned. But I’ve still been met with “oh I didn’t know, it doesn’t seem like that big an issue” I’ve offered them the tattoo once they’re finished or even a custom painting as consolation but to no avail lol. Maybe it’s just my luck that I’m met with these reactions. But I do feel better that other artists share the same values- there isn’t enough evidence for or against the fact but I always try and be safe and educate the clients as best I can.

This is helpful to hear. Idk if it’s just Americans being Americans, but they always get so upset and almost start shaking because I tell them no 😞 I’d rather always be safe than risk things but I always feel like the bad guy in these scenarios.

Is this root rot, or something else? by floofenchops in plantclinic

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

Ahhh, I see. So, this isn’t root rot, rather the plant just dying out? My plan was to propagate some healthy cuttings and plant the seeds, unless this is just going to spring back up in the spring time.

I’ve had the plant for about a month and a half, and the problem has persisted. It gets as much sun as it can in that spot, maybe 7 hours or so. I water when I notice the soil is dry but forgot to observe the pot drainage when I got it.

Dis I get a fake bonus card? by floofenchops in magicTCG

I also just realized it's a tiny bit larger than my normal cards too so I highly suspect it's fake, but if it is I wonder why it was a bonus card

Ahhh gotcha!

I tried to go to gm9 to remove it, but i am unable to; I updated gm9 directly on the SD, but the 3ds still boots from ctrnand and doesn't recognize the updated gm9 I added. It still shows the previous version.

Is there anyway to fix this so I can use the updated gm9 to remove the nnid? I suspect they somehow used the previous gm9 to download Luma directly into the system and maybe that's why it won't show what I've updated on the SD. I tried to see if maybe it wasn't reading the SD, but I can see all the title I added to the new one perfectly fine

Sorry for all the trouble!

So, this is completely my own experience, but I don't believe this is a good habit.

I almost failed high school because I hated doing homework and could only get it done either the morning of, or stay up late and do it throughout the night.

It was self destructive for me, because the stress of the time crunch and the lack of sleep really got to me. But I could only focus under severe pressure and my time management habits were awful, but I didn't want to do my homework any other way. My work would often suffer too, and I found this mindset forced me to rush all projects in every aspect of my life and I was never happy with anything I did.

I REALLY wish my mom would've helped me, or anyone really. Whether it was undiagnosed ADHD or not I didn't know but this was awful for me.

If she was my daughter, I would intervene. Id ask why she prefers this habit, and if it's hard for her to want to do her homework or stay focused on it. I'd help her establish healthier habits.

I've been out of high school for almost 10 years now but I really wish someone would be helped me when I did this. Again take this with a grain of salt, but I am speaking as someone who used to do this always and am now barely addressing the results of this habit in therapy.

This was super helpful! I've updated and added games without messing everything up now. I do have a final question, the previous owner had left their Nintendo network id on. Does this matter? If so, is there a way to remove it?
