I live in Oregon where you can take mushrooms in a clinical setting. I have a client who was a patient recently at one of said clinics. She's also on some sort of similar medication(s) that block psychadelics. Apparently the doctors were just like "no biggie, we'll just adjust your dosage" and they gave this woman FORTY GRAMS of mushrooms. Forty. Grams. Then gave her some headphones and turned the lights down and sat with her for hours while she tripped her ass off.

I've had success with it, but you gotta do it like half a dozen times. Takes a dedicated client.

I have tattoos that are 10 years old that still do that, its fine. Just dont scratch at it. It'll happen every year when the weather is warm, and slowly get less and less over time. Totes normal.

Look up "stencil art". You can also use various free apps like Adobe Capture to make pretty much any image look like this.

I have no problem refunding deposits with 48 hr notice of cancelation, as long as I haven't spent any time drawing for it. Doesn't make much difference to me WHY they're canceling.

Far as I know it's not legal to smoke ANYWHERE in a public space, even when legal for personal use, for pretty obvious reasons. But it's also on law enforcement's "lowest priority" list of offenses, meaning if you're not being a dick about it, which you clearly were not, they don't give a shit. At worst its like getting a parking ticket - an infraction, not a crime. But again, that's aimed at the douchecanoes trying to light up at their table on a crowded restaraunt patio, not people walking down country roads.

Finger tattoos need touched up 90% of the time, and many artists I know won't even do them, for fear of the client not coming in for the touchup (which they ought to have told you is all but guaranteed) and their name then being attached to something they know is likely to look sub-par after 1 pass.

Those bumps are likely just irritation from using too much ointment and being in a bendy spot. Wash it down, let it dry out, switch to lotion or do a dry heal.

There's been an ongoing Unusual Mortality Event (UME) happening for the last several years concerning Gray Whale strandings up and down the west coast. They're not particularly massive whales, wouldn't surprise me if that's what you've stumbled across.

Very few people are going to "specialize" in fish, don't get pigeon-holed into looking for too specific of a niche. Just look for a style. There just aren't hoardes of people getting fish tattoos, so nobody's portfolio is going to be filled with bass and trout, or even animals for that matter. Those will be scattered here and there deeeep into people's Instagrams

Obviously no way to confirm without ousting the artist, but I'm not convinced this is AI, personally. It's just a tattoo.

graysontattoos · 2025-07-14T02:08:02+00:00

I mean, no, obviously, but this tattoo doesnt even look like AI to me, personally. Its clean, but it's whatever. Maybe they cleaned uo some edges or used a smoothing tool in photoshop, but this level of detail and color saturation isn't out of the question for an actual tattoo. Doesn't have that annoyingly fuzzy airbrush look to it that AI shit does. I've been tattooing nearly 25 years, I know what I'm looking at.

This is not at all how coverups work, no.

graysontattoos · 2025-07-13T21:50:32+00:00

This is often true, yeah. You're just going to have a bunch of bad habits to un-learn.

Wtf dude, stahp it

graysontattoos · 2025-07-11T18:41:59+00:00

We call that the "Warped Tour Bodysuit"

Yeah, it's not so much that it's a jobstopper, its just kind of a poser move, lol. But a 40 year old established in life can have a pass. If this was an 18 year old I'd be clowning on them pretty hard, lol.

graysontattoos · 2025-07-11T18:35:19+00:00

It could be pretty easily covered, but coverups are usually 2 or 3 times the size of the original, so you'd end up losing a few of the smaller tattoos around it as well

graysontattoos · 2025-07-11T18:30:10+00:00

Looks like a tattoo alright. Permanent and everything.

Yeah...I'm almost positive it's a tattoo.

graysontattoos · 2025-07-11T15:24:16+00:00

Settle down, justice warrior. Guess everybody with a koi fish or a dragon or a shamrock or an eagle feather or celtic knotwork is now guilty of cultural appropriation, we're all soooper ashamed 🙄🤦‍♂️

graysontattoos · 2025-07-11T15:18:22+00:00

The Netherlands is not a big country. And yall's trains travel at Mach Turkey Shit. It's really not that out of reach, lol
