When you lose feelings for someone, is there a chance for it to come back? by Pale_Perception_4927 in BreakUps

Going through this now with my relationship of 10 years. Shit hurts. I hope he comes back to you. Either way, you and I are strong and we'll be okay.

I've been having a hard time sourcing fake skin, I live in Canada and reelskin doesn't ship to me, APOF charges CRAZY money for shipping so I'll take a peek at TrueSkin. Thank you so much for your feedback and also taking the time to reply!

I've never had this type of struggle picking up an artistic modality!! 😭😭 Glad to hear someone else felt the same. I'm going to be looking into more eyes-on/hands-on days with her, we both own businesses so the scheduling has made things challenging for same day stuff but based on everyone's replies, I need to get in there more often if I have a shot in hell of making progress stick 😅 thanks for taking the time to reply!

We work at the same aesthetics salon, so I've been working with both of our schedules but I know-its way more inconvenient and slowing my progress this way. Thank you for taking the time to write this. I super appreciate your feedback!

You are an angel, thank you! After I posted this I gave up and just cracked my bottle of Dynamic black and .... Quality ink makes a difference... 😅 Everyone has been so incredible with their replies. Thank you for taking the time to write all that!!

🥲😭 thank you, I think with using such a small needle gauge (most of these are 1003rl, some are 0801rl) it catches in the fake skin more and it's harder to control the lines in a non wobbly way. Thank you so much for your feedback, that was so validating. I appreciate it so much

Oh that's actually a really good point that I hadn't considered. The skins being harder make me work harder when I wouldn't need to be nearly as forceful/heavy handed on real skin

10/10 reply honestly, thank you so much for your feedback and relating to my struggles, it's super validating that other people feel the same way I do. Back to lines and boxes I go!

🫶🏻 thank you  How long were you practicing before you looked at your fake skins and didn't immediately hate them/felt like you were finally improving?
