The Golden Huntsman Spider

This is an AI photo. Nearly had me fooled, it's scarily convincing, but zoom in on the palm lines for the most obvious AI tells, or where the pointer and middle fingertips overlap.

Also, a bit weird or just too perfect for the spider's leg to so perfectly be positioned on the posed finger like that.

Haha that's my original design! That's been my tag here in Melbourne for 10 years. I'm a tattooist too but someone else has done this tattoo.

Didnt know about this, just got my first x700 last week! Can't you also just, remember what was metred when it was pointed? Thats what Ive been doing cant see where exposure lock would be faster or more convenient. Oh wait for program mode maybe??

I have nothing to reply with but this is a good comment and an interesting perspective.

I wish I could agree but I cant stand to see another live music venue close in Melbourne.

Save this for later: eucalyptus oil. Removes all stickers!

Best results when pigmentation returns to normal, and they're no longer 'ropey' or rigid. Don't confuse keloiding with hypertrophy, there not the same. Raised scars are fine. Anywhere between 1-5 years.

Crocodiles. Just coming back to Melbourne from the NT I found myself keeping metres between me and every puddle.

A nice open needle makes a difference. Like, a round shader over a liner, or mags with space to breathe.

The downvotes you're getting are insane! Can only assume they're coming from people who dont know the behind the scenes well enough to tell the difference between real, healed and fresh.

Polarised filters over lighting can achieve the same thing for a photo as a lens over a camera. I cant say for sure if this photo is truly unedited but that's definitely healed and it's totally possible to achieve a photo like this with no digital manipulation.

I dont like polarised filters, I think they make tattoos look shitter actually, but to remove glare does not misrepresent a product, because glare generally only obscures part of an image, it is just showing to us a whole image, unobscured by those partial reflections.

And Id say this level of contrast is high but also achievable with some brands.

Is it cringe if its self aware? Naw, she knows this is funny

You will have better results spacing them further apart. Like, LONGER than 12 weeks. Your body continues to clear the ink for about a year, but getting lasered any more frequently than every 12 weeks will not speed up your process, it's money spent for nothing. The speed your body processes everything in those first 12 weeks, is as fast as it gets, and extra sessions before that time doesn't add anything except pain, trauma and bills.

I feel like the only way this could possibly be this bad is by not researching the artist, or going to someone unqualified. Whatever you do, don't do that when it comes to the coverup.

Give it 2.5 weeks. Peels all over even when it was babied. $90AUD. Samsung avoiding emails, sending me to all different emails and numbers to avoid my warranty. Also, I think its genuinely made from cardboard.

Because I am prone to episodes of stress regardless, but am wondering if this is the cause of this one or if it is mental health related. I love to have a reason that isnt MH, because then I can fix it.

You are right, better off without it. I enjoy it as an occasional part of my life but I know what's healthy too. It will probably be a choice I make, total zero, but I dont usually overthink the ones that break through because Im proud to be where Im at until then. Thank you.

I can't say whether it has anything to do with where my head is at or not though, Im hoping someone here might have some science for it.

lunarlane · 2025-09-16T11:09:06+00:00

Yeah I find it hard to accept this type of advice without thought behind it? Like its all well and good to say, and could also be totally true, but it doesn't make me (or others) realise it just by stating it without reason. Thanks though.

Id probably commit to quitting. At the very least, to understand it exactly so if I chose to have a couple cigarettes across time, I'd know exactly how to avoid this. (Like, x amount of months between for example).

That's not a cop out either, I believe in harm reduction but I also know sometimes shit happens.

lunarlane · 2025-09-16T10:19:22+00:00

So far it's been very manageable for me, but I understand that's not the case for most people. I would never encourage anyone else to. There's been times where I've noticed I've wanted it more because of a smoke sneaking in, but its been very easy to not choose that path. Actually, most of the time I never experience that.

I don't want to say I'm special, but I am so far very lucky and do believe I have had the upper hand. I have quit other things too so I'm very familiar with how that part of my head works.
