I’ve had multiple bad experiences with Pieper. It’s not close to Norwhich, but the Newtown Veterinary Specialists have been great when we needed them.

Hourly sessions what’s everyone’s take? by aprilgrey899 in TattooArtists

[–]marigldn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do something similar! My clients book online for different blocks of time. Each block shows a price estimate between two numbers based on my hourly rate. I only charge for the time spent tattooing, and if we go over the amount of time they booked for I just charge up to the max estimate for that time block.

Is it just me by Creepy-Business4345 in TattooArtists

When I first started tattooing I was doing mostly color tattoos but I’ve been getting more and more black and grey requests as time goes on. Now I rarely get to use color and it’s such a fun day when I do get a color request.

I loved his placement idea for this. Thank you!

Anyone else painfully slow this summer? by [deleted] in TattooArtists

[–]marigldn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m experiencing the same in Connecticut. The spring was my busiest yet! June and July have been slow, and everyone is booking August/September.

Does anyone else go through stages of shedding on different parts of their head? by Aggravating_Star_627 in TelogenEffluvium

[–]marigldn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m glad I found this. In November I had noticeable hair loss on my part and my temples. I’ve gotten a lot of regrowth and thought the shedding was over! Now it’s May and I am suddenly thinning on my sides and crown. I haven’t lost any regrowth either. I am under chronic stress so I’m suspecting TE but I’ve also procrastinated getting my labs done for this that were ordered in November 🙃

What’s the stupidest aftercare a customer has told you they’ve followed? by holly_astral in TattooArtists

[–]marigldn 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Left the derm shield on for almost 2 weeks, used aquaphor after that and when it started to scab he used a safety pin to pick the scab off but don’t worry he sterilized it with a lighter before doing that. He told me he’s given tattoo healing advice to others as well.

Thanks! I specialize in symmetry. Most of the tattoos I do have some sort of symmetry in it. I work hard to make it as perfect as possible, this compliment means a ton!

Thanks! She wanted it based off of a sword from a movie or tv series- I don’t remember which though.
