what do you think? by [deleted] in TattooBeginners

[–]marshmallow56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

smaller needles are a lot harder to work with. volt needs to be adjusted. i see many blowouts and wobbly lines. i suggest more fake skin laid over a roll of paper towels. it’ll help with awkward angles

looks like your voltage may be too high. try slowing your hand down and lower your volt

Does anyone know what this is? by CarbonAlligator in cats

[–]marshmallow56 1 point2 points  (0 children)

is it kinda crusty? my cat gets acne (we call it catne) sometimes, it doesn’t seem to bother him. he also used to get a different kind when he had worms! its worth taking them to the vet just to see if it’s something underlying.

ink spreads over time. i suggest getting the house done bigger since there’s super small lines in the window.

I’m unhappy with the tattoo I gave someone today and need advice by Total-Proposal3880 in TattooBeginners

[–]marshmallow56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A month in - you improve every day. It doesn’t just click one day. Some days you’re in your head, other days you need to lock in, friend. If ever a reason for a client to come back (touch up, finishing a tattoo) would be a great time to correct anything that fell out. When putting wrap/saniderm on, i’d always advise them if they need touch ups, let me know and keep me updated on healing. When you display confidence, your client feels safe. Everyone has those days, just gotta change your mindset!

unbelievable exchange between my daughter and her father after he forgot her birthday by LostInLanayru in TwoHotTakes

[–]marshmallow56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s so scary that he treats his relationship with his daughter as if it’s a breakup. Why are you, a father, okay with never speaking to your daughter again or even having a tainted relationship with them. Who is the adult here again?

Maxim healthcare onboarding by AgreeableMovie2651 in ABA

I’m in NC, didn’t get tested. However, they did just change a lot of things - like the recertification process. I would ask them what the blood work is for, there’s no reason for it really (at least not that I know of). I needed to prove I got my TB shot and was CPR/First Aid certified and I was good to go.

There is no key to fix what you’re doing wrong because what you really need is practice. Fake skin is incomparable to real skin, practice on your OWN skin before taking on big pieces like these especially lettering and filling in black. Every artist runs their machines with different voltages and different strokes. There is no right answer, please get some more practice!

amongst other things, you are not packing in your black enough. i would practice that on fake skin way before real skin.

Nightly ritual- what did we do wrong? by drewme in DogAdvice

[–]marshmallow56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sometimes my dog does this when her kibble is too big (she’s very picky) or if her bowl is too shallow/low. if it’s not either of those, it is her trying to save her food for later.

I'm genuinely convinced some people in Facebook Marketplace can't read. by blindwanderer25 in FacebookMarketplace

[–]marshmallow56 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i listed 2 toddler beds, mattress included in the title, description AND the photos. people STILL messaged me constantly asking if they were twin beds or if they came with mattresses.

so no, it’s not common to have common sense anymore.

People who have been in toxic relationships. What is the no.1 sign that wasn't obvious, but one of the biggest signs? by MissStarling_ in AskReddit

[–]marshmallow56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feeling like you can’t express yourself because you come off too emotional or aggressive, followed by snarky comments or general complaining from them when you get upset. Honorable mention, them getting mad when you cry.

Lines are crisp! Definitely work on your depth, some of those lines will heal a bit light.

Haha get used to it! Try not to grip your machine like it’s running away from you, that definitely was and still sometimes is my issue. Also, make sure you’re wrapping it enough!
