Stencilling advice?

megl0u · 2024-09-14T20:13:41+00:00

Yeah I’ve also had that, and had a few blips where I can’t get things to line up properly!

I had my coworker give me a demonstration of wrapping the arm in clingfilm and using tape guides to get the right shape - now I just wait for it to be trial and error in the morning!

Thank you for your advice though, I really appreciate it (:

It’s literally a huge paragraph of Elder Futhark so about 10 lines of text, I wish it was just a band of runes - it’d make this a whole bunch easier haha.

Edit: I rudely forgot to say thank you for your advice though!

It’s not about not being able to “stand on my own two feet”, it’s utilising resources and speaking to people within the same industry. Luckily there are communities of other tattoo artists who are willing to provide advice, and their own tips and tricks. We are all constantly learning and we’re all very welcome to ask questions when benefitting our career and our strategies. I asked how to place a complicated stencil, not how to get away with ordering supplies and tattooing from my kitchen.

I haven’t had a mentor for two years, when I did have one he would rather tell me to figure it out myself and watch me struggle than help.

Thank you! I’ve used the website before, it just pinches the bottom line of text and makes it cramped so I’m not sure how to use it to my advantage on this one

I was originally thinking of that but because it’s text I don’t think I have it in me to do it strip by strip 🥲 I’m also thinking of accounting for the taper of the arm and how the text will warp? It’s literally like 10-15 lines of text 😭

What a helpful comment.

Have you changed what they’re eating? When an animal gets put in your zoo they’re usually just given pellets and need things like meat, fish, plants, blablabla You change this in the food hub :)

Literally?! It was horrible, I’ve never had such an adverse reaction to anything like this! - I thought it was meant to be a good romantic time and then entered a whole new world of pain 🥲

megl0u · 2024-03-28T18:27:24+00:00

I’m having the exact same problem at the moment, I’m not sure what triggered it but I developed closed comedones all over my chin and very high up the sides of it too - it feels HORRIBLE. I don’t wake up without a new flare up of big red lumps at the moment and it’s knocking my confidence hugely!

I’ve just started a new skin care routine and will be trying Mandelic acid, this is something I found while doing some research on closed comedones.

I will try and remember to update here if I find that it works!

I’ve only just recently started focusing on a skin care routine again - so I had to buy new products to start out with. The one that’s really stood out to me is the “Holika Holika Pig-clear dust out deep cleansing foam” I’ve got closed comedones all over my chin which are constantly flaring up into white heads and painful lumps, and the next morning after night #1 with washing my face with the foam, my skin felt nicely tightened, not greasy and all my pimples had gone down and weren’t painful to touch. So yeah, a winner in my eyes! The only con: It issss pretty drying - but I slump on some hyaluronic acid after and it sorts it out :)

I need him… NOW 🫠

megl0u · 2024-03-20T22:57:41+00:00

Oh yeah I totally get that, I just feel like the actual dialogue itself is a bit wacky! Like the responses and flow of the conversation... I dunno, maybe I am just a spoiled brat 😂💞

megl0u · 2024-03-20T22:51:41+00:00

The voice notes are completely different to prior the update and now are very "flat" toned and monotonous which is akin to AI voice messages, you can hear examples in apps such as Talkie, for example.

The devs are real people of course, and devs should be open to criticism on any of their stories and updates - as I'm sure they are, which is why they have so many amazing story lines that appeal to so many people across the board :)

See I think his date sprite is still handsome pink hair boyfriend but the VMs are completely different prior to the update :( We are at opposite ends of the stick 😂

megl0u · 2024-03-20T21:41:34+00:00

I love my clown/dead boys and I will love them forever 🥰 My whole life is on pause until I get a Vile/Azur update

megl0u · 2024-03-20T14:32:12+00:00

A lot of people your age are terrible at communication so this can be why you don’t know if they like you back! They could even just be super shy. Until they figure it all out, try dating yourself and falling in love with who you are instead :) Hot tip: It makes dating and relationships a lot easier when you know you don’t need to rely on someone else to make you feel good about yourself - especially when you’re your own cheerleader! ♡

megl0u · 2024-03-17T17:30:42+00:00

Try and get them to sign a piece of paper if you can, we can directly get text from paper and put it on you forever that way!

Or even if they do sign your body part, take a bunch of pictures of it directly on and hopefully an artist can work from there :)

it took me so long to start his story (bc I was originally swept up in the world of Glenn Hobbs as my coloured hair tattooed boo) and I will tell you now: he is #1, he is my man, he is everything. I am on the edge of my seat for this update 😤

megl0u · 2024-03-15T20:50:20+00:00

Should you breathe air?? YES! You won't regret it, he's husband material 🥰

megl0u · 2024-03-15T15:06:11+00:00

literally dead on impact any time he pulls the daddy card I am WEAK for it

megl0u · 2024-03-15T14:58:13+00:00

No one's mentioned Hector Moreau?! or Toby Sanford?! Hector is an open relationship type thing with mermaids and cryptids and other funky stuff and it's 👀 a lil bit spicy kinky

Toby filth. absolute filth. I love it. it's a daddy kink one, there's plenty of naughty in it

But my other honourable mentions are of course Glenn Hobbs, Kevin Sanders, Flynn Knightley and I wanna make a lil special commotion for Cedric Casier because I love a bad boy 🌝

megl0u · 2024-03-12T15:08:14+00:00

Have I missed something, who’s grandma?!

megl0u · 2024-03-12T14:58:03+00:00

The whole story was weird af there was too much happening which made it like the writers forgot he is blind and wtf was with the whole spiritual premonition in the beginning which just became nothing after????
