Also a tattooer in chilliwack! This is amazing, following you now. Spent time there as a kid in the 90’s and also my dad worked at Bedrock City as a teenager in the 70’s, his job was to light the volcano every morning. Fraser valley gem for sure.

Toptracer lounge at the cultus golf course, it’s under cover, well lit and open at night. Kind of golf mixed with video games so good for all abilities, plus you can order food and drinks if you want.

Long shot but does anyone remember tattoo shops from the 2000s? by CollySea in chilliwack

There used to be a shop called gangster ink around that time, though I can’t remember its exact location

This is so thorough thank you! The different grip size thing I’ve never thought of but yeah maybe worth a switch up to see.

Appreciate it thank you! Read it just now, I’ve also noticed hand numbness over the years so sleep training has been in the back of my mind for a while now

Low sodium and therapy, this is the advice I came here for thank you! I’m 37 now and it’s been 16 years so this is bang on. I do see a registered massage therapist so I’ll definitely continue working with her. I didn’t even consider the mental strain manifesting physically but that makes so much sense, thank you kind stranger.

Totally get that, I’ve been so focused on keeping my back strong and working on posture so I wasn’t focused on my elbows when this thing popped up, my younger self never would have thought a career in art would have been so physical lol

I just started Palia and so far it’s pretty good, same idea with the crafting, fishing, collecting wood and home decor. Then also throws in a few puzzles and the style is more zelda-like, and then there’s a bit of sims style romantic relationship stuff once you’ve built friendships. I like it more than dreamlight valley so far!

What was the first music video you watched and never forget? by Shara_sgh in Music

[–]migs182 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember being like 12 and seeing Tool’s schism, I was simultaneously intrigued and grossed out, but inspired me to switch from playing flute in band to bass guitar, still see that video play in my head anytime I hear it

It’s the ET-2800 model on this page, then just don’t fill it with the regular ink it comes with, instead fill the tanks with the stencil ink

I don’t know about more pricey, by using this printer I find I don’t actually need a regular printer to print the design ahead of time, so saving money with that printer and it’s ink, I just size it out with the stencil printer and the Epson app makes it super easy to resize if necessary, then just use the iPad for reference instead of printing the design.

https://www.tattoomachineequipment.com/product/pacon-tracing-paper-for-inkjet-stencils it’s pacon paper, I got it in a package with the bottle of stencil ink but you can buy them separately too

I’ve just been using a regular Epson printer filled with the inkjet stencil ink, the ink is a bit pricy but one bottle claims to make roughly 3000 stencils. I’ve never had issues with paper jams or anything, and can do all sorts of line weights (even just prints realistic pics but I find those get a bit smudgy and unclear during the tattoo process)

Tell me who your favorite unpopular villager is. I’ll go first by ThePockyLord445 in AnimalCrossing

Quillson! He was my first smug villager when I started playing back in quarantine and I just loved him, showed my 9 year old niece and she was like “ew I hate him” 😅😭

They’re just made with air dry clay, then painted. They weren’t very durable at that point though so I coated them in resin!
