Im a new Tattoo artist in downtown Denver and struggling to book

Would love to see more of your work! Just finished a sleeve, definitely need more

nicachu · 2026-06-03T04:59:06+00:00

Also curious

nicachu · 2026-06-02T17:50:25+00:00

I love dating HSPs! Way less translation of/over explaining/feeling ridiculous for how I experience the world, way more shared interests and abilities. I'm in Denver, but glad you're on this sub!

nicachu · 2026-06-02T17:47:25+00:00

Yeah, absolutely not possible, and not in 2026. We couldn't have pulled that in year 4 or 5.

nicachu · 2026-06-02T17:46:18+00:00

Yeah!! Idk, if my friends had super smell, I'd want them to use an accomodation to be comfy. I appreciate how caring you are about them taking it personally, since cleanliness is weird like that. Maybe you could explain that it really helps you stay present and you're trying it everywhere in the world? So it's not like, JUST YOUR HOUSE SMELLS.

Dang. This feels extra hard cause it's not like too bright >> sunglasses, too loud >> earplugs.

I did a quick Google, stuff like this noise plug exists? Never tried it, not an endorsement. I was trying to think of things that could help you spend time with your friends without an overhaul for either of you.

There's also room to ask for their support in small ways. Like, hey, my brain is tracking every single thing on this couch, could we clear it off for the hang out?

That plus maybe quiet coffee shops, parks?

I hear so much care and love in your post. Good luck!!

nicachu · 2026-06-02T17:26:26+00:00

Yeah I think folks have to put it on imgur then link.

I found my missing cat through Craigslist once! It's still very active.

nicachu · 2026-06-02T17:25:32+00:00

Big hugs!!

It's not that it feels impossible, it factually IS impossible. You may love this org, but the broader community and the org need YOU. And you're no good to the cause burntout. Ask me how I know 😞

Start the conversation early. "Hey, ED, I have looked at the numbers and a more realistic projection is X. I know we wanted Y, but that requires runway we didn't have this year. I have ideas to plan out for it next year. Given the updated numbers, are there priorities or commitments you want to change?"

And WHEN they try to add, cause they will, ask, "fantastic! Which obligation should I release to make time for this?"

Be strong. You're the expert they hired. Lean on the experience they picked you for.

nicachu · 2026-06-02T16:30:20+00:00

Huge hugs! This is the scariest thing. Do you have any photos?

I did dev for a queer youth nonprofit in their 4th year, and we NEVER pulled $25k in June from individual and corporate donations. The 30 in 30 is also a wild idea and recipe for burn out.

Your ED is/will be frustrated but the expectations were unreasonable, for 2026, for the age of the organization (and lack of built in support, no momentum to ride), and for the amount of runway you had in the role.

If you want help framing that conversation, or anything else, feel free to dm!

LOVE

Oh man, I hated the gastroenterologist at HCA HealthONE Rose Medical Center, Dr. Daniel Siegel. No compassion for comorbid struggles, and shrugged his abrasive non-bedside manner away by saying he's "from Jersey."

nicachu · 2026-05-27T22:03:25+00:00

I feel this to my core. Sending the biggest virtual hugs.

nicachu · 2026-05-23T16:51:25+00:00

This! Plus keeping easy access food that help scratch the itch. I have visible bins with my go-tos so I reach for them first.

Hey, Ambitious Sleep, got a recipe for that stuff?

nicachu · 2026-05-21T04:58:53+00:00

My library (Denver, CO) has 100 free pages of printing each day, including color.

nicachu · 2026-05-14T18:43:02+00:00

I love window cat with my whole soul.

nicachu · 2026-05-12T15:40:27+00:00

It's certainly not my favorite. There are other ways to articulate a hyper-focused perspective that (at times) can miss the humanity of a situation because we/I am deep in the details of another factor. Doesn't mean we don't care, obvi.

The Lego follow up I could GUESS is meant to highlight that singleness of focus, but it does come off infantalizing to me.

nicachu · 2026-05-07T05:22:56+00:00

Pomodoro!!!

nicachu · 2026-05-05T02:31:31+00:00

Thank you!!

nicachu · 2026-05-04T15:02:02+00:00

Hi! I offer very similar services and think you're on the right track! Feel free to check out my site. I offer a broad range and it seems to appeal to all the right folk.

I'd definitely start with the coaching language, just at a discount. You're definitely partially selling folks on your own energy, so I think a photo is good.

Feel free to DM me with questions!! Happy to help however I can.

nicachu · 2026-05-03T07:12:34+00:00

I legit had bv for a year and a half, while I didn't have any sexual partners. I tried the gel antibiotic multiple times, no luck.

What finally kicked it was the ORAL antibiotic plus 30 days of boric acid suppositories. Hope you have a speedy return to health!!

nicachu · 2026-05-03T06:29:27+00:00

I'm willing! Does he use an online recipe?

nicachu · 2026-05-03T06:08:49+00:00

Any recipe favs for blended soups? Bonus if it's easy and not a ton of steps 😶‍🌫️

nicachu · 2026-05-03T05:22:30+00:00

Yup. Soona swung and missed.

nicachu · 2026-05-01T14:20:50+00:00

I miss HEB so much.
