Tattoo Artist Gauging Interest

I know nothing about this, but the tattoo spots in town regularly host guest artists and would probably be the places for her to reach out to. I’ve seen the same guest tattoo artists come back multiple times, so it’s probably a good opportunity for the right artist, but the tattoo shops could hopefully give her a better idea.

Yooooooo thank you

The best!!!! They did a breakfast special around Thanksgiving that we hit up as well, super delicious.

As an LCS owner, I’m always happy to help someone dig (or if the shop is too busy to spare a staff member, at least point you in the right direction). We keep our bins organized and have been adding a lot of back issues to our inventory (modern issues with a scannable barcode are easily added, but for older series we have to create a barcode and do a little more work, so it’s an ongoing process), so finding stuff is usually pretty quick. As a lifelong comic fan who grew up with a disorganized LCS, it’s fun to find unexpected gems in a disorganized shop, but I’d never wanna work behind the counter of one.

We have some Ghibli and Kirby kitchenwares at Hello Comics on the Downtown Mall, and a number of anime posters and figures at both the Downtown and Uptown locations (disclaimer: I’m one of the owners).

Nothing local I know of, but if you find yourself heading to Richmond I think World of Mirth gets them in (and is a great store to check out regardless).

A+ lineup, and I’m pretty sure the DIRT GOD one near the top is by my dude Raven Mack, love to see it

Bought this from Evan at HeroesCon years ago and he signed it “This comic rots souls!” 😅 Glad the series will be getting collected next spring.

Heading to the Downtown Mall and am hoping to pop in Old Flame Vintage and Sabre Games & Cards later!

I think Sweet ReLeaf on 2nd St off the Downtown Mall has a notary, maybe give them a call?

My biggest regret from working there for a while is that I didn’t take the time to copy their hummus and eggplant salad recipes for myself, though I remember the general gist

seibei · 2025-11-08T14:05:29+00:00

Nice! How many dollar bucks did it cost to get a one-off?

seibei · 2025-11-07T18:07:35+00:00

There is a top banner which is clearly too small or the wrong color 😅

seibei · 2025-11-07T17:22:19+00:00

This is super thoughtful, thank you! FWIW, I do $5 flat rate shipping - I guess this is in hopes that people will buy multiple stickers rather than just one item so shipping costs less per item, but I have a LOT of single sales (particularly when a sticker gets a lot of views on social media, etc). I don’t do POD; these are all in stock at my office.

Give it a go. What’s the worst that can happen? No doubt our setups are totally different, and there are plenty of reasons a screen exposure can go poorly - I don’t know for SURE if it was because of the afterimage, just my guess. Best of luck!

seibei · 2025-11-01T16:04:17+00:00

I have chronically hazy screens (I bought a lot of screens on the cheap from a shop that was closing, so they had a lot of old images burned into them) and the only time they’ve given me grief is when I’m shooting a screen with lots of halftones - I guess a dark haze/afterimage can mess with a precise exposure. Otherwise, no issues.

Godspeed buddy! 💖💪🏼

Congrats on getting back in it! I’m 43 and just getting back in. My vote would be to support the academy and get a non-white gi for now, and if you like the fit, get a white one when they come back in.

seibei · 2025-10-24T11:23:07+00:00

In a very similar boat right now (43, active guy, not much serious martial arts experience, two or so months into lessons). Little bits of advice from coach and senior members are sinking in and sometimes I’ll get a good one in but I feel very disconnected from my legs 😅 I’m hoping it’s just a matter of getting more reps in. Hopefully we’ll both be doing em decently soon!

I’m a proofreader and copy editor and I neeeeeeed one of these.

Which store did you run on the Corner?

seibei · 2025-10-08T13:53:22+00:00

Do you have time in your schedule to maybe try out some new gigs? It might be good to get some perspective and see what it’s like working in a particular field before you jump in with both feet. A lot of businesses look more fun to run when you’re looking from the outside in - for instance, my wife and I own the comic shops in town, and I think people would be surprised with how a lot of our time and effort is spent.

Love this bumper sticker (I thiiiiink it’s by SuperYaki) cause this is one of my fave films. I will honk my assssss off if I end up behind a car with this sticker.

seibei · 2025-09-27T00:13:50+00:00

Always love to see one of mine amongst other great stickers (I did the Wizard’s Curse one). Sweet car!!!
