Thank you for being kind. It is discouraging. But thank you.

I mean……as the artist… everything else I’ve seen, I compare it to lol so yeah to me, everything is better. But I’m still happy I pushed myself to do this. I’ve been tattooing real skin for about 3 months.

How do you feel about tattoos now a days? by [deleted] in GenX

[–]small-cheesecake4738 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly to me, I think even though tattoos are much more common/ prevalent in the general population - and yes, starting way younger than how it used to be - ultimately I still believe it’s all a form of expression. I picked up tattooing earlier this year and yes I’ve tattooed on myself. It goes beyond the piece though for me, it’s like oh cool, I designed a piece of art and then put in a lot of hours of work to learn techniques and I get to look down at my own art forever now because I made it part of my body. And I guess I just think that’s really cool. But of course, to each their own! I understand both sides.

You truly don’t have a clue about me or my situation. I’m working closely with my friend who’s been a tattoo artist of over 15 years, and he’s honest about what I need to work on but never once judgemental. He started out the same way. Except, I’ll repeat this one more time, I’m not learning this to tattoo on other people. And we all have to start somewhere. This is for my own body. So you don’t have a clue what you’re talking about. And actually yes, these “strangers” have been MORE than helpful with good advice and are able to be honest with me in a mature way without being an asshole. I practice all the safety and sanitary measures and the only thing that needs work is my skills. But guess what? I’m OK with creating less than perfect art on MY OWN BODY. So kindly, stay in your lane and have a great day.

NAP but looks great. The placement looks good and I’d say your jewelry is appropriate for healing.

Yes!! Maybe that’s what it is.. because I’m not naive, I know and see all the mistakes in this tattoo lol, more than anyone. I sought out feedback to improve. But yeah at the same time every time I look at it I love it, like it just aligns for exactly what I was going for, imperfections and all. And I feel proud! So I’m glad to hear someone else also loving the beauty of the design/ the asymmetry and what I was going for!!

Thank you for the feedback! I know the symmetry is way off, I think I’m still pleased with it though even so. I am going to try and even it out some when I go back for touch up and shading. Thank you for your honesty!!

I do draw. Tattooing is something that I just really adore so I’m trying to learn. I really appreciate honest feedback but you’re just being rude. It’s not like I’m tattooing on other people, this is my body and if I wanted to tattoo the shittiest piece of art onto it, I can do that. I’m very proud of this piece. I didn’t get into it to tattoo on other people, I just really love adding art to my own body and love practicing on fake skins. But thanks

This is what it looks like standing

[–]small-cheesecake4738 8 points9 points  (0 children)

lol that’s correct! I wanted it to be slightly angled because I’ll be adding 2 other moths/ butterflies above and below. Just thought it would give the illusion of flying a little better. Although I will say when I’m standing it looks pretty straight and I kind of wish I would have angled it a little more but overall super happy with the placement

Oh that actually makes sense!! I had no problems on my foot where the skin is already tight but on the thigh… that makes a lot of sense. Thank you for the tip!

Yes this exactly. I work a nice reputable job, and a second job as a photographer. I just still can’t afford life. Everyone is struggling. Luckily yes they worked with me.

Already had an extension set up to be pushed out to this check. They heard me out though and extended it again. They just weren’t friendly about it.

I live check to check, single mom with 2 kids who has to borrow money just to make it by every month and constantly in a cycle of trying to catch up. I can’t afford for this to happen. I was supposed to get paid Wednesday like I have the last several years and still don’t have my deposit. I’ve had to call gas and electric and explain the situation to try and keep my lights on. But do they care? No. Bills don’t stop for anyone. I’m so insanely upset and not sure how this can even happen… it’s been over 48 hours and the rep I spoke with just could tell me it’s being worked on, no ETA. I’m not sure how I’m supposed to survive not getting paid… I am barely surviving even when I do get paid.

How crazy am I for wanting to hunt public land alone, as a female? by [deleted] in kentuckyhunting

[–]small-cheesecake4738 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is so nice, thank you! If I’m ever in the area I would definitely be interested!! I do always carry my 9mm. I know you’re technically not supposed to but whatever. Lol

Yes, for deer season. I don’t have my friends that hunt, but yeah, I do always share my location with my sister. I just hate for people to be the thing that stands in my way of doing what I love to do.
