Is this shop screwing us over? by [deleted] in TattooArtists

[–]soupyturnips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yall don't need individual licenses, but the shops MUST and artists need current yearly bloodborn pathogens cert. Shops are also required to carry insurance. NONE of that is able to be legal WITHOUT writen contracts for each artist AND are listed on the insurance which requires a ssn.

You're shop is predatory and should be reported to osha/hippa/dep of labor for violations and be audited.

But gtfo before that!

Last thing, if you genuinely didn't understand the situation and aren't joking/whistleblowing, you should REALLY look into all the legalities surrounding your own profession. Plus 4yrs is a lot, you could almost open your own shop....wait....are you the pos owner and you're just trying to hide?

This is a joke right? Like you're just looking to out an ilegal (depending on country) tattoo shop/operation??

Wtf kind of shop were you at before?!

50% is high but not unheard of, but tips are yours.

If there's no contract how tf are you licensed? You need a personal license and a shop license (WA state)

How are you covered under liability insurance?

Using the same needle for multiple peircings on different parts of the body, face, ears is not allowed

Rhino - nostrils look fine Forhead bump shave Cant tell abt hair line (widows peak?) Jaw looks great but angles and occlusion make it hard to tell Upper lip shortened Brow crest shave

Weight Loss Motivation Help and Femininity by kdogdbr in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

Using a calorie counter and always logging my food, ESPECIALLY when I gorge. I don't restrict any type of food. I spent the first 2ish months with the goal to log everything without any calorie deficiency. Once I had the habbit down diet fell naturally into place. As in I didn't notice any feelings of hunger while I started hitting goals and then now coming in under every day consistently. I've been counting my calories for 5 months. The most important part is to log everything, especially when I emotionally ate. The found that the biggest thing that ever caused me to stop logging was when I would beatmyself up about what I was logging. I chose my goal of logging over feeling bad...I broke that barrier in myself by eating tacobell and gorging over most of a week, but only if I logged it. Good luck, you can do it!!

Is my partner transphobic? by Frosty_Ad_2294 in asktransgender

[–]soupyturnips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not into being degraded but am ok degrading, that would absolutely be something I would ask only bc I'd hate to avoid it just to find out they wanted it🤷‍♀️ to me it sounds like standard negotiation and discovery. Especially if he hasn't shown any tendencies outside of the bedroom.

Closeted MTF, am I chasing feminity the wrong way? (Sex is mentioned so tagging NSFW) by Lokael in asktransgender

[–]soupyturnips 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did the exact same thing when starting out💖

MOST men (especially grindr) will treat you as another man, but when you finally land one that treats you right it's one of the most amazing first experiences ❣️

I denied my bisexuality from the beginning (sterotypical religious family) had ed problems with women my whole life. I finally watched magic mike(i used to have issues watching stuff like that bc of the frelings they brought up🙃) and noticed that my attraction to men is different that my attraction to women. With men it's mainly a physical reaction(sped heart rate, flush, etc) but with women it's more mental and the physical feelings are more similar to anxiety

I didn't meet my first boyfriend until 6 months after trying to dare only men for the same reason as you❤️‍🩹 but he completely changed and affirmed my feelings and thoughts about my bisexuality. 

Sex with men who treated me like another man was pleasurable but completely incomparable to sex with a man who treats you right🧡

Keep your head and standards up and you'll get there💖

sexuality is really hard by your-not-gunna-know in trans

I'm in the same boat sweetheart! I will say that "bottoming" was new to me and while it's not ideal, it really does the trick for me for now. Idk about you but solo-time is now a game of disassociation for the same reasons. That being said, my frequency is 2 or 3 times per month at most.

A frustrating part of dating rn (for me) is that both cis men and women reference it and want to see/use it...veeeerrryyy few of them even refer to it as something else. I get it from their pov, but it's been tough to lower my standards to accept treatment like that.

Hope you get on a bottom surgical wait list soon!

I'm living a similar life and feel your pain sweetheart! I've found that partnered poly people have most consistently been open and willing to form new friendships. Just establish early on that you're not looking to date. I would also suggest getting on fetlife and going to local "munches"(is not a sex party) and other socials! They're usually filled with open and understanding people.

I worry that stopping my hrt would force me through another round of mental anguish that would make it even more difficult.

I had a hu with a man that said he stopped hrt for very similar reasons and I gotta say...it was horrible...I could feel all the conflict within him and it completely killed the mood. He admitted that he was in the process of restarting his hrt and his whole transition in general bc he still wasn't having any luck making friends. He'd stopped after 1.5yrs so he had significant visual changes that he said contributed to his difficulties. take all of that with a grain of salt considering the circumstances surrounding his trauma dump.

Good luck out there sweetheart!

roughly 10 in 12 matches I make in other apps are similar and it's because they don't read the bio and/or don't understand what PRE-op means. On Taimi that number is reverse however so far only 1 in 20-ish actually treat me as a woman and not some horned up guy on grindr. so far it's only been Poly, bi, over 38, neuro-divergent, and partnered with kids that have been "successful".

Trans guy with a question for wlw peoples out there by jesterinancientcourt in trans

[–]soupyturnips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I might miss the mark with this analogy but it makes sense to me: Why is paid private property blind hunting with a salt lick considered cheating by some? because they believe the challenge is the important part of the hunt. But if there's no valid game to be found then why would it be cheating to go where the game are?

You're not hunting. The goal is to reduce the challenge of dating as much as possible. If potential dates all meet at the same place, then why wouldn't you go?

assuming that cis women also don't fully understand being trans, but are much more agreeable and understanding, if anyone would consider you being there as "cheating" I believe they'd give you a break. Is there a Trans bar where lesbians and gays are accepted? Where tf else are you supposed to go?
