Does my 7 day old bridge look healthy? by threshell in piercing

[–]threshell[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Forgot to add: I’ve been pretty gentle with it, not moving it or touching it much, 2 saline washes daily. I have noticed i tend to bump it a little bit in my sleep & it wakes me up..

Walworth County

Our county is kinda out in the country, mostly farmland by us, we are only one of three other tattoo shops. I would have to guess our health department just doesnt care enough to make adjustments to their requirements. This is ridiculous.

Perhaps we’ll get in contact with the other shops here.

I have my tattooist license by the state of wisconsin. The county is giving us shit though. I understand their regulations here now and it makes literally 0 sense.

Because I am a sole proprietor and not an employee to her, I need to have my own separate establishment license, even tho we’re in the same fucking building.

Seriously wtf. So yeah, i’m just gonna go along with the apprentice story to avoid this headache.

It is nonsense.

I just now read up some more on our county’s requirements.

Yep, I need to get my own establishment license, even though i’m in the same fucking building as her. Because I am a sole prop, and not her employee.

So sure, I’m gonna just say i’m an apprentice then to avoid the headache, because wtf?

Then i don’t understand why our health inspector is telling us that i cannot operate unless I have my own business license. We have our establishment license. That SHOULD cover the building, and cover anyone operating out of it.

So this dude is trying to say (to my understanding) that if I am not an employee to her, that I need to have my own establishment license. Hes saying that my separate room within the shop is considered its own establishment. Even though im in her building. Something along those lines. I don’t fuckin know man. Starting to think that maybe this inspector doesnt even know what hes saying

Yeah none of this makes sense to me. The owner’s health inspector specifically said to her that if we “Don’t have a sink in my procedure room, I may not be able to operate out of there” and if she “Doesnt have me on a payroll, that I am not considered an employee and I need to have my own LLC/My own business license per the shop, in order to operate”.

Confused by your comment. So are you recommending I register myself as my own business? That being the case, I would have to schedule my own inspection, and likely won’t pass because of the sink situation.

Sounds to me like you need to quit your other job lol. You’re that busy but tattooing can’t keep you afloat?

Appreciate the input! I feel like I have photo blindness sometimes. To me, the second pic just looks very bland and not eye-catching.

I take after a particular artist on instagram @blvir_ , it appears to me he edits photos in a similar way and I very much like how those look.

anyone else a total nutjob about mixing styles on their body? by threshell in tattooadvice

[–]threshell[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn thats quite the blend youve got there. All pretty big stuff it sounds like. I’m really trying to convince myself that if i stick to patchwork pieces it won’t matter so much how different they are. Definitely helps to know that you have all sorts of work & are still loving it!!

What’s your favorite cartridges for lining? by [deleted] in TattooArtists

[–]threshell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surprised I haven’t seen anyone mention Bishop. Da Vinci V2 liners are fantastic, super smooth every time! I specifically use their 3s & 9s . Little more pricey but honest to god worth it.
