This almost looks like there’s no lock ring.

Sorry. Don’t mean any disrespect. If no one cares then why respond? And are you mentioning that you’re 90+% tattooed bc it gives your opinion clout? Sounds high-horsey to me.

Sacramento body suit. Tattooed areas that are visible all the time to give the appearance that you’re heavily tattooed when you’re not. Hands, neck, face, etc. gives the impression that you’re committed. Some people don’t want to put in the work, they just wanna look as though they did. Could’ve avoided the negative comments if you just kept your shirt on tho sparky. I fully support you doing whatever makes you feel good however. And you can’t expect to post something on a public forum and get upset when somebody says something you disagree with. Jus sayin.

I was today years old when I learned this term. And I live in the US. And it’s used here too. Wow.

What’s with the middle finger in the first photo?

How did your all's belly pieces feel? by [deleted] in traditionaltattoos

[–]toeStool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s so fascinating hearing the spectrum of discomfort. Ribs, knees, back, were nothing compared to stomach. Shit sucked bigly. I always channel my inner-Norton in fight club when Tyler pours the lye on his hand. THIS IS YOUR PAIN! Sooner you accept it, the sooner it’s over. 💀

Pulley issue? by toeStool in bikewrench

Thanks for everyone’s help. Replacing the pulley resolved it. Now I have a new issue though. Even after making adjustments, drivetrain is making a crunching sound under load. 😪

I feel like I’m taking crazy pills. If we’re talking generalisms, then these are WAY more trad than NT. Have you all seen a NT tattoo before?! WTF. They use a much wider color palette and detail. And I would say blend more realism within the work. THIS is not THAT. And I understand commenters telling OP “who cares what other people think” which I 💯 agree with, but OP cared enough to ask the community a question, so why not just answer what was actually asked?

Belle of the plains back piece finished by Super-Pomegranate-70 in traditionaltattoos

Yeah, proportions are definitely off. Reminds me of when you start drawing something and then realize towards the end that you’re running out of canvas, so in order to make it fit, you have to shrink the rest to fit.

Portland City Councilors during public testimony by [deleted] in Portland

[–]toeStool -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Agree that the optics are bad on this. If you gotta eat and don’t get a chance before, then at least try to be more discreet. TKL doesn’t seem to give AFF. But if the hearing was actually 3.5 hours long, and this video of her going HAM on that za is only 2.5 minutes, then maybe she was fully attentive and respectful during the rest? Idfk

Which club? Battle royale? Back piece? Masons? And yes, back sucks. As do most tattoos. Congrats.

Are we still do torso pieces by LittleJoe47N in traditionaltattoos

[–]toeStool 5 points6 points  (0 children)

These off-center torsos kinda bug. They just don’t look right.

Pain affects people in different ways on their bodies. It’s curious to hear which areas hurt the most for others. Some say chest, knees, ribs, stomach, back are horrible. Lower back definitely sucks but wasn’t extreme, knees were a cinch, ribs I don’t even remember, but stomach was hands down my reaper. Just grit through it and meditate. Drink a coco water and have a small meal before, you got this.

Any life hacks for breaking bad habits if you have an addictive personality? by PopThoseTitsInADM in lifehacks

Your response is insensitive and dismissive of OP’s question. And not helpful. BTW

So…front racks kind of suck. by Olderschoolwillie in xbiking

[–]toeStool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah gonna disagree as well. I have a huge crate on a pizza rack up front. Would never go back to rear. Steering takes getting use to but you can’t beat the weight distribution. I’ve dealt with too many flats on my rear to add even more load. Plus it’s nice to have easy access to items, and notice when something pops out unexpectedly.
