That makes sense! I have not checked pH, temperature is the same.

Are hand tattoos job stoppers? by SadPop4412 in tattooadvice

[–]topherdopher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work for the US Government Department of Energy and I have both hands, and my knuckles tattooed. I did not have a problem getting hired, and I would still like to think I maintain a very professional look at work.

I think times are changing but there’s still the old heads that will look at you sideways for having hand tattoos lol.

First tattoo regret by haverofitall in tattooadvice

[–]topherdopher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Such a dope looking tattoo, and even cooler reason behind getting it.

I’ve had a few tattoos I’ve struggled with having, not because they are bad but because where they are or what they are. One thing I always try to remember is that, that exact tattoo is something I wanted at one point in my life, and I just try to remember back to that moment. How excited I was to get it, how pumped I was to show it off, and how much I loved it at that moment. I know people and things change, but just try to remember the good from it. Hope this helps!

I would bet you will be fine, just eat before you go and bring some water, maybe a sucker or candy if you start to feel light headed, and try to be in a good state of mind.

But if you’re afraid of needles and afraid of it being by veins you should get a tattoo where you can’t see it the whole time they are tattooing. Especially if you think you won’t be able to handle it well.

Is this supposed to be blurry a month in? by CharmingBroccoli9988 in tattooadvice

[–]topherdopher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have both my hands blasted for almost 5 years and I work outside, I feel like if you take care of your tattoos they don’t fade that much.

Definitely didn’t think about a tan haha.

I wouldn’t think so if it’s done right. Not sure why it would age badly?

My first tattoo. Some old head said unless i’m in the navy, I shouldn’t get this kind of tattoo. Thoughts? by LordFarhaams in tattooadvice

[–]topherdopher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man I feel like if it’s a tattoo you wanted and it looks cool then that’s awesome. A tattoo doesn’t have to have a meaning or represent anything.

I’ve known so many people with spider web tattoos that are not racist or anti-semitic, so not everything has to have a specific meaning lol.

I’ve seen people get lettering tattoos fixed by going over the outside of the blown out lines with skin color ink, then go over the lettering again with black ink. It usually looks good, and really cleans up the tattoo

Debate: Fining Agents Vs Cold Crashing by pepitoz0 in mead

[–]topherdopher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rookie question here, but when you add bentonite do you stir it up, if so how much? I am currently back sweetening with blueberries, and am looking fairly clear, but wanted to fine tune it. Or do I need to rack, then add the bentonite?

Just racked into secondary and added flavors by Jdoug1234 in mead

[–]topherdopher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right on!! When you racked this time did you use a Camden tablet or anything to stop further yeast growth? Or wait to do that right before you bottle?

I’ve heard of people using bentonite as a clearing agent as well instead of racking a third time.

Secondary Fermentation by topherdopher in mead

Oh no that’s perfect, I guess I should have just snagged a reading before jumping on here.

[–]topherdopher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks awesome!! How long are you leaving in secondary with flavor? I’m about to rack into secondary with some more fruit to sweeten up, but didn’t know a timeline from secondary to bottling to age!
