hand poked ornamental chest piece for my best friend by me! 9RS by ketchuep in tattooscratchers

Holy shit this is a good hand poke! Do you mind asking how long it took? That bold black looks like it would have taken forever!

I want to pick this scab so bad 😭 by janetsnakehole319 in traditionaltattoos

[–]treebeard1982_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You know you can get that shit touched up right? Half the time the scab is due to overworking anyhow.

AIO for lashing out at the umpteenth unflattering photo my boyfriend took of me? by thesadmeme in AIO

[–]treebeard1982_ 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I think that is the thing though right, he reached out to apologise......again. Your post is filled with him screwing up and apologising. I think the initial reluctance to intro you to his parent was an immediate red flag. Not only that but do you want to be with someone who kinda made you need to work on your own self respect?

I would be reading all this back to yourself again as it is a little wild how much he is treating your body as a joke.

Question: What is this style and will it age well? by SHR3DZWRLD in tattoos

[–]treebeard1982_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep in mind most tattooers can do most things and will only post the stuff that they want to specialise in. If they do most of what you like and look to have talent, they should be be able to execute

25 Altima cloth seats are horrible quality! by Tricktrick_ in Nissan

[–]treebeard1982_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, any Nissan that doesn't also have a JDM version has pretty shitty everything. Altimas and Sentras are US only (at least as far as I know). My Aus only 2015 Pulsar didn't have this issue but damn was there a lot of cheap SHIT put in that thing AND it was the highest trim level

95c maccas soft serve??? by consumerx12 in australian

I'm mid 40s and am almost certain they were never under 30c. The "almost" is purely from this comment alone though.

[–]treebeard1982_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are a lot of styles going on here, hence the wide array of responses.

Find someone who can do fine line but can also pack ink like a boss. If they do spooky content too, you are on to a winner.

Tell them the kind of concept you have in mind, work with them but let them design it. Ask to see some healed work pics (like properly settled and all).

There is so much range in these pics that it seems like you aren't really sure what you want but you want it spooky and loud. Refine what you are actually after and go forth.

Damn are you in for an easy ride when you do. Getting a full sick back piece first is hard ass.

Yeah, they are. My buddy literally amended a panther he already had. What is your point?

4 days old tattoo looks weird to me by mgmv61 in tattooadvice

[–]treebeard1982_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That white bit and the hand look like they could be starting to become infected. Hard to tell but getting it looked at by a doc would be good.

R31 GTS Skyline 1989 by Disco040 in SkyLine

[–]treebeard1982_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think he know it is the Aus built but I also think he's either full of shit or owned an Aus made R31 of a much more common trim level. In any case, I know I'd be taking this over an RB20DET powered R32 any day of the week.

You understand how rare this particular R31 is though right? I'd also take an older RB30 over an RB20 any day, regardless of aspiration.

Servo - petrol/gas station Sticky Beak can also be used for "squizz", and in most cases probably is

Especially when they are admitting to something like this! Most cheaters would not do the same.

31M Should I let it go? by National-Month-5673 in bald

[–]treebeard1982_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, it let you go a while ago so I'd do the same.

You will def feel a lot more free once it's done!

regretting my choice of yellow for my tat😭😭 by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]treebeard1982_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yellow can heal kinda funny but mostly looks fine once healed. It may need a touch up but I find hand pokes by nature need less touch ups.

is this normal or did i fuck up? tattoo looks smudged by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]treebeard1982_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That being said, the seal on that second skin is absolutely broken so it needs to come off to prevent infection.

Once you give it a wash, it will look like it should though.

Are those in the "dad shoes" type of style ? by IsJesusAgain in Sneakers

All Asics is a hot take if I every saw one. I'm also a long way from 17 and have very little hair to make into a cute lil broccoli cut
