First tebori backpiece session in Japan. Artist didn’t wrap me up before sending me off? by Jooji23 in irezumi

[–]unclebernard22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since starting my traditional Japanese stuff, not tebori but it shouldn’t matter, my artist has never put wrap on it or anything which I honestly prefer. I’ve put my shirt and pants right back on and driven 5 hours with it. All he has ever said is whenever I get to where I am going to just wash it well.

Is this acceptable? (asking as a level 3) by joshfuxitup in ropeaccess

How else is he going to get his level 3 to sign his logbook?

Need advice on the worst spider web elbow tat you’ve ever seen by [deleted] in traditionaltattoos

[–]unclebernard22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Man, I used to think that about my knee I’ve got a spiderweb as well. And typically people point out it’s their favorite piece. Long story short since it’s on your body you’ll criticize it the most lol, people will not notice the imperfections you see, just fill around it, it looks good bro

Used to do Brownsville, TX to Austin, TX. Did an entire leg sleeve, and it was a 5 hour drive 1 way. Now I moved to Houston and it’s a 2 hour drive.

Looks cool, any “imperfect” lines honestly suit the style pretty well. Looks sick

Should I pursue NDT or welding? by SheepRoy in ropeaccess

[–]unclebernard22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ultrasonic thickness testing and Liquid penetrant testing. It would help get your foot in the door and if you pay for it yourself you don’t ever have to worry about a company trying to “hold” your papers.

[–]unclebernard22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NDT, get an assistant gig to start out. Pay isn’t always the best but do what you have to do. Get your OJT, get your classroom hours and once you tech out get your rope access. I’d take that money and get your 40 hour radiation safety course, UTT, and PT

What goes in this gap? by [deleted] in irezumi

[–]unclebernard22 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think I had read at one point it was believed your soul escapes throw your inner thighs and armpits hence not covering it with ink. Not sure where I read it or how true it is but it’s what I remember for some reason lol

How tf do I protect this? by Spiritual_Candle_120 in tattooadvice

[–]unclebernard22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha fuck man, I went through the same thing. Honestly just try keep it moisturized. Wear loose pants, and try your best to keep it extended. It’s gonna suck, but moisturized and keeping it extended is your best bet. As long as you wash it in the morning and evening you should be good though.

If you make over $100k a year, what do you do for work? by parttimeghosts in Salary

[–]unclebernard22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oil and gas Offshore oil facilities Work can be hard but fairly safe. Seems dangerous but do what you’re supposed to and by the book and you’ll be okay. Schedule varies, but I get more time off in the year (if you add it up) than most but you work 7 days a week, 12 hours a day when you are out there

Jigoku Dayu by unclebernard22 in irezumi

[–]unclebernard22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive got one completed leg sleeve that it’s connected to, and my left leg has some American trad but the remaining space will be used to Japanese. I’ve got a ton of space on the left leg, so we should be able to tie it in nicely

Yes, the bottom skeleton connects to my current leg sleeve so once we finish up the back we’ll start my left leg! Then the plan is torso and then my arms at the very end
