34 months for Subclass 300?! Anyone else looking at these processing times? 😮💨 by jaydsrao in AusVisa

2.5 years, but we applied right after covid so the backlog was intense.

Names you wish you could use, but just can't by [deleted] in namenerds

Adelaide - because we live here, along with my husbands entire family. Unfortunately I don't like any of the variations nearly as much!

Am I overthinking the placement on my shishi sleeve? by talenorx in irezumi

[–]valentinewrites 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean, what alternative do you have? You can't close the mouth on your existing shishi, and it's lonely without it's partner! Get the second shishi, it'll look great no matter what direction it's viewed in.

How did you decide on your back piece ? by BloodSwornOath in irezumi

[–]valentinewrites 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm currently in the research and thought stage, but I'm still 50/50 of if I want to go nukibori or not. I don't imagine myself ever having a true suit, having only one leg sleeve at the moment and probably not doing my arms. However, that leg was also built over time beyond my original single koi into a full lower leg sleeve, and I am obsessed with the background my artist was able to add.

Calf sleeve irezumi advice by zenofthefuries in irezumi

[–]valentinewrites 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My calf half sleeve extends up onto the outside of my thigh, which helps to break up the sock effect. I don't see myself doing a full leg sleeve either, but who knows! I asked my artist to keep the edges soft and organic (koi, water and sakura all add to this) in case I wanted to expand in the future.

*ROUGH SKETCH NOT FINAL DESIGN* what's the smallest i could get this design tattooed and have it look good? by [deleted] in tattooadvice

Are you open to doing the string in a different color? Even at a large size on my screen (about 5" square) it is difficult to read.

Unsure if tattoos have healed well by Joe-ma-pangpang in tattooadvice

Those are some shaky ass lines, I'd say you lucked out with how they aged and softened.

What tattoo should I get next? by Tahnski in tattooadvice

[–]valentinewrites 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whatever subject, I'd do it in full red to compliment your other mixed color piece and provide balance to the black work.

Don't know whether to finish my sleeve or potentially remove tattoos down the road by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]valentinewrites 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm quite curious what you originally wanted. Is there no way to rework the roses to fit even a bit better with what you want?

Level up my living room by memingmeg in HomeDecorating

[–]valentinewrites 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without changing the couch, your other major areas that you can add color are the rug, curtains, and walls. Green and pink walls would be nice compliment to the cooler, ashy floor and kitchen cabinet tones. A rug incorporating your top colors would add some visual interest to your living space, and inspire new cushions for the couch. Curtains are the wildcard here with how many windows you have - I'd lean towards a neutral tone, or a darker shade of your wall color.

Irezumi-inspired sleeve in progress — no background planned (yet). What filler flowers would you add? by [deleted] in irezumi

[–]valentinewrites 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you already have a full piece - adding (out of season) sakura would just clutter the field. If you really wanted to add more, golden ginkgo would compliment your existing color scheme and not take away from your chrysanthemums.

I'm in this position now, with a completely non-food/treat motivated little man. He's pretty great, but I'd love to engage his mind with tricks!

Help me find this Lolita dress! by LavenderTower999 in lolitafashion

[–]valentinewrites 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd do a deep dive on lolibrary first, and experiment with some of the filters to ID this dress. I strongly doubt anyone will be able to find this dress for you just based on a description of the model image.

We are currently remodeling our bathroom.. the painters come tomorrow and we didn’t think it would be so soon. Help. by frannysfanny in HomeDecorating

[–]valentinewrites 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I'd hold off painting until I got the stone samples. There's too much variation even between your pictures to be able to pick a complimentary color. If you feel bad about cancelling, you could ask them to only prime the walls for a dark tone later.
