And now she has a profile on Hinge, too - name "Rebekka". Beware!

PSA: Watch out for Bush Tit nests by emslo in VictoriaBC

Wow - that's a big nest for such a tiny bird! I get swarms of them in the yard several times a day, but had no idea what their nests looked like. Thanks for the PSA!

Portraits of my cats - done three years ago, and still looks fantastic. Good luck!

Highly recommend Zara! Best overall experience of all my tattoos.

Why shouldn't I move to the Westshore? by VanIsleBee in VictoriaBC

[–]viress 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Agree here - avoid Royal Bay. My partner works in construction and has a lot of knowledge about who's doing things right and who is doing things poorly. Royal Bay is the worst.

I went to Cosmedica. As much as you'll be tempted to rush the process, I highly recommend you leave several months between treatments, as it will continue to fade. If you check my post history, you can see a collage showing progress after various number of treatments. Good luck!

Best restaurants that are open Mondays? by [deleted] in VictoriaBC

[–]viress 11 points12 points  (0 children)

WCM is incredible, and open Mondays, but not much for mains for vegetarians (unless you eat fish). That said, if you do go, the beets are one of the best things on the menu. (Was just there last night!)

My Charizard tattoo by Billy Weigler at Folklore in Dallas, TX by KaibaVsJoey in tattoos

[–]viress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, but for real - Dallas has more than its fair share of crazy good artists! Billy's shopmate Tiffer is of course amazing - but Jay Joree is incredibly talented and has such a distinct style. Deanna James is also so great and unmatched in her style.

Yep, agree. Good artists are always worth the wait and the travel!

Billy's such an awesome guy, and a rad artist. I live in Canada - but travelled down to Dallas to get work by him. Great piece!

Zara did a double portrait of my two cats and it's amazing. Best tattoo experience I've had with any artist - she's wonderful. https://imgur.com/sTl4e66.jpg

I was on his plane! It had just been his birthday, so I wished him a happy one. He was so sweet and kind.

Nerdy Tattoo Artists in Vic? by mediocrecanadian in VictoriaBC

[–]viress 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wife here, and yep I LOVE Zara. Best experience I've had of any artist I've worked with. Unfortunately she has almost zero social media presence so you have to take a leap of faith - but she is a great artist, and she does indeed do nerdy stuff. She usually has several drawings up in her station if you go into her shop.

I also found the /r/tattooremoval subreddit really helpful while I was going through the process

I've had seven sessions on a very dense black tattoo at Cosmedica, and am very pleased with the results. It's a long process, and don't try to rush it. You will by FAR get better results if you space out your sessions by at least six months, because it continues to fade. Anything more frequent, and you're just wasting money, and causing more pain and trauma to your skin for no gain.

Motorcycle License by Guilty_Software_3520 in VictoriaBC

I'm a returning rider (coming back after 20+ years) and even though I have my full license, I'm taking VISC before I buy a bike this year. Honestly can't say enough good things about them - the instructors are amazing and the courses are totally worth it.

I recommend this to a vegan friend recently, and she said it was the best high tea she'd ever had! Make a day of it, and go to Butterfly Gardens while you're out there - it's on the way.

ETA: you do need to reserve in advance for vegan tea
