Pirates - stagnettis revenge

Throwing designs away is the wrong decision. Let your perspective clients decide what is not good enough for their bodies.

Man that thumb does look all wrong. The work is pretty solid though. I dont ever tattoo a stencil i havnt checked over. Sanity check so to speak. Make sure everything looks good and proportions are accurate. Change as necessary.

Seems like from your accounting the other artist at the shop wanted you out. So they pushed until you broke.

I personally find it hilarious all the sub 200 hour EOD accounts ive been killed by recently. Currently running labs for the current converter and far forward gps unit. A lot of my deaths on labs are very suspect.

I know that why i havnt. I decided for now that i will treat tattooing as a part time thing. If it ever takes off then i will revisit. And if it doesnt then it will remain a part time thing that i will be greatful i even get to do.

Pretty much what i have decided. If i am able to be successful in the tattoo industry then so be it. For now i will keep perfecting and moving forward.

Chroma doesnt and the way their inks go into the skin is really nice. Pretty much all i use now

Na i totally get it. Took a while for me too. Ill say this though that first time you kill some thick boi in samurai armor and a altyn by melting his knee caps in your paca is so satisfying

A kedr with dmg rounds, go for the legs. Playing this way will get you comfortable aiming at different body parts on the fly. And you run with a kit you dont mind loosing so you will play better.

I dont know where you are at in life but i feel this. Im married with 2 kids and my current job is s really good job. I will end up with an extremely nice pension at retirement. Tattooing is something that ive always wanted but until the past year never had the opportunity to chase.

Now im stuck with do i risk my current career and stability to chase what i really want. What if i make that leap and end up in the same situation you are going through. I wish you all the luck and success you are chasing.

Nothing yet. I refuse to give rockstar more of my money by buying a console just to play the game day one. I will wait for pc release and play it on better hardware.

Pinkman, for thinking his wrongs made him any less of a monster so to speak than walt. Dude totally lost his shit in the end and deserved exactly what he got.

7hatguy__1

You either get people sitting in corners for 35 minute’s or you get what me and my buddy ran into tonight on labs. We hesrd a guy running up the stairs by red keycard. Then he open the door. Jumped spun in the air and headshotted both my buddy first and then me before he hit the ground…..

If the man was attempting to harm you and you defended yourself, you didnt do anything wrong. People may disagree with that stance especially on reddit.

The question you have to ask yourself is do you want to only tattoo other people’s artwork? What happens when someone comes to you wanting something that you dont have a design that you downloaded from the web?

I have been learning this craft for about 3 months now so im still very new. I used to draw all the time when i as younger and im definitely super rusty with it. I made the decision to switch my focus and go back and relearn all the fundamentals of drawing. Im also studying the different tattoo styles.

To really go somewhere with this craft you have to know how to draw. You need to understand color theory, shadows, values, form, perspective, etc and how it all interacts. Then you have to understand skin. Afterall skin is just a medium. There are plenty of resources out there to help you learn how to draw.

Drawing is a skill it can be learned.

Ive had a much more enjoyable time on regular pvp.

Yes rampant has a different definition than prevalent. Rampant is about how unchecked or out of control something is. It often implies a problem. Just because bsg does ban waves doesnt mean they give a shit. You cannot convince me that bsg doesnt use the whole ban wave cycle as a funding model.

This is a subreddit about tarkov not other games. Why would i mention or talk about other games. Of course cheating is an issue across all games.

I never made any claims about how prevalent or not cheating was in tarkov. That said 1 cheater is too many and too much. Cs2 is trash.

7hatguy__1

Far from the lowest common denominator. Playing with sweats and cheaters is a pain in the ass. I could see people dealing with the sweats if cheating wasnt such a huge issue. But cheating is rampant, bsg doesnt give a shit, its a money thing for them. They do ban waves to get money.

I still play pvp and its alot different since pve came out. Its frustrating at times.

I loathe cheaters. I wish the internet could find a way to truly region lock servers, no way to bypass shit. Then make cheating in online games like tarkov illegal. For the US make it a felony with minimum mandatory sentences. Yeah a bit extreme but thats what i would do.

I personally would be fine if you had to allow full access to your computer to play.

7hatguy__1

Yeah ive been trying to do that as well but shit is expensivex

7hatguy__1

I at least want to be 1.0 or above. Im realistic im not very going to be amazing at the game but i at least want to be average. I dont have the time to commit to be incredible or anything

7hatguy__1

Yeah just sucks cause i wanted to complete the seasonal stuff. Its just frustrating.

Cream is right down the road from me. I bought s couples packs of their liners. I had two carts in a row from a box that i just couldnt get to run right. Two issues out of the box with them. 1 they would puke ink no matter what i did. The second they were dull. The day this happened i ended up swapping to a metal fingers cart and the metal fingers was less painful and felt so much better.

Maybe it was just a fluke but im a little worried about using them at this point.

Yes they are more comfortable and more ergonomic to how i hold my machine. The grey part feels like silicone to me so it just kind of sticks to my gloved finger.
