my main issue is timing & availability.I had planned to get a Phoenix from my knee to my nipple and sleeves but then tattoos became a fad and pricing went nuts. I don’t know how much my last one was but once hourly rates hit $100, I was done. I just couldn’t afford it anymore. And so many people going to shops without a clue of what they wanted. I never understood that. Maybe at least have an idea of the direction you want to go, not necessarily the exact tattoo, but the direction at least? C’mon.
it never ends. I'm lucky in that I'm old friends with my tattoo guy, so I get a discounted rate, and get bumped to the top of his cancellation list, so I got 3 sessions in 6 weeks, full days of 6-8 hours each time. He's always happy because I bring him homemade bacon.with my other eventual half sleeve that is barely started but started enough to take up a big ass piece of real estate on my right arm, my issue there is the artist who started it no longer tattoos so I have to find someone else who is both willing to finish it (and preferably stoked on it), and can do it in a style that meshes with what's already there.
buuuuuut I've also got a request out to a whole different artist about an entirely different piece and I'm waiting for her books to open again.
lmaooooooooo of my six current pieces, only two are actually all the way "done"
Not a regret, but it needs to be reworked for sure.Who else has regrats tattoos?
My husband. But hopefully his mistakes have shown my kids what not to do.Who else has regrats tattoos?

Same, my Liverpool football tattoo needs reworking. My all colour Red XVII tat needs a touch up top as its faded.Not a regret, but it needs to be reworked for sure.
Holy fuck that's a long time.it never ends. I'm lucky in that I'm old friends with my tattoo guy, so I get a discounted rate, and get bumped to the top of his cancellation list, so I got 3 sessions in 6 weeks, full days of 6-8 hours each time. He's always happy because I bring him homemade bacon.
yeah I got spoiled when Jason was tattooing bc I didn't have to worry about paying or planning or waiting but one of the reasons he stopped was, the dude he had apprenticed under never really TAUGHT him anything (and like, he'd get mad if he caught him looking up tutorials) and while I think Jason has done some really great pieces, he knew he was never going to be allowed to get any better there, and he was at a point in his life where he didn't want to start back over as an apprentice somewhere else.it never ends.

We bought 10 of the covid rapid tests last time they were on sale just because the same shit keeps happeningDaphne is sick AGAIN, so I'm also sick again, we've spent the better part of the last 3-4 months with one cold or another because they've been lingering.
we can always trace the illnesses back to her cousins, but my SIL still keeps sending her kids to grandma's when they're sick and letting them play with their other cousins when THEY'RE sick which is usually where they get it from, although the girls are back in school now so they do get additional exposure.
they've all been sick for a few days now, Daphne started being sick yesterday and today my MIL, Jason, and I are all feeling it. the oldest cousin spiked a fever last night so SIL kept them all home today and she got the oldest tested today for strep & COVID, the strep was positive but the COVID wasn't a rapid so she won't hear back for a few days. she'll keep the one with strep home tomorrow, but she'll probably send the others to grandma's which like, at this point we are all sick so idk if it matters but I'm just so fucking annoyed. I have sent Daphne when she's sick, but that's only because she got sick from the others so there's nobody to save by keeping her home.
