We also only have her word for him saying it was tacky, and the way she comes across (what with posting his work in an attempt to ridicule it) I’m more than a little inclined to call shenanigans on that part of her story.

Hands and feet (including fingers and toes) tattoo very poorly and don’t heal well. Most artists don’t want crappy faded work that never healed properly being paraded around with their names attached. Neck tattoos can make future employment difficult so unless you have other visible tattoos most artists won’t do those…

Because it’s not fast food, and tattoo artists stake their reputation and business on word of mouth. If he does a tattoo that she regrets down the line and starts badmouthing he can lose business. Tattoo artists do this all the time, and they have the right to do so.

As it damn well should be.

I hope it’s absolutely withering.

Or pierced for the same reasons.

And he’s entitled to refuse to do any tattoo for any reason, and that’s what happened so I don’t understand why she’s having a fucking toddler tantrum about it. She really does come across as condescending (the whole ugh lasers thing to the employee at the 2nd shop) and entitled.

I always wonder about the children you see with that sort of thing. I remember hearing a discussion about whether or not to take the youth group to an abortion protest at one church I used to go to (nothing spoiled my appetite for Christianity quite like Christianity) and feeling really uncomfortable with the idea of…

I would say thank thank God, but I really just can’t because it happened to some other woman who’d just had a miscarriage and it’s still gross as fuck no matter what.

You got that during your grieving process? I am so sorry that happened to you. I don’t have words for the sadness and anger that is making me feel. I really don’t.

Those assholes come out in force in Milwaukee during Summerfest. My second summer living up there was the first time I had ever seen one of those posters. It was during my morning commute so I was already in a bad mood, and I just went with my gut reaction and stopped long enough to ensure the fucker saw my middle…

Sometimes you have no other choice than to throw up your hands and ask someone if they’re really that stupid.

Some group actually sends unsolicited postcards with pictures of dead fetuses on them? OMFG that’s horrible. Ugh that’s just gross and frankly very condescending. Like any of us don’t understand the reality of abortion.

This. So much this. If I need a cold drink and a caffeine boost an iced Americano or Latte will do me just fine, and failing that just a nice glass of unsweetened iced tea. If I want some sugar in a cold beverage that’s why we make lemonade in the summer though admittedly I don’t add much sugar to that even.

I also buy deodorant because I sweat and my armpits stink.

I got my period in the middle of sex one night with one ex, and he wouldn’t even drive me to the store for tampons so I had to go out alone at 3 am to get them. He was also a complete ass about me getting the blood on him.

I love that moment of commiseration with the clerk because she knows the feels I’m having. My husband reports that when he buys tampons, chocolate, and wine from a female clerk he gets the “aww” reaction and sometimes is told that he’s a good husband. He is also told that when he gets home, especially if he also picks…

I’ve never understood that from grown ass men. Being close enough to a woman that she trusts you the buy the right brand and everything means you have a woman in your life who you’re intimate with.

Oh Goddess the Instead thing was a complete debacle for me. I ended up getting the thing stuck while I was house sitting for friends and by the time I got it out the bathroom looked like a crime scene.

“You know those come in adults sizes” is also another direction you can go.
