Too ambitious for 2nd stick n poke? Any tips?

I just drew a rough sketch of a tat I'd like, this moth with a damaged wing. I'm just wondering if this is a little too ambitious for a second stick n poke attempt? Or if any could give me some tips for this one?

Obviously it'd be lighter than what I've drawn in pen, and I'd be using mostly a 3rl, maybe a 5rl for it?

What's this inner wrist area like for stick n pokes? I've only done one on my leg so far. Would I need to to be more delicate and go less deep, or keep my technique the same?

I'm going to draw up a proper design for it, and practice on some fake skin. But any advice or tips on this idea/placement would be great!

What is my skin type and what's the best way for me to tan?

Hi all, I'm new to the group but I hope this is an okay place to ask. But I'm wondering what my skin type is and how I should be tanning?

Up until about age 12 I tanned SO easily and got super dark, I also didn't experience sunburn at all until I was 14 (and it was still only a little over my nose) I'm half Italian (live in the UK) and I think I've got olive skin.

I'm now 20, and every year it seems harder for me to tan. I still don't burn though, nothing more than a little bit of sun kissed look on my nose/cheeks, but even then it only lasts for a day. But building up a tan just seems impossible for me.

I spent 4 hours straight out in UV 6-8 (2 hours at UV 8) with no SPF (bad i know but whatever) and literally nothing happened, a little more of an overall tan but it's so subtle and my tan lines don't show much progress.

I've tried tanning oil and spraying with water but it doesn't seem to work for me.

What skin type am I if I don't burn OR TAN 😭

Lower part of wing sticking out my

Hi all one of my 5 week old runner ducks has her lower wing feathers growing outwards? As opposed to tucked flat against her/hidden under the larger part of the wing. I'm just wondering if this can be normal? Whether there's anything I should do? Her other wing in completely normal.

I'm also a little worried as the other girls are pecking at it, not sure whether they are just wondering what's sticking out of her or whether they are bullying. She's always been a little smaller than the rest of her sisters, she's a little more calm and timid, quieter too. She's the only one that's stayed very cuddly, and runs to snuggle into me all the time 🥺

Anyway this might not be a big deal but I'm a first time duck owners and worried about my baby Beatrice :( Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Opening a cafe/restaurant what do I need to pitch?

Hi all, I'm 23 and currently work at a beautiful restaurant near me on the coast. The building is owned by the large local estate, but has been rented by the same restaurant owner for the past decade. They are closing this branch of their restaurant next year, and so the building is up to let.

This little area is very near and dear to my mother and I, we grew up out in this area of the countryside and have always wanted to own and business out here. We don't know if we have enough experience or what we'd need to get started though. My mum and I have both completed culinary courses in the past, and I've worked as a restaurant waitress then supervisor.

However my Mum currently works in civil service, and we're not very well off, we'd need a pretty good business loan to be able to begin. But we have passion, a beautiful idea for business, we have a variety of skills needed to run it (culinary, barista, management, my Mum's worked as an accountant before, I've done social media marketing) so I honestly feel like we could do it - but where do we begin??

I'm just looking for some insight into this type of business owning, how does renting a restaurant building like this work? Are there a lot of fees and deposits needed? It's a very seasonal location, but I assume rent would stay the same each month. How can I create the financial side of my business plan? I have to send over our CV's and brief business proposal before I can get anymore details (I don't even know the rent rate), but what should our first proposal/email include?

Hi all! This is one my beautiful girls, she has always been a little bit of mystery in terms of what colour we think she'll turn out!

She began with a pink beak which has now gone mostly dark. And she matched the colour what would be the fawn areas of my fawn and white girl. So I was guessing she'd be fully fawn coloured.

When her feathers first started to poke through she looked like a light silver/lilac, and now she's almost 4 weeks and today I can finally see her feathers properly on the side of her chest! They look almost gingery/light brown, so maybe she will be completely fawn?

Any guesses on what her adult colour will be?
