u/Opening-Antelope-678

I've been playing more Premier with friends lately and I've noticed Significant performance differences in similar areas of the maps

On faceit I'm averaging around 350-380 FPS in most areas and it feels fine and smooth

On premier I'm averaging around 220-260 which when using a 240hz monitor feels like ass.

The settings are identical and I have the same programs open (essentially just discord and cs)

I will record some gameplay to show but I am unsure what would cause such a difference, I'm averaging 100 less FPS on premier and sometimes even lower my res to play Premier smoother

I'm in Europe and looking for new machines for my set up.

I have an FK irons exo 4.0 and a flux max 4.5

I've enjoyed them but they are getting on a bit now, the customer service for FK irons in the UK and Europe is shocking so I'm thinking of switching it up

I do neo trad and traditional but in a street shop you get a bit of everything so I want a well rounded machine.

I like the look of the new Vlad blad but it looks a pain in the ass to wrap

I was thinking of getting a coil again as well to do my large pieces and bold lines again but I am unsure what brands or builders in the UK and EU are reliable anymore

Let me know what you guys are using

So I tattooed some kanji on a dudes face, the reference he sent is AI generated so it's put the tattoo on the RIGHT side of his face, he got it on the left side of his face. Obviously it's face on the same way so when you look at it and read it you still can read it "correctly"

​

The dudes taking selfies and it's mirroring the writing and he's claiming it's the wrong way. I have had the patience of a saint through this whole thing explaining it and he still doesn't get it. I've done diagrams, tried explaining it so a child understands for 4 hours and more as this dude gets just more and more angry and rude.

​

Fast forward to today and he's messaged the shop demanding 10k compensation for the "mistake"

I'm trying not to laugh but I've never dealt with a situation this insane before. I'm a professional and still trying to be polite but I'm not sure what more I can do

I got diagnosed with IBS and lactose Intolerant a few years ago and it seemed to be getting worse, more so lately with stress

A family friend asked me have I looked into MCAS, I had a lot of the symptoms for that as well

I've been taking antihistamines for the last week or 2 and not had a single flare up since (and I've tried)

I've ate pizzas and cheese and cereal to try cause a flare up on the antihistamines and not had one

It's early to say it's 100% fixed by this but I've felt great

Has anyone else tried this? If not I'd highly recommend trying if you can

I work in a busy city street shop, I am getting by and usually always have something to do the days I work weather it's appointments or walk ins.

The amount of people coming in with AI slop or generic Pinterest tattoos is an all time high, I can deal with this but a lot of people are wanting tattoos impossibly small.

As a professional I tell the clients the issues of tattoos too small, they tend not to listen and be like "well I want it that small"

I feel like the bad guy telling them no all the time and it can become very draining having this battle daily.

On one half I'm like "just do it dude, they will go down the street to another shop somewhere else who doesn't give a shit and will just take their cash so I may as well do it"

But on the other side it hurts the soul. People like different styles I get that, it's what makes them human but at least get it done in a way it will look good for years not weeks

With tattooers all over the globe shutting up shop and the economy tanking I could do with the extra business, but battling integrity for a paycheck it can feel like a devil is on your shoulder.

To the street shop artists who are fueled on darts and caffeine How do you guys deal with these situations?
