Found Cat

This cat was hanging around for a few hours earlier. Does anyone know her?

She's mostly skin and bones, she seems to have some wounds on her neck, and the back of her ears have barely any hair left & are red. Bylaw won't pick her up, I can't take her in or take her to OHS, and I can't get ahold of any rescues.

She's taken off for now, but another neighbour and I have put food and water out for her. If I catch her tomorrow, will any vet scan her for a chip? If she doesn't have one, what do I do after that?

Poor girl looks rough and I just want to help her without risking my pets in the process

Update: she is actually a he, and is heading to a rescue tonight. They're going to get him the help he needs and find him a home. Thank you to everyone who offered help!

Becoming a tattoo artist

My oldest son is determined he wants to be a tattoo artist when he graduates high school. He has a strong love of art and has been working on improving his skills. I'm super proud of how focused he is... but I'm worried for his body.

Is anyone here a tattoo artist that could chime in with tips for him? I know a good chair is a must, but beyond that, I'm clueless. He's not as bendy/symptomatic as I am, but I wasn't at that age either & could draw for hours too. I can't now though, and if this is what he really wants for himself, I want him to be able to do it as long as he possibly can

Buying supplies ahead of time

My son has decided he wants to be a tattoo artist once he's finished high school. He's currently working on his drawing skills and building his sketchbook up for a portfolio.

We've looked together at everything he will need to start learning, and woah it's a lot. I'm happy to support him and get everything, but it's not in the budget to get everything all at once.

Can I start getting him things now, even though he won't be using them for 6-8 months? I figure ink is probably something that should be bought closer to when he gets his machine, but I have no idea what else should be bought closer.

Does fake skin expire? What about soap/glide/stencil transfer (unopened)? Should I start buying different size cartridges now or just stick with getting all of the disposables?

Thanks so much!
