POST GLEE WORLD IM SCREAMING

[laundryandtaxesworld]

i know i’ve posted multiple posts about the bucktommy kiss but it is literally the only fucking thing on my mind right now!

anyway- the way buck’s eye’s follows tommy’s lips seconds after the kiss is broken apart- *screams* i love that acting choice so much. like it shows buck willing and starting his journey just moments afterwards without any dialogue.

like omfg, oliver stark is one hell on an actor and i will be dying now with that scene in my brain for the rest of time.

*dies dramaticly but will be revived for 705*

and like while yes, the buddie aspect is there, im soooo incredibly glad that they introduced another man in the equation bc for some unexplainable reason, at least for now, this just feels more right. am i buddie shipper? yes forever yes, but also BUCK IS BISEXUAL BITCHES im so hyped rn its out of the world. his character growth will always be so incredibly close to my hear and it means so much to me, he means so much to me. and im so fucking glad he can finally be himself and learn to the true to himself in ways he had never allowed himself to imagine before <3333

AYO WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON HERE??

[hearteyesdiaz]

Why are they your villain origin story? Are they really really expensive or something?

Disclaimer: None of this post is about OS or his tattoos specifically. I’m honestly very neutral about his tattoos (I neither like nor dislike them, he can get whatever tattoos he wants tattooed by whoever he wants etc. and at the end of the day it has zero effect on me or my opinion of him as a person or an actor, yadda yadda) but at the greater trend of “micro tattoos” / “fine line tattoos” which are just like afldskjfas 99% terrible and a trend that needs to die.

Ok so this is in response to my tag on another post “#celebrities with fine line/single needle tattoos is my villain origin story truly” and anon, I’m not sure how much you know about the technical process of tattooing but it is something I am deeply passionate about so I’m going to probably over-explain why the trend of tattoos with no line weight variation and lack of skin break space makes these types of tattoos turn into absolute indecipherable mush typically after only a relatively short amount of time so strap in.

Ok so tattoos are made using needles to poke ink into the skin, which you likely know, but typically several tattoo needles are used at a time, clustered together at the end of a tube on a machine to allow the artist to line and shade with different line weights. Needles can be grouped into ‘flats’ and ‘rounds’ and are stacked/clustered together in a bunch of different combinations. Here’s a little non-exhaustive list of a few needle group clusters:

Artists will naturally have a few needle groups that they prefer to work with and will use often. For example, my artist, who does mostly American Traditional, Neotraditional, Japanese, and Anime styles of tattooing, will generally use 3-4 needle groups at a time for a single tattoo (meaning he will use 3-4 machines on one tattoo): typically a 13 Round for linework, a 3 or 5 and/or 7 Round for *smaller detail linework* and then a few shaders like a 9 Round or a 9 Mag or a 13 Mag for color and shading (Also note that it does not matter how many colors are used in a tattoo, because the artist will rinse the needles in a little water cup between each color, so the different machines used are solely for the purpose of achieving different lines and shading in a tattoo).

Here in my tattoo you can see how the 13 Round liner differs in line weight from the 7 Rounder (I think!!!)) in the smaller details of my Lone Ranger tattoo.

Looking at two of OS’s newest tattoos, it appears to me that his artist used a 3 Round for the linework and a single needle for shading. This is common in “fine line” tattoos that have skyrocketed in popularity in the last 10 years or so.

The use of multiple sizes of needle groups creates line weight variation in the same way that artists using any medium to create art varies the thickness of different lines to achieve depth, movement, etc on a two dimensional surface. Unlike other artistic mediums, however, tattoo artists create art on human skin, which breaks down, regenerates, and loses elasticity over time as we mere mortals age. Tattoo inks will over time also be partially broken down by the body (not all the way! That’s why tattoos are permanent!) resulting in fading pigments that can also migrate under the skin/be pulled into deeper layers of the skin and create blurry lines or ‘blow outs’. (Also, if you’ve ever seen an ooooold tattoo where the black ink looks blue, it’s because black ink is composed of mostly carbon that slowly gets absorbed back into the body over time). This will happen to anyone who gets a tattoo because we all age and is totally normal! If you get a tattoo at 20 years old and live to be 70 years old then your tattoo will break down slowly and continuously over those 50 years that it is under your skin! 

But as such, It is important for artists to compensate for the shift and loss of pigment under the skin over time by using bolder lines and skin breaks to negate some of this! 

And I cannot emphasize enough how small the deposit of ink into the skin is when tattooing with one single needle!!!!! These fine line tattoos look crisp when they are first created, but many in my opinion do not hold up against the test of time because there is not enough pigment under the skin, so the tattoo will fade much quicker, and many artists who do these fine line tattoos will try to cram too many tiny details into too small a space that doesn’t allow the tattoo pigment to expand out/under the skin without crowding into other tattoo pigments and exacerbating the blurring effect as your skin breaks down over time. 

If you look at OS’s new triangle tattoo specifically you might be able to see what I mean: 

Over time, this will turn into a triangle with an amorphous blob in the center, because it is too small for the amount of detail inside of it and there is not enough ink in the tattoo to hold up the shape of a lit melted candle, and one day (sooner than with a tattoo with bold and weighted lines) the individual components of a wick and flame and candle will all blend together. This is also a common problem with a lot of small script tattoos, which OS also has and you can see is mostly unreadable only ~10 years out (when did he get that tattoo?? Idk and idrc, I hate most script tattoos across the board too because of some of the same issues but ajbfjkdbfaj I’m not addressing any of that in this post bc this has already taken me hours to answer this dslhfkjfbda) 

And the thing is, this style of tattooing is at most 15-20 years old because the entire sphere of tattooing is expanding, globalizing and becoming more popular and more ubiquitous than it has ever been before!! Something like 1 in 4 US Americans have at least one tattoo now which is awesome! But as such, we do not know what 30 or 50 or 60+ year old fine line tattoos will look like and we are left only to make educated guesses based on what we already know about the relationship between tattoo pigments and human skin. People look at these cutesy, dainty tattoos and fall in love with them but don’t think about how they will hold up over time!!! Too many people only see pictures of a tattoo when it is freshly done and don’t think about how the healed tattoo will actually look for the rest of that person’s life after it is fully healed and settled into the skin.

And IDK I could keep going into how new ‘celebrity tattoo artists’ keep cropping up like those at Bang Bang in NYC and that motherfucker Romeo Lacoste in LA, that keep tattooing these tiny-ass micro tattoos on celebrities which expand the popularity of the style bc celebrities (ALSO, a lot of 'celebrity tattoo artists' overcharge for their shit tattoos and people think that because they tattoo Justin Beiber or Selena Gomez or whoever celebrity that they’re the best in the biz but they are not!!!! And they won’t actually post healed photos of their tattoos because they SUCK and also did I mention they’re waaaaay over-priced??? But I don’t know anything about OS’s artist and maybe he just paid fair London prices for his tattoos which!!!! is fine!!!!!!). And I’m sure celebrities and actors and the like have to factor in how well they can hide their ink for their work too but akfbdkjfnalfkgf in my opinion it really takes away from what the tattoo could be if it was just a liiiiiittle bolder, a little brighter to really define the piece of art they put on themselves for life!!!

Please, I beg anyone who wants to get a tattoo to see if the artist they like has references to what their healed tattoos look like!! It will be a Healed Tattoo on your body for far longer than it will be a Fresh Tattoo!!!!!!!!

OMFG. I HAVE THIS GREAT FEELING IN MY STOMACH BUDDIE MIGHT ACTUALLY HAPPEN THIS SEASON.

[outrunningthedark]

Have you ever seen those pictures of Oliver Stark where his hair is dyed black and he’s wearing dark clothes?

He’s pretty young in them and every time I see them I think of them as his emo phase he had at some point and the firefam finding them and teasing him about it

He’s the emo version of Boy George.
