  • There’s an important note at the bottom of that article:

    “The recall announcement noted that Sierra Stain is no longer in business. While the company lists a remaining email address, it did not immediately respond to a comment request from Ars on the bacteria found in their inks.

    The FDA recommends that consumers be vigilant about the quality and safety of tattoo supplies and techniques. It also encourages tattoo artists to work in professional environments that can reduce the risk of contamination.”

    Stay safe. Talk to your artists about their materials. Feel comfortable in your decision. These are your responsibilities.

    I’m not discounting the issues with oversight, but these issues are arguably with the entire cosmetic industry as a whole, not just the tattoo industry.

    This article is very informative, but given that the recall was tagged to one supplier that was already out of business, I do consider it misleading.

    For piercings, APP is fantastic resource & well regarded.

    I honestly cannot say the same about ATP, but they did release this statement about ink ingredients 5 months ago.

    Take it for what’s it’s worth. Not an expert or an artist, just planning a few more pieces myself.


  • This is possible in the US for sure. My first thanksgiving not at home, I wound up getting my bird the night before.

    The smallest one they had left was 23lbs. And it was still frozen.

    Burned out two full size hair dryers & one travel size, trying to defrost the bird.

    There were only three of us & we drank cognac all day. We didn’t eat until almost 10:30 that night.

    It. Was. Terrible.




  • Hell. Yes.

    Fry up that skin like a piece of bacon. Brine some tomatoes. Mix up some concoction of mayo/gravy/whatever suits your liking…

    Or…

    Dice up that turkey & skin. Press it together into discs with the leftover stuffing/dressing, and brown it up like a patty with some butter…

    This goes surprisingly well with a bit of canned cranberry mixed with mayo.

    Leftover Turkey sandwich time is the Holiest time of the year.









  • My analogy isn’t terrible, it’s spot fucking on. You just use the ice maker & wouldn’t want to lose it so you’ve attached more value to it than the Anova App.

    Does the refrigerator not refrigerate without the ice maker? You didn’t buy an ice maker, you bought a refrigerator.

    No one is pissed about the device not working. People are pissed that Anova is taking away a FEATURE.

    Anova App = Feature included in original purchase price

    Ice Maker = Feature included in original purchase price.

    This isn’t about the value of what’s being taken away. It’s about the principle of taking away something that was already paid for.

    If Anova wants a subscription based model, they’re welcome to it, but…

    Their current customers did not buy into a subscription model & have the absolute right to be pissed off about being forced into one.
