'He agreed to buy me replacements... then backtracked': Brother refuses to cancel sibling's debt after his kids ruin expensive art supplies

These siblings were trying not to argue in front of the kids, but they just can't agree on who needs to repay who . Children will get into everything that they can. They don't always understand the concept of valuable items. They have no problem throwing food on the floor, breaking plates or vases, or keying your car, just to name a few examples. Their brains simply aren't developed enough to know why some things are more important to grown-ups than others. That's why it's usually the responsib…

'What I asked for vs. what I got': 20 Major nail fails that were not worth the money

Imagine paying for these nail polish nightmares … Well, a lot of people did just that, as they shared with photos that tell the whole story. Getting your nails done is a lovely treat, but it doesn't come cheap. When you go to the salon, you show the nail artist your dream nails, and you just hope they have the skills to do so. Not every manicurist can do it, and it seems like a lot of them need more practice. That won't stop some nail artists from charging high prices, as a few of the people wi…

‘He wanted to use my art for free’: Manager throws a fit when he learns overworked artist quit their job and took their art with them

Being an artist is not an easy profession, and even less so these days. Every day artists fight what seems like a never-ending fight for their rights and their art so that it will not be used in a way that hurts them or their livelihood. They always have to be extremely cautious with how, when, and where they expose their art to other people. Like this artist on Reddit, who shared their experience with volunteering their art at a college club. The artist told Reddit about the entitled club pres…

'My friend got a tattoo for his stolen moped': 25+ Tattoo artists and enthusiasts share the wildest things they've seen in tattoo parlors

Not everyone can handle getting tatted. Getting tattooed is a deeply personal experience. You're changing your own skin to represent a cool drawing or shape that means a lot to you.

Other people really want tattoos, but they can't handle the pain. People will tell you, “My tattoo didn't hurt,” while other…

'I demanded a partial refund and they refused': Tattoo artist tattoos initials onto unsuspecting person

Tattoos are so personal to the individual getting their skin adorned. Everyone knows that tattoos last forever, but it's a hard concept to fathom until you actually get the tattoo. Depending on where you get it, you'll either 1) look at it every day, so you'd better love it! or 2) never look at it if it's on your back or legs, and you'll kind of forget you have it at times. Regardless, you do have that art work forever, and even if you can't see it, other people probably can. Along with your ha…

'She called me ugly, so my friend painted a mural of me across her bedroom window' : Man gets ironic petty revenge on cheating ex girlfriend

Facing the past can be challenging, but sometimes it's ironically hilarious. A man was cheated on by his ex-girlfriend who went on to gossip about him to mutual friends after their rough break up. For some reason, she couldn't fathom why he refused to forgive her for said cheating and went on to add insult to injury, sharing with a friend of his that he was ‘ugly’. OP didn't react and decided simply to move on with his life. Basically, he was the bigger person. We've got to hand it to his frien…

Artists: Did you ever have a bad art-school critique that really set you back, knocked you off your pins? What was it? Keep it short; don't exaggerate. Often, it can be the least thing. Have you ever made a "revenge" work of art? What was it?

'I...was told “oh but you know only people with talent get in right…?"': 30+ Artists share the harshest critiques they've ever heard

Everyone's a critic, including the very teachers who are supposed to guide students along their path to success.

20 People who declared: 'Chia seed ALL the things!'

Ch-ch-ch-chia! These plants are usually so easy to grow that there's an entire brand built around making chia pets. Chia pets usually come with a fun pottery planter in the shape of a person ( Bob Ross seems incredibly popular) or a pop culture icon (looking at you, Groot). Even though it should be as easy as spritzing your chia seeds and waiting for them to sprout, not everyone can handle the task , and their chia pets don't turn out like the photo on the box. However, there's a new trend late…

This tattoo artist was frustratingly faced with the request for a free tattoo by this entitled choosing beggar who had deemed his trade to be “Just a hobby.” The exchange was posted by u/rockpaperpowerfist, the tattoo artist in question, and the purple messages in the attached text message exchange.
