Huel looks a bit like Soylent! I have not delved into that yet because I'm not crazy about drinking my calories (I LIKE TO CHEW AND REND, RAWR). I made tofu at home for the first time Sunday evening and it. . . was okay. Requires further tuning. I think I was somewhat hampered by the fact that I'd never eaten tofu before, didn't have a lot of things to cook with it, and had decided watching two YouTube videos was subsequent preparation for a first effort.
Well, it's $50/paycheck every two weeks for two months; $199 a pop at the place I went to. Fortunately black ink is the easiest to lift out? I think it helps that I'm super hella pale, which as I recall you are as well. I talked to several artists before I decided to get it removed to see if covering it was feasible, but it was too dark to have anything done to it without being lightened first.
I'm still bitter about my artist's non-apology apology, which was along the lines of, "I'm sorry you're unhappy with [linework I apparently did on day two of heroin withdraw]; let me stab you with inky needles some more and see if that helps." A friend of mine who actually studied art pointed out that the first piece this artist did for me, a thigh piece which I love, is much different stylistically than this one. I think she should have recognized it was outside her wheelhouse, though. My thigh piece has lots of bold lines and is very visually graphic, whereas this was a lot of delicate lines that she fucked up and tried to hide with dark shading WITHOUT ASKING ME. But it will be okay.
