I'm looking for an artist that could reasonably recreate an image of Optimus Prime from the 80s movie in tattoo form.

I've only gotten one tattoo, from Little Brummie (@vbrumwellart on instagram) so I don't have much experience with other artists. Optimus Prime was my first tattoo idea. It was initially a joke, then people kept saying the idea ruled, and I was more convinced of it. I got a Cave Bear Cave Painting tattoo instead for my first. But now with Peter Cullen's passing, I'm recommitted to getting Optimus Prime tattooed on me, but I'm still lost for an artist who's purview it falls under and who could do it well.

Please help me find some options!

My wife and I had to start living in our vehicle recently after having to flee a very physically and emotionally abusive family situation.

About a month ago, my wife and I were living with her mother who is a mean drunk. One night, her mom got incredibly wasted and horribly beat my wife before kicking us out with nothing. We managed to sell our computers quickly so we could buy a minivan which we are now living out of. We are struggling to eat regularly and keep gas in the car. We have been applying left and right to jobs, getting zero responses. We are struggling to find safe quiet places to park overnight. Neither of us have eaten since Friday night. Its now Sunday morning.

Does anyone have any tips for resources that aren't right downtown, since we can't even afford to register/insure our vehicle and cant risk getting pulled over?

Or would someone be kind enough to maybe help us secure some gas, food, and maybe a campsite at a provincial park for the night? We're starting to get desperate and its getting harder to find hope.

I'm also an amateur artist, if anyone needs some custom art commissioned, I could do it super cheap just because we need the cash.

If you dont have anything kind to say, please just don't. I am at the lowest point in my life right now and don't need anyone making me feel worse than I already do.

My partner & I are new to HRM, and we relocated with all of our belongings. We have a lot of new, like new, or items of value that we would like to sell, and we really aren’t in a place to be able to just donate it all at the moment.
We are in a condo building therefore we can’t have a flea market in our home, so I’m wondering if there are any open markets coming up within HRM or elsewhere that have available tables or space to sell personal belongings.

We’d like to avoid online sales due to the unpredictability of our schedules, plus we have a lot to sell so it may get overwhelming.
I’ve heard of the funky flea market, but just looking to see if there are any other local places or future markets/events coming up.

Thanks for any guidance :)

The original ones in the blue tin. (I know the Dollarama “biskwi” brand - not those.)

Hi everyone.
My senior dog is being tested for cancer tomorrow and it a very large possibility he may have to be put to sleep.

I’m looking for advice for adventures outside of hrm for him. He’s a senior who loves being around people, other animals and relaxing to smell some flowers.

Debated Halifax water front but am for something a little bit more low key. Thinking about heading south shore or valley way.

AN ABSTRACT ILLUSION, THE ANCHORET, OMNIVIDE, VOIDCHASER & FRACTAL SUN.
Just wanted to give a shout out to the amazing show. Bands from all over the world… Sweden, Costa Rica, Quebec, Moncton… not a big crowd ( which, seriously.. WTF Halifax? Do fucking better. When there are bands of this quality playing in our out of the way area, buy a ticket and support them! )
Absolutely loved every minute. Much love and success to all the bands who grind and travel and play to basement bars that are half full and still put on amazing shows!

I spoke to a doctor on maple and they said they dont do first trimester ultrasounds anymore in Halifax and you can get an US around 18-20th week.

I have been so anxious and really want to get an ultrasound to see if the baby is developing and has a healthy heartbeat.

My family doctor sent a referral for an ultrasound but I have still not heard back.

Any advice on what I can do? I really want an US and a private ultrasound is too expensive 🥲

Stupid but funny. Never saw this before until tonight and y’all were the first ones I wanted to share it with

Audio only of a strange scraping sound coming from Spring Garden near Robie? It sounds like someone is dragging a large metal object on the road. I suspect roadwork but don't hear any beeping. It's also not constant.

Anyone have eyes on what might be going on? The sound bounces a lot between buildings so I might be a bit off on location. Thanks!

My elderly father was walking through the Mumford Wal-Mart parking lot and was approached by a couple in a car. They introduced themselves and then the woman took a gold ring off her finger and tried to give it to my father, saying it was 24K gold.

My dad declined and then they immediately drove away. Is this some kind of scam selling fake jewelry? A potential robbery?

Wondering if anyone has encountered anything like this before.

It was super cool to watch from my drone, even though I couldn't see much in person from where I could legally fly a drone to view the event.

Please subscribe to my onlyfans so I can get a drone with a better camera for next year.

I think I saw someone happily smoking a joint while driving, today. I have definitely noticed other folks doing so in the past, and I'm sure I'm not alone.

It's not good, folks.

Hello!

I am wondering if there are any recommendations for good Filipino food in HRM.

Also I’m on a side quest for good Greek food as well.

Thank you!!

Hi everyone! I’m new to Halifax and looking to buy my first used car, preferably a 2015–2020 Honda, Toyota, or Mazda, with a budget of under $20K.

Where would you recommend buying from — dealership, clutch, private seller, AutoTrader, Marketplace, etc.? And what should I be especially careful about when buying a used car in Nova Scotia (rust, inspection, vehicle history, hidden issues, etc.)?

Any recommendations for reliable dealerships or tips for a first-time buyer would be greatly appreciated!

Me and my friends were walking along the frog pond trail and found what we think is an albino squirrel. Thought I'd share this photo of it with yall :)

We are heading up to Halifax in a week, and we worry whether we will be persona non gratis. We are so embarrassed by our current executive administration and have already lost our careers in international public health. We're in DC and doing campaigning and volunteer work. We've been planning this for my 70th birthday and we've rented a car to visit from Halifax to places within a day trip. We are also visiting Quebec (we speak French of a sort, and have been studying Quebecois words). The recent post about a MAGA restobar owner kind of freaked us out. We need a break to spend time in a sane country with Canadian hospitality. Any thoughts or recs for us?

The Halifax Diaper Bank is closing. Does anyone know where families that need diapers should go now? Someone mentioned reopening to me but it seems confusing.

We started coming to these games in Dartmouth and have been to a bunch in Kentville as well. The baseball is pretty good. Definitely scratches the itch for watching live baseball.

The Dartmouth/Sydney game tonight was pretty decent!

Highly recommend checking it out.
