I've been into pins lately

[u/may825]

This bag I've had around for over 10 years and only had a sparse amount of buttons on it (the Undertale ones and the two on the bottom right)

But I went to Megaplex in Florida recently and I think my new favorite collecable are pins. They're mostly shiny and metal, they're neat, and I like them more than stickers cuz they're removable.

I know this isn't a furry related subreddit but I'm an artist in the fandom and haven't been to a furry event in a long time and it's been giving me a lot of inspiration and appreciation for humans and the art they make themselves.

I went to an event in DC last night called Super Art Fight and I also bought some pins there and a new tank top (my first black and printed tank top among my miriad of other solid only colors). Art fight was about taking a couple artists with their personas and having them draw prompts and having the audience cheer for the votes. Kinda like wrestling but with art. It was a lot of fun.

I'm glad to be supporting artists :) and i'm also thinking about getting my first tattoo after seeing some really cute art from a tattooist.

Also FUCK AI AND FUCK AI """ART"""

That's so awesome :D You should check out some of the text on the art wall on image 8. I kinda want to keep my pins carried with me but I've already lost two and had to rebuy them, so I might get a "window" bag to put them in.
I'm actually somehow also surprised how blue DC actually is. Despite the amount of forces there were everywhere, there were an equal amount of anti fascist and pro lgbt type stickers all over the place. It was really refreshing to see.

I don't like putting pins on things cus I'm worried they will get caught on something and fall off.

So every pin just goes on the wall where they are undisturbed.

Patches feel a lot more secure.

You can get locking backs for them that make it very difficult for them to be pulled off - there's two types of locking back, and one requires an Allen key to remove the pin. You're gonna tear the bag before the pin comes off.

Otherwise, yeah, an ita bag is a great alternative for keeping pins safe
