giving myself a solid B+ grade overall for this month's apprentice tattooing event...... i did more last-minute appointments this time so instead of my scheduled 15, i ended up doing about 18 tattoos in total over three afternoons, and i only started getting clumsy and really mean to myself during the last three appointments on the last day. so that's pretty good i think????

#and also the girl i'm dating(!?) thought i did a great job + really likes her tattoo + still wants to go out with me so thats a win #but i felt like i was getting corrected like every hour about something i did that wasn't Quite Doing Exactly As My Mentor Would Do It #so it felt a bit like i was fumbling everything the whole time :((#but everyone liked their very cheap small new tattoos and i did a very good job keeping everything clean #and my needle depth and line consistency was a lot better #its just that like... the lines did still seem amateurish !!!!!!!WHICH IS FINE BECAUSE I AM STILL AN AMATEUR!!!!!! but disappointing....#wdym i'm not tattooing on real skin like i have 15 years of experience after only 2 months of regular practice... that cant be right....🧐..#anyways. no one's gonna get a blown out / scabbed over / traumatized skin scar tissue tattoo OR contract hepatitis from my work #which is all you can really ask for with a dirt cheap apprentice tattoo. like its not Beautiful Art but its all clean and correct technique #so..... win some lose some ig #sorry im really rambling in the tags rn for no reason beyond i need to write this all down before i forget. you understand of course #🦇#🩸
