So its only ben about a month and one of the artists at the shop wanted the owner to touch up one of his older tattoos.
He hadnt taken care of it, and it had faded some.

The owner asked me to set up his station like i normally would, so i did.
Once i was finished, i sat down with my gloves still on, i wanted to watch.

The owner did half of the outline on an old school spider on the other artists forarm, when he looked up at me, i was watching intently and he said,"you wanna try?"

Both me and the artist being tattood shook our heads and laughed. Theowner frowned a little and said,."HAVE SOME CONFIDENCE GIRL!"

and i laughed some more.

He looked to me and said,."ill be here the whole time, im not going to just let you loose on Trevor,.

So i nodded and sat down. He reminded me to constantly dip my needle in the ink, and to make sure the skin was stretched between my fingers and wiped with A&D. He then drew a straight line and said,."can you give me a line like that?"

So i did, and he laughed and was like,."holy damn Trevor, she can do a straight line!" and trevor was like,."what??" and looked it over.

The owner then drew a line over the outside edge of the spider, its round belly, and i did the same on the other side.

They both looked at it in shock.

The owner asked me to finish outlining the spider, so i did.

They both died laughing.

I thought i'd done something stupid.

The owner was like,."oh my god, we are going to the health depo tomorrow".

i was like..'omg did i fuck it up that bad!?"

and he laughed at me and was like,."no no. you just blew trevor out of the water! When he started here, he couldnt draw a straight line to save his life, let alone do a whole outline without squiggles or blowouts. Im taking you to get your body art lisence so we can have you bring in people as guinea pigs and practice shading and packing color."

then he chuckles again, watching trevor rub his arm and walk back to his station. "since you obviously dont need to practice lining"

my day was great.

If my progress continues at this rate, maybe ill have the money to get Molly her shots soon. Its getting hotter every day,.but i cant bring her inside till shes had her shots.
