Some tattooin'!

So I realized that I said I was apprenticing at a tattoo parlour, but never elaborated!

I have a lot of fun at my job, even though sometimes I get very frustrated with myself and my abilities, or I am fearful of disappointing my boss, or

I just feel downright not good enough.

I love tattooing; I have so much love and respect for this wonderful industry, and even though I have these feelings I still try my hardest to impress my boss, my customers, and most of all, msyelf.

I have just recently started tattooing people; I started off tattooing grapefruit but have moved up to tattooing my friends in the shop.

I have so much fun and I am very grateful to be given this chance. *A*

Soooo, here's some pictures of what I've done so far, from the beginning to my most recent.
I'll also be posting some of my artwork as well.
Currently, I'm on a Disney princess pin-up kick.

My advice to any other tattoo apprentices out there who might be reading this right now is to not give up and do not, under any circumstances, become arrogant.
Always be humble and modest, but have confidence in your abilities!

My second tattoo I've ever done.

On a wonderful customer, who came in and asked for me specifically!

Tribal sun/friendship tattoos. There are six altogether who are getting them, but I've only just done the first two.

Kokopelli!

Another tribal sun.

Another customer asking for me. The two flags are the English and the Irish. The yin-yang is a patch.

Tiger stripes/Peelander Z fan tattoo on lower back.

On a wonderful friend of mine! A Coheed and Cambria reference and tattoo for her daughter (who is also in the pic!)

Cuppycake! Had so much fun doing this one and was the most challenging one yet.
