He’s been with me since 7th grade and I’m now 21! He’s a sweet little dude but he does have an itching problem and I would love to know the cause of it or if there is something I could do to help !! And just what he wants to say in general haha
This is my cat Chevy, what does she want to tell me?
Context broke up before Valentine’s Day. Worked through it, been over it for some months now. We hooked up for a brief period a month or so ago and he was catching feelings and I didn’t care. Linked again yesterday and now he’s been on my mind ?!
Top 3 are my current energy toward someone, bottom 3 are his current energy towards me. (Context we talked intensely for a short period and he got scared and backed off and has been on and off since)
I’ve heard varying opinions on making traditional “your own” some say tracing the og designs and running it is better because there is nothing to fix, and on the other hand it feels wrong to not make it my own if that makes sense. Sure sometimes old flash needs some adjustments but if it’s a design that’s ready to go, do you recommend leaving it be?
So I got hired over a year ago, spent the first 8+ months strictly drawing and then have been on skin for a year now. I got hired as a “shop apprentice” so I basically get tips on occasion but nobody directly works with me and I don’t get drawing excersizes, help etc. everything art wise I have done on my own. Nobody has ever sat in with me on a tattoo, it’s basically a figure it out by yourself situation. However, the expectations of me are to be at an artist level 1 year in. They have me do walk ins who think I’m an artist and when I express things I’m not comfortable doing I’m either told to do it or looked down on for saying I don’t want to do it. On the flip side, If my tattoos aren’t to their standards I also get chewed out, it feels very lose lose no matter what I do. They made me quit my part time job so I work 6 days a week at the shop, usually 10 hour days. kind of just stuck on wether it’s worth sticking out till my skills are good enough to take elsewhere or see if basically redoing my apprenticeship elsewhere would be a better idea? I’m aware shops don’t like taking on someone who has already started tattooing so I’m pretty stuck on wether it’s better to just push through a bad environment or go somewhere I’d actually get help. If anyone has any advice it would be greatly appreciated !
