i am so insanely proud of my booberry. <3
he's got four tattoos under his belt now.
and his second third and fourth were so amazing that the owner (hippie is his name-o)
said that michael's work is too good to be handing out for free.
so michael is now a full-on tattoo ARTIST.
he still has things to learn, but he learns so well and so fast that it's no problem.
everyone in the shop is beyond impressed with him.
they can't stop saying how unbelievable he is.
and how they've never EVER once seen anyone do that good of a job in that short of time.
at first they said he needed to do about 10-20 tattoos before really starting to charge.
but.
michael did FOUR.
and now he's no longer an apprentice.
it's official.
his first ever tattoo. on me. it's not finished. and where it's darker by the handle and heart is where jaytee was teaching him how to shade. michael's going to finish/fix it up a little when it's done healing.
his SECOND tattoo. (well kind of, he did a tiny little heart on kristen's hand, but that doesn't really count) is that not amazing ? his line work is impeccable. and it's just his second big tattoo. i can't even believe it.
his THIRD tattoo. his first time shading. it says "forgive me lord for i have sinned."
that's his original script. and it's amazing. his shading is perfect. the lines are perfect.
everything's awesome. (except this picture because it's blurry.)
please come to crystal dragon tattoos in spring hill and request him to do it. 766-TATT.
michael really is amazing. and i'm not just saying that because i'm his girlfriend.
i'm saying that because he really is and everyone else agrees.
