the first victim..err...customer...
ok...so for those who didnt know ive decided to venture into the art of tattooing a few months back...and after practicing very heavily on safety precautions (some might say im paranoid about cross-contamination) and even practicing on myself a couple of times...i finally got my first client....my price? $15 (just to cover supplies and gas) the design? 2 roses entangled by them stem...one withering and the other one healthy on her back/shoulder (a fairly simple design)
sterilization...
took me an hour to thoroughly clean the part of the house i was going to be tattooing in (i actually cleaned it a little more than i shouldve but better safe than sorry) then i cleaned all my tools and such then set them up...
tattoo process...
she squirmed....alot....which made me nervous as hell, its not that the needle was going in too deep or anything she just had a hard time getting comfortable ..but i maintained focus and after 2 and a half hours i had successfully completed my first tattoo on another person...and when all was said and done...she was happy with it...which is a good thing...(not to mention she got a tattoo for 10 times less then she wouldve actually paid at a shop)
i got another client lined up for saturday...hopefully that'll go smooth also...
