CultExciter Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 I'm a lefty. I've learned by watching and most importantly, listening. It doesn't matter where the sideplate faces or what side the desk is on. You just might have to move around a little bit more. I'm more baffled that your mentor told you to look online instead of figuring out what he/she should be doing differently on their own. Good luck! Or good luck?

tiffershea Posted August 15, 2014 Author Share Posted August 15, 2014 thank you! ive mainly been tearing apart stations and flipping them. I feel like my mentor means best and wants to make sure i am understanding what hes saying, and being the first lefty of his career (it being a long one) i think he just wants to make sure im not hindered in anyway. we're doing well with it and I've done my first tattoo and we were fine. i found it strange how everyone at my shop sees me being a lefty as a challenge lol! thank you again for the response! - - - Updated - - - thank you! ive mainly been tearing apart stations and flipping them.
