A day to remember...

[ApprenticeLife]

Yesterday, I finally got tattooed by my teacher. I told him I wanted a tree on my leg and that was it. This is just the first session, all shading, drawn on with marker. The canopy on the thigh will come later. Afterwards, I got bandaged up and tattooed one of his clients, into a piece he had started last year. It was such an honor for my teacher to take a day out of his (booked out 6 months) schedule to tattoo me. Also, to have him allow me to incorporate my tattoo into his was amazing. I did this little mockingbird and drew the branch on, so it was also my first time freehanding something for a tattoo. I'm still buzzing from it all... or maybe that's just my leg healing? Haha thanks for looking.

Another angle to show how it wraps over the shin. Will be full color eventually and have some symbols carved into the bark, also in the canopy.

Thanks! I'm still super high off the experience. I crashed so hard the day after. Getting tattooed and then tattooing is exhausting.
