Congratulations to paigestu.art on her THIRD TATTOO-VERSARY! ππΏ
On the 1st of June, it had officially been three years since the first day of my Tattoo Apprenticeship - Three years since Pearson Ink was teaching me how to tattoo lines onto a grapefruit before my fake skins arrived! π€£
Five weeks after that day, after practicing all day, every day on fake skins, I tattooed myself! My first tattoo on real skin. A week or so later, I tattooed my best friend. After that, I tattooed a few more friends before people online were asking to book in with me!
8 months later, Peter and I opened Hybrid Ink Theory, and the rest is history!
I am so, incredibly grateful for this journey. For every single client that has trusted and supported me. For every client that has become a lifelong friend. I couldn't possibly thank you all enough, because without you, none of this would be possible!
And of course, my business partner, Peter. Thank you so much for taking a chance on me. You truly changed my life forever and I am so, so proud of the incredible studio environment that we have managed to create together!
Here's to many more years and much more "Forever art" to create! π
I love and appreciate you all! π₯°πΈ
