I just want to share a small milestone in my tattoo journey today. ๐
Earlier, I finished the 3rd session of a tattoo piece for one of my clients, and after we were done, he gave me a $10 tip. It may seem small to some people, but to me it means so much more than the amount. Itโs actually the first tip Iโve ever received as a tattoo artist, and Iโm honestly very grateful.
Tattooing is something Iโm still growing in. Every session teaches me something new โ patience, focus, and how important it is to give your best for every client who trusts you with their skin. Knowing that someone appreciates the work enough to give a tip really motivates me to keep improving and pushing myself to become better.
This journey hasnโt been easy. There are a lot of practice hours, mistakes to learn from, and moments where you question yourself. But moments like this remind me why I started and why I should keep going.
To my client, thank you for trusting me with your tattoo and for coming back for multiple sessions. Your support means a lot more than you probably realize.
And to everyone who supports small artists like me โ whether through booking, sharing my work, or even just encouraging words โ thank you so much. Every bit of support helps us grow. ๐
This may be just a $10 tip, but for me itโs a symbol of progress, appreciation, and motivation to keep grinding. More tattoos, more improvements, and more milestones to come.
Thank you, God, and thank you to everyone supporting my journey. โค๏ธ
