I usually do handpoke tattoos, but I pushed myself to practice using my machine for the third time (ever!) and it turns out that being willing to try is being willing to improve! rome wasn’t built in a day yada yada
i’m usually pretty judicious about what i keep and take to a bisque and then a full fire bc i hate making things that end up becoming a heavy burden of THINGNESS and often those things arent up to the caliber i want them to be. I’m learning in therapy that this is really bad perfectionism. I challenged myself to keep this speaker amplifier no matter how ugo she got ( i nearly scrapped her twice) but it’s growing on me bit by bit.
