Thumbs up I did it!!!

Well, I did it, all by myself this time I tattooed my first kid by myself ever! I used to have my friends brother do it for me, but i decided to give it a go myself! It wasn't bad at all! Now the only fear I have left is to dis-bud by myself. I think that ones gona take a while to do myself though

Thank you!
no, we usually just hold them still. My mentor has a layout for a box, so Ill probably get the blue prints from her. I have to get ready cause babys in jan/feb!! I think Ill probably use the bucklings as my first victims. That sounds bad dosent it?
