Output 32—DAMMIT

Output 32—DAMMIT

Is this SYNCHRONITY?:

Five minutes after writing Output 31, wherein I admitted my growing suspicion that I hate tattooing, my plan to wait to make a decision until my ADHD meds start working, my motivation for waiting (maybe I just hate it because it’s a slow process and I have untreated ADHD), and my worry that if I do decide to walk away because I hate it, I might be shitting on “God’s plan,” ...I ran across a Facebook post from an artist I admire in which he showed a photo of his first (self-applied) tattoo and told the story of how 20 years ago he accepted an apprenticeship with a friend, bought all the equipment, tattooed himself (shittily), and then realized he hated tattooing and decided to be a painter instead.

This is literally the first time I have heard someone who was a tattoo artist admit that they quit because they hated tattooing. Who walks away from the coolest job in the world?

Apparently, McBiff did.

Weird, right?
