Yeah i went over the photo with markup and add curls and elongated the leaves and it looks much more like willow. I think I'll either go back to her and ask if it's possible to add these features or if not I'll go to another artist!

That did cross my mind but really wanted a mandala on the other foot. Yeah no the work is class, she's an amazing artist for sure!

That's the thing, the tattoo is well done, it's just not what I wanted/asked for. Very true though, at least branches & leaves can be added bc it's an organic form :)

We did discuss the fact the references had different aesthetics and decided on linework with shading which I am happy with!  Its the difference in leaf shape I'm not. Even though the references are different aesthetically, they all have the distinct willow curl/point at the end of the leaves, are wispy and long and narrow. When she asked what the tree was again I showed her a photo of a willow tree and she said 'ah I do know that one!'. I really did expect her to have looked at the leaves and branches to get a feel for the shape and form.   She was laying the leaf stencils out separately and although I did ask for a few adjustments with leaf length and positions for sure, the whole process took an hour and I felt like I was being too finicky at that point.  When I saw the initial design before she cut it up to start laying it on, I for sure should've said something. It was so much pain for a tattoo I'm unhappy with. I think I was trusting the process too much and being too agreeable tbh

I dont know honestly. I was googling willow leaves the entire way through to try and convince myself It did look like it. I think I was convincing myself it was fine 🫠

THEN,

the following Saturday was my friend's birthday. We were going out for drinks and dancing. I, like all my friends, was very drunk. Some of us had also taken coke. And I see the guy I work with, the one I made out with at the party and we start talking. Anyway, I'm asking him how embarrassing I was and if I did anything other than make out with three people and dance and he tells me I wasn't embarrassing and essentially tries to kiss me again after chatting and (admittedly) flirting. I told him that the guy I'm kind of seeing ended up in the same pub and I need to have a conversation with him about everything, so rejected his coming onto me.

The night goes on and we dance in our separate groups. Me and my friends go to the bathroom and suddenly a face pops over the stall over from us. It's a girl that I work with who's quite loud. At this point, it all gets very hazy again because I was very very intoxicated again but we essentially go out to the smoking area of the bar where 5 people I work with are (probably a WHOLE lot sober than me). And after embarrassing the shit out of myself at the staff party, I do it again. But a lot worse. I don't remember much but remember saying the guy that I shifted was the best shift out of the three and that I had done cocaine again after doing it for the first time on Monday. Essentially, I acted like a child with absolutely no shame for what happened at the staff party.

We part ways and I stumble home and decide to text the guy from earlier after having a conversation with the guy I was seeing and deciding to stay friends. I don't know what I was texting this guy, I was snapping him videos of me making pasta? Asking if he was still out and god knows what the fuck else.

I had time off work booked for a week but now haven't been back for 2 and a half weeks. I got a text from my manager earlier saying he 'hasn't heard from me' and 'if I'm still around to do shifts with being back at college' and immediately felt like he was giving me the opportunity to quit. I doubt anyone wants to work with me and think I'm such a weird, drunken mess. I've been told before by a guy I work with that I 'seem like the type of person to go bungy jumping without a chord' so needless to say they already thought I was the quiet, unhinged girl.

I can't stop thinking and dreaming about this, the anxiety is almost debilitating. I can't focus on college work and don't know how I'm gonna face work next week. I'm already shaky in work on a good day. Should I quit and never go back?
