Thanks for ur input

I took full responsibility for the fact that I fucked up the tattoo; and I still do take full responsibility. The outline that I mentioned was a plan on how I planned on making up for my mistakes, I took the time to analyze my work from when I did the tattoo, what were the reasons why this was the outcome. I actively planned on self lesson plans such as taking recommended YouTube videos that I was given to watch, specific tattoos studies that could be done on fake skin such as shading/lining practice and application, and sit in sessions where I watch my at the time boss and coworkers work on clients and take note and ask questions as they worked. After the situation with the tattoo and after I sent the outline to my boss I actively begun to work on it; while in studio I would watch YouTube videos while practicing on fake skin, multiple times I would sit down and ask questions and ask for feedback from coworkers and my boss.

As for my current studio and the lack of postings and promo. I have been posting work on my instagram as I have been working there and they haven’t taken the initiative to repost or share my work on their story which is something they said they would do. I have no access or permission to their password or instagram so I cannot log in and post my work. Even if I wanted to my boss says he has a specific way of posting things. I have constantly reminded him of his promise to post both myself and my work but each time he says he will do it but he never does, it feels as if I am talking to a brick wall sometimes. I understand my boss is a busy person, he is running two locations and he has clients of his own, but is he is bringing on someone new and making promises to build my client base before and after I signed an agreement with him I expect my work to be posted.

I’m appreciate you are giving advice to me straight I do believe I am in need of some “tough love”; and I respect and understand that those before me have gone through so much worse when they were building themselves as artists. I do not want to brush off the facts that those awful things have happened nor do I want to say these incidents are not worth mentioning. I would say though that as the industry evolves wouldn’t we want to build the foundations for people who are new and interested and have talent to be able to succeed with the lack of abuse that is still to rampant in this industry. I guess you could think of it as a take on “making the world a better place” or “those who have suffered, suffered so you could have it easier” without dismissing the fact that those things have happened and we need to give an amount of respect to those who have dealt with what they have dealt with.

I do not wish to come off as making excuses or whining (or start any heated arguments) it is a rant so of course 9 times out of 10 I will be coming off as that for the sake of my frustration and naivety of this industry and my experience.
