What if the work you keep turning down is the work that…

What if the work you keep turning down is the work that gets you to your dream style? The pieces that get you to your dream style aren't always the dream. They're the ones sitting just a half step outside of it. The job that made you figure out an edge, or a blend that you hadn't tried yet, that pushed you in another fun direction that you didn't see coming. 🥠To evolve your dream tattoo style, you must be flexible and adapt to the given opportunities first. You don't get to the dreamwork by holding out for the dreamwork, you get there from the pieces in between. First session on this one inspired by the St. Michael Vanquishing Satan by Raphael but with a twist. #tattooeducation #colortattoo #skeletontattoo #angeldevil #candidcolorcoach
