Default Got my first 'pro' job coming up soon!

I'll be honest, I'm feeling this odd mix of nervousness and total calm. Half of me is "oh hell I am DOOMED", the other half is "pfft, we've done the work, we've done the prep, we've got the eye, and this is one of those things where anything above 'taken by a blind man's seeing-eye-dog' is going to be like angels singing".

It's around the 10th, and I'm doing shots of tattoos and the like for a little startup zine. It's a non-paid gig, but it could easily develop into something more. Wish me luck!

Good luck to you. As soon as you take the first shot your nerves will be gone, and you will have a blast.
