Life certainly was busy for Paine. Between school and spending time with his parents in separate houses. life was busy. Not only that, but he loved spending time at Ingraine's shop. the way everything went down there was certainly awesome! The piercings and tattoos inspired the little guy very much. He even got his ears pierced by his mom. It ouched some, but it really wasn't too bad at all. In fact, he didn't even cry! He saw grown ups cry when getting piercings and tattoos, so he felt pretty brave!One thing that the little guy felt very inspired to do was draw. He saw awesome art tattooed and drawn all the time and he wanted to be just as awesome at drawing! Maybe he'd even work at his mom's place someday when he got bigger!.Setting himself up at his spot in the shop that was just for him, Paine watched the goings on about the place and smiled to himself as he got his colored pencils out and set the cup down on his table. "Hmmmm" he hummed to himself as he began to ponder what it was that was going to give his artistic muse that boost! That kick to get something drawn!
It was then that he noticed this big person come in. They requested to talk to the owner. "Uhhoh..." he said softly. Not that there were really any issues at mom's shop, but he felt it was like a parent coming into school and wanting to talk to a teacher or Miss Ava. Talk about intimidating! As his mom talked to the guy, he found out it was nothing bad. Nothing bad at all. The guy -- come to find out he was a guy during the talk -- wanted the best of the best for his tattoo. His mom was certainly the best!
Even more curious about this now, Paine decided that he was going to watch this one from beginning to end! It had to be amazing if his mom was asked for! Settling down to watch as the sketch was drawn up, he couldn't help being in awe at the artistic skills the drawing of the tattoo took! So may details and on a large scale, too. He had learned that the smaller the tattoo, the more that the details got lost. It was sad, but true! When the sketch was done, Paine couldn't help but be awestruck by the beauty and details that went into it!
Now it was time to start the tattooing process since the sketch was approved. Paine was certainly excited to watch this masterpiece go from paper to a work of art on someone's skin! As excited as he was to watch this happen, he was also beginning to feel sleepy as time went on. It was going to take hours to complete and goodness knows that he still had trouble staying up late. It was sad for him to throw in the towel, but it needed up happen. He went in the back to mom's office and curled up in the little cot that was set up for his and his sibling, and dozed off, dreaming of art, piercings, and tattoos.
