So item been a few days since I started my second apprenticeship and it's going smoothly. There are some major differences in how the shops are run. This one is very clean and professional, I learned how to sterilize tubes and grips. I like that my boss man is warming up to the fact that I'm not the average apprentice bc I already have some good tattoos under my belt. He let's me stencil out his tats more now and even used my shading techniques on one tattoo. Guess he wasn't able to grasp the shading for it, so he had me do it. The paperwork system is way diff too, it's paperless and not difficult . he days it's 6 months before I am able to learn any tattooing but I think that will shorten bc I'm already good just needs some tweaking. he asked me to email him my most recent tattoos so that makes me think he will bump off a few months
