Now I'm going to apply color to the left eye. As always, I stir my product before I begin to make sure that it's going to be consistent and even, that the ink does not separate. That's a habit you always have to be in. Never, never hit the needle to the bottom of the well. Any thing, tap like that, could bend the needle. Even the slightest bang on that needle could tear the skin and cause pain and cause terrible work. So, you have to be very careful in handling this machine. From there I pull that skin very tight, and at a 45 degree angle, following the hairline, I proceed. Always asking the question, "How are you doing client?" "Fine." "Good, good." Because, if she's uncomfortable, I'm going to stop and reapply numbing agent and sit a minute because she shouldn't have to suffer to get this work done. Back I go, all the way in, toward the corner. I follow the hairline, I don't go beyond that, I like my work to be natural. When I'm done, and it heals, it's a quality product that a client, you know, can wear every day for years to come and be real happy about having.
