Things that make you go hmmmm...

Stephanie dropped a bit of a bombshell today... she wants to find an apprenticeship as a tattoo artist...excuse me?? A what?? And she's sent art work to a few studios in Adelaide and has been asked to come in and see one on Thursday. What?? Hmmmm.

I'm not sure what to think. Like I said. Hmmm. As you can see by the sample below, she can certainly draw... but drawing on people? Hmmm.

Steph has always had a fascination with tattoos. But I never realised she was considering it as a career option. I've always thought of tattoos as being a bit...well...dark and sinister. I know there are lots of prominent Christians who have them. And they aren't just the brand of bikie gangs anymore...but still. Hmmm.

I responded in the supportive parent method of response... told her that if thats what she really wants to do then chase that dream but I'm still picturing my little girl surrounded by big burly blokes wearing leather. She has been to the place where she has her interview on Thursday, and assures me that most of their clientele are students and young women. Really? Seriously? Am I that out of touch???

Anyway. In other news she is still persisting with the boyfriend. They almost broke up yesterday, which I'm afraid to admit I was happy about. She has coloured her hair now because he likes girls with dark hair. Puhlease. I just want to slap her.

Dear Lord, I pray that whatever path Stephanie takes in life that she will take her along with you. I know she is feeling lost at the moment, and feels that things keep going wrong for her, please let her feel your presence and your love. Help her be strong enough to do what is right for her. Please watch over her as she recovers from her cold. Amen.
