In the end, Xiao Ke didn't wake up Zhou Sin, went to the toilet lightly, and went back to sleep by himself. When he woke up the next morning, Zhou Sin lay beside him, awake.
Xiao Ke looked at him, then smiled and said, "Good morning, Teacher Zhou."
There was still laziness and hoarseness in his voice, and Zhou Sin also smiled: "Good morning."
People who still have to go to work are not qualified to stay in bed. Xiao Ke can eat breakfast made by Zhou Xun when he cleans up, which makes him feel very satisfied and his life is complete. The porridge was ordered in the pot last night. The lean meat porridge was put in a little salt and sesame oil, which was very fragrant. Xiao Ke has limited ingredients here, except for porridge, at most, he can eat an egg cake, and if there is more, he will not be able to make it.
Xiao Ke sighed while drinking porridge: "I feel like I can meet you only after I have won the grand prize."
Zhou Sin smiled, shook his head and said, "I should say this."
"Are we talking politely to each other?" Xiao Ke took another mouthful of porridge and said with a smile, "Will you come to stay with me tonight? I won't drive if you come."
Zhou Sin thought about it and said, "I have a client this afternoon. I have an appointment at 1 o'clock. I'm not sure if I can do it at 5 o'clock. Can I pick you up at 5:30?"
"Don't pick me up, I'll take a taxi to find you in the store." Xiao Ke looked at Zhou Sin and smiled, "Don't be so careful with me, we are just two rough guys, don't worry about me too much."
Zhou Sin did not agree with his words, and immediately said: "I am a rough man, you are not."
Of course Mr. Xiao is not a rough man. From Zhou Sin's point of view, Xiao Ke lived a delicate life and understood it very well. Xiao Ke was very attentive when dealing with him, and he was very careful and never perfunctory. Zhou Sin naturally also placed Xiao Ke in a very important position and respected him very much.
Zhou Sin wanted to pick up Xiao Ke from school, but the client arrived an hour late, and Xiao Ke could not do it when he got off work, so he finally took a taxi by himself. As soon as Xiao Ke came in, Zhou Sin said to him, "I'm sorry."
Xiao Ke laughed at that time, walked over and put one hand around his neck: "I'm sorry, baby, stop making trouble."
This sentence was said in a very low voice, the tattoo machine was buzzing, and even the client sitting in front with his back to the front probably couldn't hear it clearly.
Zhou Sin said, "I didn't do it, just wait for me."
"Okay, no hurry." Xiao Ke let go of Zhou Sin and let him continue to work. He looked around and asked, "Where's Xiaobei?"
Zhou Sin pointed to a tattoo room with his chin, Xiao Ke walked over, the door was not closed, but he was not afraid to look, Xiao Ke leaned against the door frame, Lu Xiaobei looked up, Xiao Ke smiled at him.
Lu Xiaobei was wearing a mask and hat, and he couldn't see any expressions. He blinked his eyes and said hello.
His client was a cool beauty, with a long black drape over her shoulders and only a half-length black vest on her upper body. Lu Xiaobei was drawing a spider on her waist. The big black spider looks fierce, but it is also cool enough. This kind of picture is still a little heavy to Xiao Ke, and it feels uncomfortable after looking at it for a long time.
Xiao Ke just turned to leave when he heard the girl ask Lu Xiaobei, "Dude, are you interested in my brother?"
Lu Xiaobei replied calmly, "I think too much."
Xiao Ke looked back, the girl was lying on the back of the chair, her black nails knocked on the front shelf, and said with a blank face, "That's fine, my brother is honest, I can't help but tease."
Lu Xiaobei said, "No one is funny."
The girl lay there and said, "He's a fool, buddy, there's no best thing, if you want something fresh, be merciful."
According to Lu Xiaobei's surname Ge, the machine gun should be back at this moment, but after he was silent, he just said "um".
Xiao Ke was a little surprised, and felt that Brother Bei had become more gentle recently. And he also wanted to know who this girl's younger brother was. Although Xiao Ke was not that interested in other people's affairs, Lu Xiaobei had different identities after all, and the relationship was here.
The exhibition will start next weekend, and almost all the people who plan to go are ready. Most of the tattoo artists in the store have applied for the work group, but only one applied to the on-site group. The work group should do the tattoo in advance, and then the model will go up and compare the work directly. Therefore, the store has been very lively during this time. A tattoo artist can submit up to five works, and there are many models.
A tattoo artist has been preparing for more than two months and plans to sign up for a Japanese full body group. This is the first time Xiao Ke has seen tattoos on the whole body in the store. After all, if there is no competition, no one dares to do this on a daily basis. For people who don't understand tattoos, the impact is still too big.
Japanese tattoos are fancy and brightly colored. From the neck to the feet are full of pictures, the back picture has not been done on the base, the front already needs to be supplemented, it is really hard to catch such a work.
Just over a week left to arrive and one leg left unpainted. The part he did was really shocking. When Xiao Ke passed by, he occasionally went to see him making pictures. The model was recruited on the Internet, and I wanted to be a flower back. I heard that I came here to do the whole body for free, but it is rare to have no regrets now. In fact, the tattoo is also very painful, so I will not say it. Coming over every day for two months to do this was excruciating.
Xiao Ke asked Zhou Sin privately: "Do you think this can win an award?"
Zhou Sin said: "Not necessarily, not sure."
At that time, Lu Xiaobei was also there, and he and Zhou Xun were the only ones left in the store packing their things. Lu Xiaobei shook his head and said, "I think it's boring."
Xiao Ke asked him, "How do you say it?"
Lu Xiaobei didn't light a cigarette, so he bit the cigarette and said, "It's quite ordinary. He's been grinding it for too long, so I can't grind it like this. The things that come out of this grinding have no spiritual surname."
Xiao Ke smiled and said, "I thought the tattoos were carefully crafted."
"There's nothing wrong with that," Lu Xiaobei dismantled his machine and put it away. He lowered his head and said, "But it's the details, the little things, that are the only things to think about. If the outline is rubbed over and over, it won't go well. The inspiration is not enough, and the hand feel is also average. It is the same as drawing a picture. If you change the mood, you will not be able to change it. Look at his picture, the front and back are separated, and the back is filled with virtual things, except for a face. There is no content. The tone is also a little darker.”
Xiao Ke didn't understand this. He was just watching the excitement, but he couldn't see the way out. In his opinion, works that are already so shocking can only be mixed at an average level with them.
"It's a pity," Xiao Ke said, thinking that he couldn't win the award after working hard for more than two months, and said, "Prepare for such a long time."
Zhou Sin walked past him, his hands were not clean, so he touched Xiao Ke's chin with his wrist. Xiao Ke smiled at him, and Zhou Sin said: "It's not a pity, he knows it himself. And it's not necessarily that he can't win the prize. There are fewer people in this big group, and the competition is smaller."
It's not easy to win a prize in a tattoo competition. Those who spend money are not counted. It is very difficult to win a prize in a formal tattoo exhibition. There are people out there. Tattoos also depend on the feel of the hand. There are so many strong ones. The competition to win a prize is too fierce.
In fact, no one is very good at this kind of whole body map, many of them are done for the first time, and they are directly used for the competition. On the one hand, the competition is small. Another important reason is that the picture is too big. If you go out for hundreds of hours, it is impossible to hire a shooter, so there is very little water, and the competition is generally very real.
Lu Xiaobei sneered at the time and said, "You can invite a master to make a half-blade or a flower arm. No matter how cheap a master is to make a full-body picture, it will cost 800,000 yuan. The relationship between master and apprentice is worth so much money, and so does the apprentice. Not so much money, not all teachers and apprentices are like me and my eldest brother."
This is quite right. Most of the masters and apprentices in the tattoo circle have to be tied to money. They need to spend money to be a teacher, and they also need to spend money to be an apprentice. The tuition is quite expensive. And not all masters are willing to be gunslingers, just like if Lu Xiaobei goes out to the game, Zhou Sin might not even look at the pictures for him.
A game is a game, and there must be rules in the game, and there must be rules in life.
In fact, there are many such exhibitions every year, but this time it is the largest international exhibition of the year, this time in Beijing this year. Several tattoo artists in the shop are preparing nervously every day, only Zhou Sin and Lu Xiaobei are still doing pictures and paintings in their spare time.
The entire first floor is reserved for the tattoo artist who wants to compete, and the two brothers work upstairs. Xiao Ke was on the sofa watching the data sent from the mobile phone, while discussing a few words with other teachers in the work group. Zhou Sin's client is very special on this day. They want to do a set of rings, bracelets, ankle rings and neck rings.
The two boys came together. In fact, the meaning of this kind of picture is obvious. Although Xiao Ke doesn't mix in that circle, he knows a little bit. The pure black ring has a specially made leather texture, and the edges are worn with raw edges. There is even a metal pendant under the neck ring with initials on the pendant.
Before Zhou Sin made the picture, he emphasized it again: "Black with this density is not easy to wash. If you want to wash it in the future, it will not be clean, so think about it again."
The one who wanted to get a tattoo glanced at the other who was accompanying him. The boy had no expression, looked a little cold, and said to him, "You decide for yourself."
When the boy answered, he was very firm and lowered his eyes: "Don't think about it, you can be a teacher."
Xiao Kexin said that today's children are playing too wild, and they are fearless when they become crazy, and do not give themselves a way out. This kind of ring tattoo marks itself on the base of the body, and those who understand it can understand it at a glance.
The boy looked at the other with naked eyes, that kind of pious and warm eyes.
Later, when only the last bracelet was left, the boy who had been watching with cold eyes suddenly said, "I'll do this."
Zhou Sin glanced at him without nodding.
Tattoos are not paintings, they are carved into the skin, too deep to damage the tissue or too light to resist coloring. Although it's not that difficult to fill in a pure black ring, tattoos are dangerous, and it's impossible to let them go trick-or-treating.
The boy who was doing the tattoo seemed to light up several degrees in an instant, stared straight at the other boy, nodded vigorously and said, "Let him do it, teacher."
It was impossible for Zhou Sin to let them do it, but when the color block was added at the end, he let the boy swipe a few times. Even though the tattooed one was still very satisfied, his entire face was flushed red, and his lips were tightly pursed, looking nervous and excited.
Xiao Ke looked at them and sighed in his heart. The road ahead is difficult. I hope that young children will always carry such a desperate enthusiasm. The ring tattooed on the body represents eternal freedom rather than shackles.
That night, Xiao Ke pointed to the scar on his ankle and asked Zhou Sin why he didn't tattoo him.
He had asked this question several times, but he was blocked by Zhou Sin. This time Zhou Sin lightly touched his scar, looked into his eyes and said, "Don't carve anything on your body."
Xiao Ke raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why?"
Zhou Sin smiled lightly, and the air was still full of the charm after the intimacy. He rubbed Xiao Ke's ankle and said in a low voice, "No matter what is left on the body, it will last a lifetime. Carving something on the body is a kind of burden, and you will have to bear the wishes and thoughts of the time until you die. When the mind does not change, it is commemoration and giving. If the mind changes, it will be an eternal burden. Having such a thing on your body always reminds you of the mind that you no longer have, and this matter is painful."
Xiao Ke frowned and was about to speak, but Zhou Sin kissed him on the lips and continued, "I hope Teacher Xiao will be happy forever and feel free and easy after any choice."
