Blog 1: Summer Mentorship Component
Assignment:
Dates: Aug. 20 - Sept. 1
Total Hours: 12
Since I shouldn't really give tattoos to anyone all I did was observe my mentor give tattoos to others. He'd just tips like making sure the person is handling the pain correctly and how to set up the tattoo gun things like that. For the most part he did simple tattoos while I was there.

What questions were raised because of the 10 hours of experience? List them.
- How do tattoo artist cover up tattoos?
- How is the ink non-toxic? What is it made of?
Interpretive
What is the most important thing you gained from this experience? Why?
I would have to say attention to detail and patience. Attention to detail because you want the person to get exactly what they want so they're satisfied with their tattoo. Patience because you have to take you time, tattoos are permanent and expensive/painful to remove, and you do not want to mess up.
Applied
How did what you did help you choose a topic? Please explain.
I liked going to see people getting tattoos, learning about them, and the art but, I don't think I will be doing this for my senior project. I've decided to do public services specifically fire fighters due to the fact that I am interested in it, no special reason.
