Chapter 137 Lily
When Yang Sheng returned home, it was lunch time.
When Yang Junhai and his wife saw their son come back for dinner, they were of course happy to prepare the meal. Yang Junhai also specially made their best braised pork.
Since the world has changed drastically, Yang Sheng rarely eats at home. He listens to his parents chatting about various trivial matters with his neighbors, and his heart is particularly warm, just like before.
No matter when, the warmth of the family is irreplaceable.
After dinner, Yang Sheng turned on his phone and planned to read the news again. There were too many things that happened in three years and he would never finish them.
Just before he opened the browser page, the ringtone of his cell phone rang, and the caller was a friend of his travelers.
This man is also a tattoo artist and met at a previous tattoo exhibition. He is about the same age as Yang Sheng, and his personality is quite consistent. He is also the kind of tattoo artist who studies hard.
The tattoo level is even higher than that of Yang Sheng before he got the broken divine character. Although the two of them don’t contact each other often, they occasionally discuss and communicate and learn from each other, so the relationship is pretty good.
Just while eating, Yang Sheng replied to some messages he had left to him before, and not long after, the phone rang.
"Hey, Dasheng, what are you doing recently? Why didn't you even have any news before? I sent you a message before, you just 'yes, ah' to deal with it. In the past two years, I have completely lost contact and no longer posting works on WeChat Moments. What's wrong, have you changed careers?"
As soon as the phone was answered, there were a series of questions opposite him.
"I haven't changed careers, but I've had some trouble in the past two years, and I've been delayed. But my skills have not fallen apart. You have to work hard, otherwise your level will not be as good as me, Lily." Yang Sheng smiled and said.
"I've said it many times, and called me Dongfang. Moreover, although your tattoo level has indeed improved a lot, it's almost the same as me at most. I've been resting for two or three years and want to surpass me. Are you dreaming? There are really everything in your dream."
Zhao Lili, male gender.
Yang Sheng accidentally saw his ID card and found out that his real name was. He had always called him Dongfang. Many tattoo artists would give him a pseudonym, which is not uncommon.
Yang Sheng was too lazy to afford it, so he called himself Dasheng.
Zhao Lili asked his family to change his name many times, but his family rejected it, saying that the name was calculated by his mother before her mother gave birth to him and could not be changed blindly.
After Yang Sheng learned about this situation, he secretly speculated that this was probably not when his parents offended the so-called master.
According to Zhao Lili, when he was in school, he kept telling others that his name was Zhao Li, and the teachers could understand it, so he usually called it that way. Zhao Li was written in his homework book, and Zhao Lili was written when filling in the materials.
Later, after graduating from college, he became a tattoo artist, and he immediately gave himself a pseudonym, called Dongfang, which means to inherit and carry forward Oriental tattoo culture.
After working as a tattoo artist in the master's store for two years, he opened his own tattoo shop called "Tokyo Tattoo".
Yang Sheng asked him what the store name meant, and he said: Isn’t my name Dongfang? This means that Dongfang is anxious to make money.
"Okay, I understand, it's the East where 'Sunrise East is the only one I'm invincible'. Why do you say, calling me is just to care about me, nothing else?" Yang Sheng asked with a smile.
Zhao Lili ignored Yang Sheng's joke: "Isn't it a long time since you didn't have any news, you suddenly came out, ask you what's going on?
"Also, this year's International Tattoo Exhibition is about to begin in more than three months. My buddy feels that after years of accumulation, what I have made now is still fine. I want to participate and see if I can win an award.
"By the way, ask what you mean, do you want to prepare a work and try it out, let's go together.
"Didn't you say you've improved again? Let's go together?
"We just went to see it before, but haven't participated. We'll try it this time. It's better to get a ranking. If you can't get a ranking, you can also give the masters some advice. You know what's wrong with you and keep working hard in the future. What do you think?"
Yang Sheng touched his chin and thought about it. He hadn't had a tattoo for a while. When Zhao Lili said this, he was quite itchy. He could take the time to make one and compete with experts from all over the world at the exhibition.
But I know that even if I do it now, it will not be much better than three years ago.
Three years ago, I was able to spun out a pattern as accurately as a printer, and I could also make good use of the body structure it carries. If I had to improve it further, it would be difficult.
"As long, then I'll prepare too. Which group of competition do you want to participate in?" Yang Sheng asked.
There are many categories of the International Tattoo Exhibition Competition to distinguish between size and area and style.
"I plan to join a black and gray realistic photo group, where are you?" Zhao Lili asked back.
In the International Tattoo Exhibition, the small picture group usually refers to a pattern with an area of no more than one piece of A4 paper, which can cover the side of the thinner thighs or wrap the entire forearm. In the eyes of the public, it is actually not small.
"I, I haven't thought about it yet. Maybe it's a color realistic picture group." Yang Sheng thought for a while and said.
"I'll go, are you okay? There are only three months left before the International Tattoo Exhibition begins. You still have to start designing and it takes time to restore it. Is it time?" Zhao Lili asked in surprise immediately.
For large color pictures, the entries are generally a flower arm, a full back, or a flower leg.
Such a large color tattoo, you have to strive for excellence in competitions, and the time it takes at least dozens of hours or even hundreds of hours.
This is usually not something that can be done in a row. If you prick for four or five hours a day, you will have to do it for at least twenty or thirty days. And it is not only a matter of time, but also consider the ability of the skin and the physical limits it carries.
Generally speaking, for a maximum of one week of work, you have to rest for more than one month before you can continue to work. After all, if you want to participate in the competition, you must wait until the work is restored, and it will take another month.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content below! There are still some minor flaws to be adjusted in the future to achieve perfection. It is normal for such a work to take more than a year from the beginning to the end.
Before Yang Sheng could speak, Zhao Lili suddenly realized and said, "Hey, have you been studying somewhere in the past two years and then preparing for the competition works?"
When he thought about it this way, he felt more and more that he was right, and his tone was a little unhappy: "I said, this is because you are not kind. I have been preparing to enter the entries for a long time, and I don't tell me, and I don't let me see it. I want to participate in the competition and I will tell you."
Yang Sheng smiled without explaining. He also knew that Zhao Lili had a temper and was not really angry: "Actually not, I really had something else in the past two years."
After thinking about it, Yang Sheng continued, "I am busy practicing. Now so many people in the world are practicing. Haven't you tried it?"
After hearing this, Zhao Lili suddenly said, "Hey, I forgot about this. You said you practice, but I think you can't have money.
"It costs money to practice. I didn't read the news that those big families and major forces finally emptied their family's wealth in order to practice, that is, they cultivated to become a first- and second-level demigod.
"Now the cultivation resources are hard currency that maintain value than gold. I earned these two money and wasted all of them. We craftsmen, honestly, can't starve to death.
"Look at those ordinary people who practice cultivation, they are indeed far superior to ordinary people after practicing their physical fitness, but what's the use? How many people can meet the first-level demigod standards? None of them is there in a thousand, right?
"Even if you can practice to level one or even level two, you can only find a better national position. Although the whole world is in chaos now, our country is still relatively stable and a country under the rule of law, unlike most countries that are almost out of control.
“And I have self-knowledge, I am not one in ten thousand.
"If you ask me, don't waste your time. Now the tattoo industry is on the rise. As more and more people practice, fewer and fewer people participate in formal work, and more people pursue personality and tattoos are also more and more people.
"If you have the time to do something, it's better to hurry up and improve your skills and earn more money.
"Unless you are the lucky ones who have obtained the fragments of the divine nature, I advise you not to join in the fun..."
Speaking of this, Zhao Lili suddenly stopped and thought of something.
He picked up his cell phone, put the phone in the background, and opened Yang Sheng's circle of friends.
