The tattoo artist is also an artist, Bang tattoo Chinese character Taicai, suspected of plagiarism, but for other patterns, he has a very high artistic standard, especially good at hand-painting his own original animal and human portraits, Jason's belly of Jesus, the head of Dharma on the arm, and the line of words 'GodWhoStrengthensMe', are his very famous masterpieces, countless tattoo artists around the world have emulated this.

The problem is that in recent years, more and more customers want to tattoo Chinese characters on their bodies, and every once in a while, people ask Bang to design Chinese character patterns or, like Jason, ask him to design Chinese character patterns.

Bang only went to the tenth grade, belonged to high school, and didn't even read a few books of English and American literature, how can he understand Chinese characters?

It is said that there is no diamond, don't do porcelain work, but everyone's needs can not be satisfied, otherwise it will not affect his reputation among the old customer group?

Searching for Chinese characters on the Internet, borrowing from the works of other tattoo artists, and picking out the artistic fonts from Microsoft's character library for their own use, those customers can't read it anyway, just like him, they just want to look cool and different.

But recently, he has felt that Qian donkey's skills are poor, and he can fool people for a while, and he can't do it like this for a long time, in case he tattoos something ambiguous and negative, and is found out and makes jokes, his customers must not tear him apart!

Bang considered whether to go to the university to hire a teacher who was good at Chinese or directly ask the Chinese to be the Chinese character consultant in the store, but he had no connections in education and academics, usually Xueba and Chinese rarely tattooed, Bang was a bad boy since he was a child, never dealt with Xueba, and had no Chinese friends.

When he felt the most headache, Jason brought him the light of day.

Bang walked up to Liu Yan and stretched out his hand to her with a smile on his face, "Hello, beautiful princess, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”

Although his title is witty and his expression is very friendly, Liu Yan still can't help but feel angry when she sees a person with tattoos all over her body so close to her, her former master has watched a lot of sci-fi disaster movies, and the monsters and villains in it are like this, no matter how kind his smile is, with colorful tattoos on his face, he looks extremely hideous, Liu Yan suddenly felt that compared to this person, Jason's tattoos looked too gentle.

Even though she was a little scared, she reached out and shook Bang's hand, "Hello, Mr. Frost, Princess is my screen name, you can just call me Man." ”

Bang laughed, "Okay, Yan, but you're a princess in my eyes." ”

He didn't mean to praise Liu Yan in these words, people who engage in art are particularly pursuing beautiful things, and they are also extremely picky, and what can make him sincerely praise is only true beauty, he thinks that Liu Yan's appearance can be called perfect, like a fresh and lovely white rose, it is the kind of very clean white, like white paper, her eyes are shining, like two bright gems, her face is full of purity, although she is wearing ordinary clothes, carrying a student-like schoolbag, she is still beautiful and pure, with the truth that is treated gently by the world, a girl with such a temperament, born either rich or noble。

No wonder Jason chased her to China, and gave up halfway, choosing to give up, she didn't match them at all!

Bang praised Liu Yan again, "I follow your YouTube, I am your fan, I have watched every video of yours, I like your "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night" released last night, your calligraphy is exquisite, it really opened my eyes." ”

Liu Yan thought, no wonder so many celebrities like his tattoos, she is a passer-by who came to the United States for a short stay and will never take care of his business, he is also so polite, he is really emotionally intelligent and will come to things.

She hurriedly complimented, "Mr. Harmer also mentioned you to me in the morning, saying that you are a great tattoo artist. ”

Jason: "????" When did he say that, and how did he not know?

Bang was so happy that he said to Jason, "My dear brother, I'm giving you a 10% discount on today's purchases. ”

Jason raised an eyebrow, unappreciative, "You've never discounted me before." ”

"That's because you didn't let me know this young lady before," Bang shrugged, "maybe you'll get more preferential treatment in the future." ”

"What are your plans?"

......

The speed of communication between the two people was extremely fast, Liu Yan couldn't keep up with the rhythm, standing next to her like a fool, she simply walked around, visited the furnishings in this room, the first time she came to the tattoo place, she still had a bit of novelty in her heart.

This is Bang's private office, at the end of the second floor of the store, relatively hidden, and when they entered, Liu Yan noticed a sign hanging on the door, which read, "Private, no entry". The most eye-catching thing in the office is the tattooed photos of an entire wall, which Bang must have designed for his clients, and Liu Yan looked up and found some of Jason's patterns.

Jason called to her, "Man, let's get started, you can write on this table." ”

"Oh, okay," Liu Yan took off her schoolbag and took out the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

Bang emptied his desk, he couldn't wait to see Liu Yan write calligraphy. He was curious about Liu Yan's writing tools, and asked this and that, Jason didn't understand, Liu Yan patiently explained to the two of them, Bang was amazed at the magic, "It turns out that this carbon rod is equivalent to ink, and this long-haired pen is equivalent to an absorbent pen." ”

After learning the use of inkstone and ink strips, Bang personally helped Liu Yan prepare a cup of cold water, and took the initiative to help her study ink, he learned quickly, after a while, the inkstone was full of ink, if this scene was seen by Bang's subordinates and apprentices, it must have been a big surprise, when did their boss have been so affectionate to women, last time a famous American diva asked him to get a tattoo, because there was no appointment, he refused.

Liu Yan stood in front of the table, two tattooed men with high noses and deep eyes stood on either side of her, like two door gods, staring at her every move with blazing eyes, she was sweating, when she participated in the calligraphy competition, she didn't feel that she was so valued.

Liu Yan asked Jason which font to choose.

"The kind of font you wrote in the video," Jason said, before he realized a question, "could you have any other fonts?"

Liu Yan nodded, "Yes, I also know two fonts, namely italic and liti, the font I posted on the Internet is seal, which is what I am best at, and the other two are still in the process of learning, which are at the apprentice level." ”

Jason was thinking about it, and before he could speak, Bang preemptively said, "Can you write down all three fonts and let J pick them?"

"Yes," Liu Yan had nothing to hesitate about, just eight words in total, and it would not be troublesome to write three times.

Her cheerfulness made Bang even more fond of her, he was in the tattoo business, and he hated serving the customers of Mo Ji and Thing B the most, but he didn't think that this time it would be the other way around, and he and Jason would have Mo Ji and B again.
