Animated tattoo artist origin story from @cevrico

The creator presents a 3D animated story where a young, unskilled tattoo artist gets rejected by multiple people until a heavily tattooed man accepts a free tattoo. After messing up the tattoo, the kid is taken in by a mentor, undergoes a training montage to improve his skills, and eventually becomes highly successful, culminating in the original man returning for another tattoo and the creator asking the audience if they would trust him.

Transcript excerpt

Bro, can I give you a free tattoo? I'm trying to get my first client. Bro, that thing looks like it came out of a dumpster. Free tattoo? Absolutely not. Please, just one. Better that thing away from me. You said free? I've already got 30 tattoos. What's one more? Bro, I promise you won't regret this. What the hell is that? I've got 30 tattoos and this is the worst one. Maybe I'm just not meant to do this. Kid, everybody tier somewhere. I'll teach you. Again, you're getting better. Bro, I've been waiting three hours for Aiden. Wait, you're the kid who messed up my tattoo? Yeah, bro. I've gotten a little better. Good you trust me with the tattoo? Comment yes or no.
