Chapter 959: Writing Calligraphy on the Spot
The tattoo artist is also an artist. The Chinese characters on Bang's tattoo are too crude and there is suspicion of plagiarism, but for other patterns, he has a very high artistic level. He is especially good at hand-drawing his own original animals and portraits. The Jesus on Jason's abdomen, the head of Bodhidharma on his arm, and the line of words 'God? Who? Strengthens? Me' are all his very famous masterpieces, and countless tattoo artists around the world follow his example.
The problem is that in recent years, more and more customers want to tattoo Chinese characters on their bodies. Every now and then, someone consults Bang or, like Jason, asks him to design Chinese character patterns.
Bang only went to the tenth grade and was a high school dropout. He hadn’t even read many books on English and American literature, so how could he understand Chinese characters?
It is said that if you don't have the right tools, don't take on the job, but everyone's needs must be met, otherwise it will affect his reputation among old customers. So Bang boasted that there was no problem, and Chinese characters were a piece of cake.
He gritted his teeth and searched for Chinese characters on the Internet, learned from the works of other tattoo artists, and picked out artistic fonts from the Microsoft character library for his own use. After all, the clients couldn't understand them like him, so they just wanted it to look cool and unique.
But recently he has felt that he has run out of tricks. He can fool people for a while, but he cannot do it for long. What if he tattoos something ambiguous or negative and it is discovered and he becomes a laughing stock, his clients will tear him apart!
Bang considered whether to hire a teacher who is good at Chinese at the university or directly hire a Chinese person as a Chinese character consultant in the store, but he did not have many connections in education and academia. Usually, top students and Chinese people rarely have tattoos. Bang has been a bad boy since he was young. He never dealt with top students and had no Chinese friends.
When he was having the worst headache, Jason brought him hope.
Bang walked up to Liu? and held out his hand to her with a big smile on his face. "Hello, beautiful princess. Nice to meet you."
...
...
Although his address was humorous and his expression was friendly, Liu couldn't help but feel scared when she saw a man covered in tattoos so close to her. Her predecessor had seen many science fiction disaster movies, and the monsters and villains in them looked like this. No matter how kind his smile was, he looked extremely hideous with a face full of colorful tattoos. Liu suddenly felt that compared to this man, Jason's tattoos looked too gentle.
Even though she was a little scared, she still reached out and held Bang's hand, "Hello, Mr. Frost, Princess is my online name, you can just call me Man."
Bang smiled, "Okay, ?, but you're a princess in my eyes."
He did not mean to flatter Liu?. People who engage in art are particularly pursuing beautiful things and are particularly picky. Only real beauties can make him praise sincerely. He thinks Liu?'s appearance is perfect, like a fresh and lovely white rose, a very clean white, like white paper. Her eyes are shining, like two dazzling gems, and her face is full of purity. Although she is wearing ordinary clothes and carrying a student-like backpack, she is still beautiful and pure, with a truth that is treated gently by the world. A girl with such temperament must be born into a wealthy or noble family.
No wonder Jason chased her all the way to China, but gave up halfway. She is not compatible with them at all!
Bang praised Liu again, "I follow your YouTube, I am your fan, I have watched every one of your videos, but my favorite is the one you posted last night, "Spring River Moon Night". Your calligraphy is exquisite and really opened my eyes."
Liu thought, no wonder so many celebrities like his tattoos. She was just a passerby who came to the United States for a short stay and would never take care of his business, but he was so polite. He really had high emotional intelligence and was very good at dealing with people.
She quickly complimented him, "Mr. Harmer mentioned you to me this morning, saying that you are a great tattoo artist."
Jason: “???” When did he say that? Why doesn’t he know?
Bang believed it and was very happy. He said to Jason, "My dear brother, I will give you a 10% discount on your purchase today."
Jason raised an eyebrow, not appreciating it, "You've never given me a discount before."
"That's because you didn't let me meet this lady before," Bang shrugged, "Perhaps you will treat me more favorably in the future."
"What are your plans?"
