The email arrived in the middle of a particularly dreary Tuesday. Sarah had been feeling a bit deflated lately. The rejections were piling up, and she'd almost convinced herself to quit. This email changed everything. It came from a tattoo artist who had a client wanting to get one of her designs.

She re-read the message, her fingers trembling slightly. Finally, she took a shaky breath and opened the attachment. A photograph of a beautifully executed tattoo, her intricate floral pattern blooming across someone's shoulder. A jolt, like electricity, coursed through her. A goofy smile stretched across her face.

She felt a giddy urge to tell someone, *anyone*. She grabbed her phone, ready to start calling everyone she knew.
