I haven’t been on here in forever! I thought I’d update you all on the story of my first tattoo. I was on the waiting list for an in-demand artist for a year, and he finally called me up last week to get it started. So I went in today for a 3 hour session. He did the outline and the first round of shading. He got a lot done in just 3 hours. That’s cuz I took it on the ribs like a champ 😉
Like I said, I’m a total badass… what can I say?
Next session, he’s gonna add some more color. Blues and purples, a lot more black. The wing on top is still just a quick outline (we ran out of time), so he’ll clean that up too.
Oh, btw, it’s a raven!
thanks guys! Actually, the pain wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be… I wasn’t sure what to expect.
And don’t get me wrong, it did hurt… but it was bearable. Don talked to me pretty much the whole time, so my mind didn’t have time to dwell on the pain.
I’m going back in december to finish her up. Unless I can get in sooner on a cancellation.
Thanks for all the replies, guys! It was definately worse going over the bone than on the fleshy part of my side. But to me, it’s not worth sacrificing the placement because of the fear of pain.
Right now, it’s itchy as hell though. That’s by far worse than the needle. Ugh, someone get me some benadryl!
(lol, did you notice my big goofy dog in the background of the first pic?)
