This is my very first tattoo (and my first post!). I’ve been thinking about the design for some years now, and I finally decided to go for it without further ado.

A friend of mine did it, she’s a tattoo apprentice at the local tattoo and piercing shop (which is part of a Norwegian tattoo/piercing studio chain). I had seen her earlier work so I knew she was getting pretty good, I would never have gone to a random apprentice.

It took 6 hours, with several breaks. Phew! And it was really painful at the end. But I don’t care, I love the result! 🙂 I paid $560 for it (apprentice price plus friend price :p).

So far it seems to heal well. I got it on Friday, and so far there has been no noticeably plasma, no itching and no scabbing. But it’s still pretty fresh, so I guess the itching, peeling and scabbing is gonna come later.

By the way, it’s a moth – not a butterfly :p
So, what do you think of it?

EDIT: The price had somehow disappeared, haha.
