I know we have threads, and I know we talk about them in different places, but......here we are.
Now that I just have touch ups left on my chest, I'm trying to decide what to get to cover up my little blip of a tat. on my hip. I think I want to get something that ties in with my chest piece.
eta: I deleted that creepy picture. It was just too creepy!
It's this afternoon! I just finished work, I wish I'd booked more work for this morning haha it's not easy trying to kill several hours beforehand... having a good meal and gonna watch a crappy film I think :)
Thanks for the facebook wishes! I really appreciate it :D I might have to delete it from my wall though coz I haven't been telling anyone yet :P So if it goes it's not coz it was unloved! Just coz I tell my VW friends more than my RL friends ;)
I'm amazed that I'm not terrified or even all that nervous. I'm just kinda a little excited, a little not quite in reality yet, and have a few tummy butterflies. So I think that means I'm ready for this :)
haha, sweet....
I think it definitely sounds like you are ready : )
I think probably a bit of nerves will come when you're there, but not really, because it's a nice relaxing comfortable place, so they'll put you at ease. Take your ipod if you think it'll help. Also, a little medicinal tequila with lunch shouldn't hurt ; )
Eeeeeeeeeee. I cannot wait to see it!
DONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Omg I love it :D It was way quicker than I expected and it looks beautiful. It is all bleedy and I'm at Mr Theo's house at the mo so no pics yet...but it looks just like my drawing only coloured and on me!
Ohmygosh YAY!
Pictures ASAP!!!
Ok guys...here we are :D
So hard to take photos of your side! This one is in the mirror, so it's flipped and the colours are dampened by the flash reflection:

This one shows what the colours are really like, but I had to twist around to take it so the tattoo is all stretched unevenly haha:

omg soooo cuteee!!!!
Looks great! I'm glad you were able to find a good artist to do it for you.
wow, that really is amazing.
I especially love the piggy : )
haha, I told you Buzzy was good! : )
Yea! I am so impressed. (And the other artists were all impressed at how clean her lines were over my ribs). Thanks so much for the recommendation!
:D Yea piggie is my favourite. He also hurt the most haha.
Vh and KMK - thanks so much! :D
hehe, awesome. What was the total time? They're fast, but there's a lot of detailing/shading, and I know that can take a while. Any which way, it looks fantastic and I hope you're super happy with it!!
You don't even look too swollen/red, it's healing really nicely already : )
Ahhhhhhh, it is so freaking pretty!! I love love love love love it times a billion and am jealous of its amaizngnesss.
(vh, we shall have pictures of our tattoo adventure on here one day! *cough* next month *cough*)
Um about 1.5 hours with a break in the middle? I was astonished at the time. I really really love it, more every time I look! And yea it's healing awesome, the only red bit (by the 8 ) is actually a faint birthmark I have. I have also been astonished by how painless the whole process has been - there were bits that hurt while she did it but not unmanageably, and since it was done I've just felt a little bruised but no real pain. And everyone was telling me how terrible it is on the ribs! I'm grateful it wasn't.
uS, thanks! Ooh what are you and vh plotting?
Awesome! :)>>>
