Yay tattoo pics!
3 hours to get the stencil on right and another three (or so) to get the outline done. I go back on the 3rd to start filling it in :D

3. Woohooo!
Congrats, looks good so far! I always hate the multiple sitting tattoos, I always want them done NOW! Of course, I only have about a 3.5hr sitting tolerance, so all big pieces I get end up taking multiple sittings. Have fun sleeping tonight!

6. Yea, I totally agree
now that it's started, I want it all the way done! I got it last night, and I slept some on my back no problems. I do well healing, but I'm exhausted from it.

All those endorphins pumping and then I'm just wiped out. I always go home and sleep for 3 hours.

25. This requires some explanation
In my novel there are people on Mars that have an underground society that is about 2000 years more advanced than ours. These people are human except that they have stripes of raised spots covered with soft hair that run from behind the ears, down the spine to points at the tail-bone. They branch at the base of the neck, running down the top of the shoulders and branch at the bottom of the ribcage, wrapping around a little to the chest. I call them the lacaesha.

When I sell this book, my first book check is going toward having these spots tattooed on my back just as I described. I'm a "ginger kid", so I have spots (freckles) already - and I was thinking about getting the artist to use browns and reds - no black - to just texture the freckles into theses spots.

I really can't wait - it will probably take a few sessions but they should look really cool and provide a physical attachment to my art.

20. Dude. You DO know that the FBI uses tats as identification, yes?
Reason #1 why I don't have any.

27. Cool!
My mom didn't know what to get me for my birthday, so I told her she could pay for my tattoo (I'm getting it this spring). She declined the offer.

Is yours going to be colored or black?

28. If I had a tattoo, it would look like this...


Not sure why cave art hasn't become popular in the tattoo world.

I'm too old for such things myself.

49. Yeah, Dali was my introduction to surrealism...
And surrealism is a major influence on my own art. I'm thinking eventually I'll have two half sleeves that are a collage of surrealist art.
