Getting my tat on thursday!

I finally decided on a design (a black-art rose with celtic knotwork around it)!!!!! My appointment is on thursday at noon! YAY!

Yaaaay! You should totally take pictures. Probably wait til it's healed, though. Or at least until after it stops bleeding. One of my friends keeps posting pictures of her new ink right after she gets it, and it's still bleeding a bit, and I'm like.. 'ew. But it'll be pretty when it's healed!'

LOL! My sis is going with me, so I'm sure she'll get lots of pics of the "during". LOL!

I don't usually bleed much with tats, though. Although this one is slightly bigger with more inkspace, though.

My sister said I didn't bleed much with the one on my back, but getting my wrist done bled a lot. Maybe it's something to do with the colors? Coz my back is just black and gray. I've heard white makes everyone bleed, though. Wonder why..

Maybe, since all I've got is black ink. One day I plan on having a tat on each inner wrist, so I can test to see if it's location that matters.

ooooooh, that'll hurt like hell, trust me! My wrist was swollen for three days after getting my flowers done.. Idiot that I am, I want to get something added to the underside, and it'll probably be the same artist that did the flowers because I'm weird like that.

I heard that it hurts. I want the Wheel of Hekate on one wrist, and the Elven Star on the other:

That's so incredibly you, it's perfect!

thank you! First, I get the rose.....then I work on getting those two.

I want to see when it's all done and healed!!! Hope everything goes well!

One more sleep 'til my tattoo!!!! Yay!

YEY!
I dont care if its all manky, post pics asap!
damn i want one! but i have no clue what so no tattoo for aaaages yet!

Here it is!



I got there at noon, and the guy doing it didn't get there 'til nearly 12:30pm. Then he had to draw it (because he didn't have the actual knotwork circle drawn out yet). He started tattooing me around 1:15pm, and it only took about a half hour.

He did a fantastic job! I was sooooo pleased! And he was adorable, I wanted to take him home and keep him in my closet....heeheehee.

that is gorgeous.
i honestly wasnt sure how it would look as some of the suggested pics were a bit to me and I wasnt keen but it looks fabby!

and the rose kind of reminds me of the one in beauty and the beast which is cool

i reeeeally reeeeeally love it Shauna!
its very you!

where it is exactly? hard to tell...looks like its at the bottom of your neck, between your shoulders?

I was about to say!! that beauty and the beast rose!! YES...
it looks really cute! is that the back of your neck? i totally want something there, but i hear that's one of the most painful spots (over the spine)

Yup, it's between my shoulder blades. It's actually MUCH bigger than what I originally wanted, but I LOOOOOVE it!!!!

It actually didn't hurt much (even though it's over 2 of my fibro pain points). It hurt more when he leaned on my back with his arm...LOL! I had to sit backwards on a chair, which kinda made my legs super stiff, too. But the tat itself didn't hurt much at all!

Beauty and the Beast rose? I'll have to google that!

OMG Shauna I love it!!!

it does look pretty big, not huge, but I think it looks good this way, any smaller and you'd probably lose some detail

Wow, that's beautiful!

Awwww...thanks everyone! I'm so proud of it, and it's not itchy at all (the tattoo goo rocks! If anyone gets a tat, use it!). I'm already planning my next one!

oooooh what of?!

i couldnt find a good pic of the rose but it definately reminds me of it.

Next one is the Hekate's wheel on my left inner wrist (I think I posted a pic on page 1).

oh i thought you said you had that already!

apparewntly not!

it looks cooool i like it.
and again, very you!

Looked for the Beauty and the Beast rose, and didn't find it. but I did find this!
