Tattoos

I have more piercings b/c they are not permanent. And I went in knowing that people are curious and will ask questions about pericings and tattoos. That doesn't bother me at all. I actually have fun explaining the process of how they did it and why I got it and stuff. That is one thing that does annoy me. People who get irritated with people who ask questions about visible tattoos or piercings shouldn't be getting them. It's all part of the deal when you get piercings or tattoos, you get the curiosity from people around you. :)

I totally agree! I love the curiosity! And I love the look on peoples faces when I tell them that I did my lip by myself! They just give me this look like "OMG...you really are insane!" LOL!

And the permanence is also one thing why I don't understand why so many people have a problem with my piercings and stuff! I've got 11 as of now, and looking for more (I wanna get my tragus or rook done) and I have all of these relatives that have tattoos, and they have a problem with all of my piercings. One of them is actually a licensed tattoo artist, and he gives me dirty looks about them too. My arguement is, I can take them out if I want, and you can't take out a tattoo on a whim or for a job. (Not that I'm opposing tattoos, as I think they rock, and definitely want one or two in the future) And their arguement is, "Tattoos have meaning !" So do my piercings! Arg!

P.S. I got new lip rings lastnight! I'll take a pic later when I'm not all crappy looking from PE...

Me either, very original!
I was thinking wrist next, but I'm not sure how safe it is, anyone have any experience?
 
Thank you goddess! I trust my tattooist enough to object if he wasn't sure, but just thought I'd ask while I was here :)

I really thought my 5th would be my last as well.. :laugh: I'd better choose something pretty.
 
i have no plans to stop getting tats. i don't know if i'll get more once my 'goddess' is finished on my lower sleeve - as i get them when i am inspired to do so... all my tats hold great meaning for me.

i do expect, however, for it to be a few years before i'm inspired to get another one... this one is 7 months in the works and still not finished... so i certainly don't want to start another anytime soon LOL

whatchagetting on your wrist?
 
7 months, goodness me! Do you have photos after every stage? It must be so interesting to have one progressing for soo long. And frustrating, too! I'd want it finished!

I'm toying with a few ideas, I'll have to do some research and then spend the obligatory 10 hours creating the design in photoshop before I settle on anything. With it being somewhere highly visable, I think it would have to be something poignant (to me) in Latin.. A picture design wouldn't go there in my mind's eye. And I've got too small wrists to get anything substantial :laugh:

Oh-oh.. It begins!!
 
okay so here's a step by step process... left to right...

started with blue rather than black to create the lines... then we added more blue and some yellow. then the red in the wings... then white all over to tone it down and make it seem more "watercoloured" - finally we have added the cloak and still have at least two more sessions for more work on the cloak and the wings need more details.

it's been a long haul but she's transforming from the inside out!

it's been hard, as many of the stages were not attractive to have on my arm for a month before we did more work... and since we didn't work on her in december... it was two months between that stage.

but the point is to have layers of colours and well... just allow Her to appear... and it's teaching me patience and trust in a big way. ;) all in all, it's been a wonderful journey.
 
This is my 1st. I got it about a month ago. Sorry the pic sucks, it was taken while it was still healing. I haven't taken any new ones yet. I'm getting another tat Mar 21st. Its going to be a Koi fish with 3 Norse runes around it.

Wow you can say that again!! It would frustrate me having to wait so long (I go 3 months tops before the craving for a new one comes back). I can imagine it's been difficult.

Can't wait to see her finished, she's going to look spectacular.
