Baby's First Tattoo!

And I just realized he didn't even card me. He just took my word for it that I really was 18. Anyways! Todayyyy was the day :) JP was late, which freaked me out, but my some grace of Odin and Thor (Lolsace, tattoo art jokes), he finished it and I was out the door by 4:50. And it looks beautiful :)

Pain. The lineart wasn't horrible... I mean it sucked near the top and by the bone, but it was manageable. It wasn't pain, really, it was just this weird sensation of being uncomfortable and vibrating. At some points I could feel the buzzing in my bones. The shading part hurt less, and I found that when I listened to his stories, I felt less.

Truthfully, the art doesn't look like what I pictured it to be. But I still love this... It's beautiful and so well done. Who knows? Maybe I'll go back to him for another. He was so nice and wanted to see my portfolio sometime! Totally coming back :)

I won't regret this tattoo. It's roses, which are romantic and feminine, and ornate swirls, which I put on everything. It's one of my first signs of independence and an artistic gesture. Not to mention the feeling. The feeling of the needle... It made me feel so alive. I just felt so much.
