YES!
my first tattoo is on my arm now!
FINALLY!!!!!
i really really like it even tough there is few teeny tiny mistakes
(my fault!).
anyway, those are easy to fix.
it did not hurt as much as i tought.
i will not post picture now since it is just few hours old,
red-ish and sore.

finally got my tat! overall I'm pretty pleased with the end result. altho I really loved the style and stylistic leaning of my artist, the dude was not very detail oriented which is a bummer since ya know tats are permanent and all.
Some tips I'd pass on to Tattoo Newbs:
keep in mind the importance of location/placement of tattoo esp in relation to joints, moving limbs and how stretching of skin effects the image.( tattoo images stretch side ways over time with the skin. So i would lengthen the overall image a tad given that it sits right below the crook of my inside elbow and their heads get smooshed a bit.)
i got the really horrible advice of to NOT look at the tattoo/needle in progress but thats the complete opposite of what one should be doing! watch every milisecond to ensure the artist is doing what YOU want. (ex the purse shape, details got skimmed over and the corpse's hollowed stomach was not pitch black in the original image I gave him or the transfer image).
So I'm going back in towards the end of the month to fine tune some of the details. As far as pain level, I've felt worse at the Dentist!
Moral of the Story: Watch Tattoo artist very carefully; don't assume they will follow the transfer image and be very clear from the beginning what YOU want.
i want to get this smaller figurine one next (based on the charles anastase for cK Choice 2004 campaign which I adored). I'm really into the loose, free form, non-tattoo looking stuff. the ink splatter effect would be a nice contrast to the clean lines and sharp edges. ck.choice04.jpg

I have a small tattoo on my wrist and I really love it! I'll post a crappy webcam picture when my webcam starts working again! Some lovely tattoo ideas/photos on here though. I'm inspired.
