My First Tattoo

Well, I survived the tattoo!!! I'm not gonna lie, it did hurt. But it was worth any ounce of pain. And within an hour after getting it, I was totally pain free. I was so excited they let us take pictures in the shop.

Here I am getting ready. Right now he's just putting on the transfer and getting things prepped...so I'm still all smiles.

This is pretty much the face I made through the whole thing...lol! I shut my eyes, bit my lip and squeezed my leg. But no tears :)

The outline was the worst part, but the shading wasn't quite as bad. I managed a half smile here while he's doing the shading.

And I'm all smiles at the end :)

 For those that didn't catch my Friday post, this is a memorial tattoo for my brother. He loved tattoos and Freebird by Lynyrd Skynyrd was always his song. He sure would have loved my tattoo!

    The bird looks great - is it your design? I'm just asking, because it's the same as your necklace :)
    ((hugs))

  5. that looks great!! Thats actually where I have my tattoo. Mine is a crescent moon. I got it 2hrs before my 21st birthday. The outline hurt the most and then the coloring wasn't so bad.

  20. Aww, your necklaces matches, too.

    What a sweet idea, and I think you handled the pain really well! Outlines are always horrible.
