It's a good pain.

Yay! Outline and shading is done!

All I can say is that it hurt more than the tattoo on my arm but less than the one on my ankle. [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com], I just want you to know I just about died when he was doing the crossing of those tails. Ouch. Serious ouch (but I still love you).

This was after about 2 hours-- just the outline.


And here it is with the shading done (omg, I love my star!!!):


I'll go back and get the coloring done next month, February latest. Didn't I tell you it was the best thing ever?

The tattoo was done by Carlos at Black Rose Tattoo here in Tucson in case you were wondering. :D

Oh . . . I should probably clarify that my point about the size is PURELY about my perrsonal wimpiness with pain. That's why I'm getting a small one, so I don't have to cry like a girl for hours and hours and hours, I'll only have to cry for . . . a couple of hours. Or however long it takes to get a little tattoo.

:D

I had to work up to this one; I have two smaller tattoos. :p

This one took 3 hours to get to this point and probably another 2 for coloring later. My smaller tattoos took a lot less time so there's nothing to worry about. The little capricorn I have on my arm took 35 minutes, the arm band for it was an hour and something. I can't remember how long the Nefertiti took, but it was under 2 hours for sure.

So...

LJ just spontaneously posted! Omg, that was strange.

Anyway, I say get your tattoo if you really want one. There's nothing wrong with small-- unless it's a butterfly. I hate those damn things. :p
