Another Tattoo Session

Saturday was my latest tattoo session. I had another 2 and a half hours worth done which included colouring the dragon and a bit of shading and highlighting around my back. Wow, was it painful around the base of my back and I will be glad when it is all done. That was my last session of the year and my next session is in January 2008 and he told me that the next session should finish my back (until I decide on the rest of the design around my ribs) and my leg should be started after that. So the total so far is 11 hours of work and £600.

Latest Tattoo Session

Saturday the 8th of September was my third session on my back. Wow this one really hurt, more for the after shock as much as during the tattoo session. He tattooed all over my back and it was sore everywhere, but it was later that night that I started to feel really ill. I guess my body went into a kind of shock as I felt so tired, sick and ached everywhere so I was in bed at 10 and had a bit of a rough night as I seemed to keep rolling onto my back (I tried to sleep on my side). They say no pain no gain so I guess this one lived up to that quote! So up to now I've had eight and a half hours worth of tattooing and cost £480. Next session is in October

Tattooed

I had my back tattooed on Saturday, 3 and a half hours of pain, strange feelings and burning and my tattooist managed to get the outline and some shading done. The design looks awesome and I am really pleased with it. I still can't believe that I have got a tattoo on my back. Tonight I am at the itching stage, but I can't itch any of it as I will bring the scab off and pull some colour out of it. Next session is at the end of June for 2 hours but looking forward to it.

Tattoo Time

This month I need to really decide the design for my next tattoo, my back. I want a Japanese samurai warrior fighting a dragon on my back. It will be the full length of my back and full colour. I have been going through my designs but haven't seen anything to say "that is the design". My appointment is booked for June and I need some rough ideas and design so we can get started. I have a four hour tattoo session booked and I guess it will take and hour to decide the right design and placing. I must go over to my tattooist next week and look through his books and talk over any ideas he might have. I am really looking forward to this as this is a dream come true.
