I have been wanting to get a tattoo for a long time. I researched it,( cause I’m like that), I looked at books, on-line, and polled friends with tattoos. I looked up every tattoo shop in the area and looked through many tattoo artists portfolios. I finally found both an idea for my tattoo and an artist whose style I really liked. Her work reminded me of Sunny Buick, whose work I love!
I brought my rough idea into Thrill Vulture Tattoo and Naomi worked on a drawing and finally came up with the perfect tattoo for me! So yesterday was finally the big day. I was a little sick to my stomach but had no second thoughts. I was more worried about the pain.Mostly because I didn’t know what to expect.
But once Naomi got started it really didn’t hurt much at all.
Especially once the outline was finished! There were a few tender spots near my wrist, but for the most part it was just sort of an annoying feeling. Then it was on to the color.
It took about 2 hours to finish.
Isn’t she pretty??!!!
She is my offering, my ode to death. She is part of my mid life crisis. And she needs a name! Molly thinks it should be Loco, Moco Madness or Mary Lou. Hmmm. I’ll have to think about that!
See I totally think Mardi Gras, partying and everything all blooming when I look at her– gorgeous!
I’m glad you’re happy and I think Mary Lou is lovely but I have to say those pictures make me a little nauseous. Tattoos — especially fresh ones — squick me out!!!!
Very cool!
God damn, that is a beautiful tattoo.
Oh my, I love all the color!! I’m glad you had this done instead of doing a child sacrifice or something like that to ward off death!
Thanks! awesome! You’re tattoo was fun! let me know when you are ready for more!
Love it!
Oh she is fanflippintastic! Now you have made me want another one. Good on ya woman!
Love how it turned out!
Aren’t you too young for a mid-life crisis?
That tattoo is beautiful!
Very cool!
I’m with Sheri, maybe this is a 1/3 life crisis?
[...] I like tattoos. My friend Kristen just got her first-ever tattoo. If you follow me on Twitter, you know she regrets not getting inked while she was in prison, but [...]
