I got my first tattoo! =D -[Pics]-

I got my first tattoo yesterday!

I got Kai and Kae's paw prints tattooed onto my arm. It took two days (and four baths) to get perfect prints from the two hairy Shelties! Since dogs will always be a huge part of my life, I know I'll never regret this. My plan is to get every future dogs' paw prints tattooed, working its way up my arms (and eventually my chest or back if I run out of room).

On to the pics!

Stencils! It took forever to find the right spot!

Kaedyn's was really hard to figure out where to put. One of the toes is naturally larger than the others so it kept throwing it off, making it look like it was crooked.

I love it! I can't wait until it's all healed up!

My mom also got one done right after me :D

I love it! The shading on the paws is amazing, makes them look so real! Your mom's tattoo is gorgeous as well. I wish my mom would get tattooed with me for my next one! ;)

That's the same idea that I want to do for my first!! :p That's the spot I wanted, too.. but I'm not allowed to do that with my job. I'll probably end up getting it on my upper arm.

I also hope for my mom to come along. She's wanted to get a turtle tattooed for the longest.

Your mom's piece is gorgeous!

It looks okay but I personnally wouldn't want one. The tattoo artist has some wild hair though! :eek: :eek:

I love the shading too Lindsey. :D I originally wasn't sure if I wanted solid black or shading but I'm glad I went with shading.

Nah, it wasn't too bad. I wouldn't really call it painful.. just an awkward feeling. But then again, I handle pain extremely well. :p

Thats awsome!!

My parents said I couldnt get mine done there cause it cant be covered up. They seem to think I'm going to get some office job. Even though I know I wouldnt cause I hate it. I want another one right below my elbow and something to resemble a animal, or a big horse on my back.
I like the spot your mom has hers, and I really like her design. they both lok REALLY awsome!!

I told my mom I wanted tattoos and she freaked :rolleyes:. Of course it would be a few years anyways. I handle pain horribly, but I want Roxy and Lily's faces as tattoos, just not sure where.
Anyways, love yours they look great! Love your mom's too! :D

The shop I went to is 100% female owned and operated. :D It's really great seeing women in the tattoo and piercing industry.
