My new tattoos UPDATE WITH MORE

[JenBKR]

Sue those pawprints look awesome! I love it

[lv4dogs]

I love it! Now will you convince my hubby to let me get a tat?

No problem, how do I contact him?

[christa]

Very cool! Love it! I'd love to have one but I think I'm too big of a baby! I've always wanted one across the small of my back.

I love it, Sue!

Looks Great!

[pnance]

They look great!! He did a really good job. I have a question though, I've heard the closer to bone you get a tattoo the more painful it is, any idea if there's any truth to that?

[finn's mom]

I love them!

Very cool! I just had some work done myself.

Here is the first part, it's Marc Anthony from the Looney Tunes:


A blurry close-up:


Just yesterday I had the cute little kitty added (Pussyfoot), in three poses as a band around my arm. I'll take some pics!

[Cheshirekatt]

Here are some more pics. I had to take pictures with my arm up over my head to get the one towards the back of my arm, so it's hard to see how they all fit together in these. When I've got help, I'll have someone take pictures so you can see how they all relate to each other.

I still have to decide whether or not I want some background in between the kitties. I'm pretty sure I do....I just have to decide what.

Yes there is truth to that, obviously because there is less "padding". The muscle is another sensative spot, mainly only if you are really tone. And areas where the skin is thinner, inner elbow, behind the knee, inner arm up near the armpit, etc...
BUT it also depends on your pain tollerence too. Everyone is different.

The worst area so far for me was the inner arm when I had my partial arm band done. Back then they didn't have tables either so I had to hold my arm for an hour or so, I'm sure that didn't help much either. lol Even still I would never say that any of my tattoos actually hurt, they would just get a little bothersome/sore/irritated after a bit. I do have a failry high pain tollerence too but I still wouldn't say they really hurt as I know a lot of people with no pain tollerence that have had tats done & even they said the same thing, it didn't really hurt just irritating, almost like rubbing an area over & over again or touching a slight sunburn. And thats what they feel like the first couple days of healing, like a slight sunburn. After 1-3 days though you usually don't feel a thing.

Kat, those are great tats! I love them!! I wanna get Spike & the little dog tattooed some day, the cartoon where the little dog jumps over Spike the bulldog, saying "where we goin' spike, huh huh can I go" LOL



christa, If you really have no pain tollerence I would not reccomend getting your first tat on the small of your back... well maybe if you are prepared for it or even if it is a small tattoo. That would be a little sensative, not only is your bone close to the surface but the skin is a little thinner back there as well, that is if you are on the slim side. It's not really that bad & I don't mean to scare you but a larger piece in that area for a first timer that is not good with pain at all may not be the best route to take. I'd probably start off with a smaller on in a less sensative spot just to get a feel for it.

I'm really thinking of getting a tattoo now *darn you*
However I want to get back to "my" healthy weight so it wont get all freaking looking as I loose a bit of weight.

I get monthly bonus' of 100.00 so I can get a nice one, I'm thinking on my arm, it'll be of Axle & of my own sketch (so I can get the marking correct). I want it to say, "Axle, Common Snapping Turtle, June 1999 - "

Any tats I may get will all be of my own sketches I like my stuff too much

Ok now I have to come to Indiana. lol I was planning on going there after the Findlay meeting this May but my friend who I was going to visit there just moved to Ohio and my finances don't allow another extra trip at the moment. I wills tart saving for another trip though, possibly to indinana.

Love it!

I want to get a print of Simba's paw (from ink & paper) and have the artist tattoo it in a similar area of your's. I may get the girl's too, but Simba for sure. (He's my boy just like Nook is your's. )
