UPDATE:
Ok so I lied, I didn't get them done 1-2 at a time once a week until they were done, I went all out & got all the paw prints done at once. lol So now there are 13, yes lucky #13, prints but after looking at it for a couple days I may be able to squeeze in 2 more without them going below my ankle or above my knee.
Before too long this leg will be covered & completed. The artist will be working on drawing up Nooks portrait and I have tons of ideas for more tats to be added. This will be my "dog leg" lol. It will eventually also include Raustyk's big fat wet nose, some dog bones, a dogs eye (not sure whos yet) as well as something to do with Kaige, not sure what that will be just yet though to name a few. And most likely some shading will be on some pieces to help fill it in. The artist has a few other dog ideas & he's going to try to put a few things together for me.
I was amazed, I was expecting a few of them to hurt a lot, none of them hurt even half of much as I thought they would. The one near the back of my knee was the most bothersome but even that one didn't hurt that much. But boy oh boy I didn't think they would be this tight/sore the first couple days and possibly into the next couple days. Not that they really hurt hurt but they are sore. I never realized how much your leg bumps against things (and being clumsy with rambunctious dogs does not help either) or how much I toss & turn while I sleep. And the one on the back of the knee, never realized you move your knee that much. lol It's still way worth it though and I can not wait to get more!!
On with the new pics:
work in progress:
All done: there are more bare spots than I thought there would be (but like I said it will be filled in) but it really does look a lot better in person. It's hard to get pics of something that wraps around something.
very bottom & top showing, although you can't see the last one & only part of the second to last one:
Middle view:
Top, you can't see the very top one on this pic though:

I met up with a couple of my animal loving friends this past Sunday & we got new ink. I don't have pics of their tats with me but here's mine:
Here's the pics of my new tats, the middle paw print was already there but she did touch it up for me. I will be getting additions, eventually the prints will be "walking" up my leg, in a spiral type fashion. There will be about 1-2 added below those 3 then about 7-9 added above them. Hopefully I can get 1-2 done each week.
I plan to get a tribal drawing of Nanooks head & neck (almost wolf like) with a hidden polar bear design in his fur (thats what his name means in Inuit) on the back of my calf. So his head will kind of be surrounded by paw prints.
They aren't the best, it's a little difficult to take pics at an angle & upside down. lol
Oh & the top paw print is at a different angle, I needed it that way in order for them to "crawl" up my leg properly & not interfere with the tat that I will be getting on my calf.
