    I would like to get another one soon, but I need to find an artist to draw it up for me.

    I went for the whole thing at once! easier for me since after a few minutes of the outline the area went numb. I fell asleep during the coloring process

    Me too! I got both of mine in 1 day, but the thought of pain doesn't scare me like it does Kalei.

    I love it! It's unique, too. That is cool about your friend.

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.

    Good Luck!

    As for the pain, I didn't think it was too bad. The outline was more painful than the coloring in of it.
    Just remember to breathe, I was so nervous with my first tattoo I held my breath without even knowing that I was holding it. I got light headed and and the tattoo artist had to remind me to breathe. After that I just focused on my breathing and I was fine.

    With my second tattoo I took a bottle of water with me for comfort, that helped me through the outlining (I was fine with the coloring in of it). They also had the TV on when I had my second one done so I just watched TV and "forgot" about the tattoo.

    hehe I think that is funny how you fell asleep lol. That is great, at least you were relaxed eh?

    Yes, I am scared of the pain, but once I am there and the person starts doing it, things usually don't even hurt to me, probably because I went expecting so much pain that it doesn't hurt lol. I just have to get the guts up to go and do it.

    I, too, would love to see pics. You won't be able to quit with just one. I got my first one when I was 31. I'm 42 now and have 3. Want to get another one. They're all where you can't see them unless I choose to show them, though. I think it's a great way to express yourself. I think you'll be happy. I knew I would because I had wanted tattoos since I was an older teen. It's good that you did research and thought about it a lot.

    I hate pain! so I didn't get mine for years! Finally took the plunge worried a bunch and then realized he had already done a bunch and it DIDN"T hurt, pinched a bit, but not pain. After that it was smooth sailing!

    Cool idea! Be sure and post pics.

    The outline hurts WAY worse than the fill. Which is good, I suppose, since you get the worst over with first. I've done it five times, and I'm a total baby about pain. It hurts, to be sure, but it's tolerable.

    Here are my sun/moon tattoos. BAD pics, but cool tattoos.

    Well, I survived it! AND I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I can't lie, it was painful at first, especially the lines. The coloring wasn't bad at all. But I just kept thinking about the end result! My friend went with me, and she, I and the tattoo artist talked about travels, politics, his daughter, and about his experiences as a tattoo artist! This guy was awesome!

    He made a drawing from 3 different pics that I took in, and he got it dead on with what I wanted. We just really had to discuss colors, and that was it.

    I was nervous as I waited, and I realized that I was pacing! Once we got in the room, I realized that my hands were practically wringing wet! But once he started, I was better and soon relaxed.

    We got some pictures, but they are on my friends camera and once she gets them downloaded, I will post on here. Hopefully that can happen yet today.
