pic related, it's my first tattoo guys.
i finally got up the money yesterday to go into a shop. i'd been tossing around ideas for 2 years on what to get...and i liked tribal suns, but i didn't want to go tribal because you may as well just get someone elses arm tattooed onto yours. i wanted something original, so i designed it myself
went in yesterday because they said to give 2 days notice so they could resize it, etc...but when i came in they said "oh, we can do it now if you like"
"sure why not"
it was excruciating at parts, it took an hour, i was glad when it ended, and i'm very f***ing happy with the result.
oh, and don't let the thread title let you think i'm implying there'll be a second. it's been checked off my bucket list, and i'd sooner spend an hour in a dentists office than go through it again. glad i did it, though.
the drive home was...interesting. my nerves were on fire from the strain (not painful, very VERY numb) so i had to drive in a state that i described as when ace ventura is running through the woods getting hit with poison darts. i had to partially throw my right arm between the stickshift and the steering wheel... my friend was very amused.
visited a closing blockbuster afterwards and bought (500) Days of Summer
GOOD DAY TO YOU SIR
