Help me with my life altering decision!

She can show me now, or I'll see it in two weeks....either or...

 

[tonksy]

He means I wouldn't show it before the tattoo was done...but I will! Because after a solid 5 hours under the gun I had had enough. We got there for our 3:30 appointment and we left there at 11 o'clock. We took several breaks, which was nice.
My wristband has been recolored and I am just tickled!
The leg! I now have the majority of a lower leg band that is 4-6 inches wide. It consists of 3.........wait for it....Lillies!
I will try to get some photos up tomorrow because I'm too pooped to do it now....and Rob is playing a computer game...and the photo software is on his computer....and I ain't asking him now.
I like it!

Woohoo! Lilies rock!
*can't wait for the pictures

 

[simplyred]

Yeah, Slim told me Lilies last night and I was shocked! I love Lilies. What kind of lilies? Calla? Easter? ???

 

[tonksy]

Okay...First post is the wristband redo! I love it!
Before:

After:

 

[tonksy]

Okay, leg band in 3 shots. Remember that this is not a finished tattoo. I still have to get the other flower colored in and there are the flower stamens, more shading, and clean up work.
Also! The white stripe down the center of the flowers is glare off of the ointment.

Very nice! I love the purple!

 

[tonksy]

Thanks, Nat
Luis? It did get pretty tender, especially towards the end.

When all the endorphines secreted started to do their job


They look beautiful, but I'm a wuss and couldn't stand the pain.

 

[tonksy]

Actually, by the time we quit i think my endophines had said WTF, Mate? and shut off for the night. I had the chills bad.

 

[Slim Pickens]

Looks great, T

 

[simplyred]

Nahuh uh...Not this sista! You will sit on a table for 5 hours for that and won't go ski with me in Canada?? That is HUGE!

They are pretty though, and look so much better then the bear. The purple on the arm looks really pretty too. I do like!

 

[tonksy]

LOL.
No way I'm skiing...ever. I'll go to Canada but I'll dress like Nanuck of the north...even in spring.
I'm hoping it heals quickly so I can get more work done before the girls come home.

I can not believe you will let a fat needle stick ink in you but you won't go for the rush of speeding down a hill! Now THAT is adreneline I can go for!! Break my neck yes, make me bleed...no

The girls are going to go nuts over the tat.

"Mommy it's really pretty!" ~ Marlowe
James told them there were pictures and she could barely breathe until I got the site up! She ran to grab Mal and Payton to show them too.

 

[tonksy]

I knew she'd like it
She says now that she isn't going to get a real one "because they hurt" and she "likes the pretend ones".

 

[simplyred]

Malory had a pretend one on her cheek today when she came home from school. When I got home from work the girls were in the tub and Malory was sad that I missed it because it was washed off. Marlowe was quick to tell me that it was not real, you can not get a real one on your face because it would hurt too bad. I just turned and walked away so that she could not see me laughing.

 

[tonksy]

See? Good parenting in action! No facial tattoos for my girls!.....at least until they turn 18.
