Description took this picture while I was getting my full sleeve (work in progress) worked on. The final black and gray shading session. My tattoo artist, Philip Felix, owner of Red Sky Studio www.redskystudio.com was working hard and concentrating. I edited the picture.

I can make it through the outlines just fine. It's the SHADING that drives me insane. The constant going over and over is a sensory overload. I'm going through laser removal on a tattoo on my ankle and that's easier than than going through heavy shading. *cringe*

Lol how strange, I find the long endless line work and outlines to be more frustrating than anything else I guess I sorta go numb in the areas they are shading Oh and ankle tattoos HURT!! I gave myself a small flower tattoo on the inside of my left ankle and it was horrible! I would rather cover a tattoo up than remove it that is for sure! Ouch!

At my first laser appointment they were putting this numbing stuff that did NOT feel like it worked in the slightest. That sucked. It was like being stabbed with 1000 needles all in the same spot. the last time I went he used ice in a glove and made it crazy cold. Then used the laser and I hardly felt anything. It was still uncomfortable but a huge improvement over my last appointments. I don't mind it so much now. It's a pretty large tattoo to begin with so covering it wasn't really an option since that would make it bigger = harder to hide for a teacher/Girl Scout summer camp worker.

The line work for me is over quick-snap. I wish I could stand the coloring better because I colors. If I wasn't in my junior year of the education program to be an elementary school teacher, I'd totally do an arm sleeve. I'd have way more tattoos with all this elaborate work. I can see it beautifully in my head. One day I'll get to retire, and I'll head straight to the ink shop!

Wow that does sounds like a lot of pain and just no fun! I hope it can get easier and better! How is it going now? Sorry so late to reply! Ya know nowadays I wonder if a full sleeve is more acceptable for people in your line of work. I hope you can one day get the full sleeve you want!!!

It's not so bad once it's over and it lasts less then a minute so it isn't never ending torture. It goes quickly enough. It's going well, but I've let it go for the time being. With things the way they are it was too expensive. I don't want to cover it, I just want it to go away, and laser removal is effective. It's just a long process.

Thanks for the tattoo wishes. One day, one day...

Maybe think about it one day?

Thank you! How funny you mention that! I am actually writing a journal now about just that! My tattoo artist asked me to take some photos of some of his work on his other customers. I am really excited about it!
