Description My eleventh tattoo, just after being finished.
Thank you to Kurt for taking a non-slutty photo of my boob.

(What is friendship? A single soul in two bodies - Aristotle)
Pretty obvious why I got this right next to my heart.

Hahahah. Formalities. Figured it wasn't worth surgery to have a tattoo ON my heart... Next to it is good enough.

Hahah. Though I have joked about getting a flatline heart rate monitor reading tattooed on my heart when I die. Seeing as I'm rapidly running out of skin.

Oddly, not really.
A lot of people had told me that near the heart is about the most painful place. So I was a bit "omg this will hurt but it'll be worth it". But I was doing my usual endorphin induced slip into sleep, until one part which hurt. A lot. But even that one part didn't hurt as much as my foot and thigh. XD

Actually, the only tat I have is a "prison" style tat of a heart done with needle and thread on my chest...it didn't hurt all that bad till it was almost done...

HouseOfGimp In reply to erziban [2011-07-17 01:04:49 +0000 UTC]

I don't have any prison style tattoos, but it doesn't sound overly pleasant.
The boyfriend said anything on the ribs is pretty bad, next to the heart, and over the sternum being the worst. Whenever I'm in the studio there's people wincing and yelping while getting tattoos on their ribs... And I was almost asleep. XD

I am glad it wasn't painful! Oh, by the way, thanks for joining the group...they all seem like a bunch of nice people and very talented too...I think you will fit right in!

It wouldn't have bothered me if it was painful. The end result would be worth it. You'll love the one being done on the 29th. Then a break for a few months, I think. XD

Oh, thanks for the invite. I'll have a good poke around later when I'm not out and about... And not stupid o'clock in the morning. It was around 3am when I accepted. XD Lol.

Thank you so much.
I let my tattooist know what people think of his work, the next time I get a tattoo (which is in three weeks).
But he also took the photo, so I'll let him know you like that, too.

HouseOfGimp In reply to PyrusXIII [2011-07-17 01:00:01 +0000 UTC]

He certainly does... And he's still an apprentice, would you believe. He's done eight of my eleven tattoos, and will be doing the remaining ten.
Forget diamonds... I love my tattooist.

Hellz ya. I've only got 2 for now, but I have plenty more planned. Now I just have to win the lottery and I'll be all set.

Awesome! Did it start off as "Oh, I'll just get one or two, and that'll be all"? That's what happened with me. I only got my first tattoo in January last year... And yeah... Now I have 11... And 10 more either designed, or in the process of being designed.

It is annoying that tattoos can be so pricey. But shop around, compare prices. Also ask it there's any apprentices, because they tend to be about half the price. Get them to do your simpler designs. Any touch up work that may nd to be done is usually not charged if you go back to the same studio.

Let me know how you go.

Oh no, I've wanted tons of tattoo's all my life. The designs tend to change, but a handful have been in my mind for years. Come hell or high water, I'll get them too.

Good. I'm glad you still love it. It's not going anywhere. XD But then, it's not exactly going to be on show much.
I thought a quick touch up would make it look a little better, too... Got rid of excess boob. And armpit.

Agreed! I really needed a nice, fresh, shiny new tatt... Or two. Strange how I feel a little better after having needles dragged through my wrist and boob.
