Inked.


My left hip.
Here's a pic of the new work. It's a redacted part of the "O" from the Swedish band Opeth. I loved the design, but only wanted this portion. It swells over my left hip and is about 6 or 7 inches long and about 3 inches high at the widest point. You can't really see the detailing in this pic because of the angle, but hey...

It itches like crazy now, but I love it. Absolutely love it.

Michael thinks I'm having a mid life crisis.

I went and checked out the inspiration. Ve-rrryy nice. My husband would have the divorce papers made up before the itching could stop. And he claims to be a rocker...

I love it - very nice!

Unless they told you not to moisturize (since I know different artists have different post-tat routines) I'd suggest some nice, mild lotion. I found it helped the itchiness, at least a bit.

Hello! Fabulous taste. And I like where you placed it.

Wow, that is beautiful! You put it in the perfect place to play off the elegance of the curves.

I am fascinated by tattoo work but am scared to actually get one myself. Do you have any others? Are they really addictive?

Stupid me, caught up with your previous post and found that you don't have any more. Sorry! Am VERY behind on blog-reads.

I was sure I'd commented on this, but seems it didnt' go through. Anyway, I just wanted to say that I thought it was gorgeous.
