Tattoos!!!

[Rikez]

Hello everyone! I just got my first colored tatoo today and I wanted to be able to share it with you all. I figured I could just start a thread so those of you who also have tattoos could share! I would honestly love to see every one of them. I absolutely LOVE tattoos in all shapes and forms, and as my collection grows I'm always interested in designing the next one for myself! I'll include where I got each one, how long it took, and how much it hurt on a pain scale. I won't include how much it was $$$ wise because each shop is different and for my earlier tattoos, I honestly don't remember.


So here they are in chronological order:

Oooh why haven't I done this before!!


Got this one when I turned 18. It was $100, and the artist was in Burlington, WI. Didn't hurt at all, then got progressively painful as the shading continued. Took a little less than an hour.


This one was a best friend endeavor! Me and Julie have been friends for over a decade and when I visited her in NY this January, we commemorated our friendship with ink! Mine is the larger one with the wolf on it. They were both $120, took roughly two and a half hours. The first two layers (outline and first color) were no big deal but by the time the shading and highlights were done, I was near tears. It hurt SO BAD. But it's amazing and still so bright and I love it!
