AMAZING!!!
I was there from 4-11 pm. But, it was SOooo worth it. This new guy is fast, and amazingly talented. He took my idea, and vision, and made it BETTER than I imagined:) (DO i sound happy?! I AM!:)
I have the back piece done, and it is starting to go into the side piece, but I still have to go back for another 3-5 hour session, to add more to the arm piece, and blend the two pieces together.
We also JUST got our new Computer delivered, AND my laptop back from repairs, on the same day:) (New imac g5 20 inch wide screen, all in one, with a built in webcam (isight)... enough to make me... well, really excited, and dampen the computer chair:) ANyways, I will pop a pic tomorrow with the built in webcam, to give ya an ideaof what it looks like, IF you are interested. ALthough, it will look different when it is fully healed, ya get the idea.
TOday, it HURTS like HELL.
the skin is sooo tight, i can't move my arms without it stretching and hurting.. but it is SOooo worth it:)
Hugs:)

Here is a REALLY bad picture of it.... which I am going to regret posting, because it looks WAY better than that shot shows... ah well:) Plus, well, obviously, there is way MORE tattoo there, that you can't see, but you get the idea:)
(And, you can see my REALLY messy bookshelf:) Whoops:)
I will take nice pics, when I actually COMPLETELY finish EVERYTHING.... whenever THAT will be:) THanks for looking:)
I took this when I was on cam with my mother, whom i haven't seen in a looong time.... She started screaming when she saw it.. and then praying:) "Dear god, what is WRONG with my childs head..." "GILLIAN ALICE! What do you think you ARE?! A coloring book!?!" "yes, mommmy...." (My father refused to look... should be an interesting visit home next month....)

And, steven, if you are still reading any of this... tell me what yoour opinion is on this.
You DON"T have to be "licensed" to be a piercer, or a tattooist. Of course, your place of business has to pass the local health by-laws, etc. But, you DON"T have to have a license to do it. ANYONE can charge to stick you with needles.
Buuuuttt... You have to go to school, and renew your license every YEAR to be a hairdresser..
TO CUT HAIR?! (My mother is a hairdresser)... i mean, that sh!t grows back....
Ok, done rambling.. it was just something that came to me last night while getting the work done (I was REALLY bored... next time, i am bringing a LONGER book). Plus, I had to sit on a dentist style type chair, sideways, all slouched over, perfectly balanced, while he leaned on my back. with my head dropped way down, chin on chest. I would kill for a massage, if it wouldn't hurt the darn tattoo.
Ramble, ramble.

So...is the idea to be able to run around naked and nobody be able to tell?
Seriously though, even being fresh, it's STILL beautiful work!!
@ "coloring book"...just make sure you stay inside the lines!!...
...actually, I take that back...outside the lines CAN be fun!!

, I like the idea, taht people double take me... think I am wearing a shirt underneath my shirt:) I get a kick out of it.
WHen I am completely covered up, i don't LOOK like the kid of person to be covered in ink, and I like that.
THanks for the compliment hon:) That picture doesn't really do it justice, but it isn't worth takin gpics right now, because third day scabs are here:) I have another apt. for next friday at noon, to (hopefully) complete the work. Very excited doesn't begin to explain how I feel:) I think I take to this much too enthusiastically.... not many people GET WHY i am "ruining" my body... I love the art. I love the permanance of it, and I like to be able to share it with others.
Ga-bye

I don't mind getting the actual tattoo... (well, the last half hour usually drives me nuts). But, the first few days with a LARGE tattoo hurts like hell. I have super sensitive skin, and bruise REALLY easily. SO, my whole back is bruised, and brown and yellow surrounding the tattoo:) I also swell like crazy DURING the tattoo, sometimes hinders the process, but usually my skin seems to calm down and get with it:)
hugs.

Wtf?!
I had ONE chick lick her finger and RUB the one on my lower arm to see if it was real... And it was a FRESH job!! EWWWW!!! gawd... if we ever have a kid I would hate to see people trying to pet my stomach (unless they're invited of course). I would likely hit them. Or if it's a chick... grab their boob. heheh You know, invade THEIR personal space, see how they like it. As for a stranger rubbing their spit on me... they would have to be EXTREMELY attractive.

Wow! I can see it a lot better in this pic than I could on the webcam. Hey, it's reversed! (or I'm going crazier... ). The guy did a great job on the pic. I didn't know how it was going to turn out for ya, but he managed to keep the feel of the scene. Really nice job. Also, it's big, but not as big as I thought it was. A good size I think. You can still cover it up if you need to (not that you should ever 'need' to).

Off topic, but slightly similar, last week, he was in the bathroom shaving his head, and he called me in... took me a minute to adjust to what I was supposed to be noticing... and then I screamed. My formerly VERY hairy bodied husband was bald as a baby. BALD. AND, this guy is only 5'5" and maybe 130 lbs..... I couldn't bear to touch him, made me feel like a pedophile:) It is starting to grow back, and holy prickly, he regrets THAT stunt:)
Gaggggg....
Wow! Time to set his own web page. Before marrying my last wife, by one week, at a halloween party I had a pro make me up like an alien with a like 5 hour latex ordeal to do the head which was sci-fi quality. The party was fun. People were very creeped out because I wouldn't talk much and it was very realistic. Now the catch was he was supposed to soap my hair, use a nylon to cover, and then pour on the latex. After the party... guess what he had forgotton and the latex was fused to my long hair. To the scalp. Out with the clippers and then I got to see what I looked like as an ET Gray. I had a business and little kids would stare and point at me at the bank. Finally, before the wedding I got a hair thing. I mean I couldn't get married that way.
As a swimmer, we had to shave our bodies before competition. and let me tell you my love life took a turn for the worse and one girlfriend nicknamed me "pokey" which was not exactly the guy image I wanted.
It will grow back, but careful. Some sadistic girl friend once suggested that I shave between my eyebrows when I only had a few stray hairs. That was a mistake.
Of course this whole thing of shaving is probably a little borderline. So I will stop
there.

Ugh, I don't like pain....no way
Plus I guess just too old-fashioned. When and where I was growing up, only sailors and really grungy people had tattoos. I know it's changed and that many younger people have them, but it just looks icky to me. Just one of those generational things, I guess.
Piercings just are way too weird for me But I am not a big jewelry person anyway. Maybe on day I'll die my hair, that would be about the extent of my "craziness" ha ha!

Hair is important IMHO...It can really compliment facial features, yet some people also look at hair more than other's do..all depends on what a person does with it....Some people can carry shorter hair, some look better with longer hair depending on facial features, face shape...
ROTFLMAO Steve about your "sexuality"!!!
I think longer always looks good as long as it is kept up and styled nicely. A lot of people have big ears and need longer hair (especially guys). As long as it's not unkempt or yukky.
I think most guys prefer longer hair on women.
I think also that it makes a difference what you grew up with....when I was young, everyone had long hair, so that looks more "normal" to me than short hair. Now you can wear it any old way....which is better but...some people have no idea how to make their hair look good. Not that I do but I don't care, !

Good for you. Then don't ever get pierced or tattooed. Glad you find me "icky". (And for the record, I AM a grungy sailor). (I also think YOU don't need to dye your hair to be "crazy"..... think about it.)

Hi Gilly! Nice tatts.....errrr tattoos. You are one colorful babydoll I do say so myself. But nothing will ever change the ravishing look in your eyes...you are truly blessed child, blessed with a look that most women would die to have.
And most men would die to have you. :shock:
Shut me off now, before I get in trouble again.

Hi Gilly! I love your tattoos. And your hair is soooo soooo you.
But I have a question. when you are already so beautiful, why would you want the ink on your body also?
It seems that you'd get enough attention already.
Doesn't it make you feel icky?
Just kiddin'............. :ppfftt: :wave:

No doubt Gilly that is quite a piece of art. My character in Fable has "skin illustrations" from head to foot. From Seby and I, it is like guilding a rose.
You are a very beautiful person inside already.

I agree with you and let's not forget how talented she is, an amazing singer which I think we should hear her more often
