Hey Caitlin!!

I LOVE it! He did a great job on it for sure! Good for you! It was GREAT to talk to you the other night... we SOOOO gotta do that more often..;)

Love you,

Arlene

looks painful.

Thanks for posting the original pioc, it was hard to tell what it was from your photot because of the light reflection. Glad you like it - you're braver than I am.

Thanks!!! :thumbsup:

Thanx Arlene!! He did do a great job didnt he. Yea we do gotta chat more!

Nope...It really wasnt that painful. I was suprised

I was so scared though...lol..I was gonna like pee my pants and throw up, but I got over it and did it and once he was doing it I was like "This really isnt that bad" but I guess its all where u put it

My shoulder tattoo hardly hurt at all. The one on my lower back hurt much more

every time I see someone post a pic of their newest tattoo, it reminds me of the 3 that I still want...and then I realize why I haven't done it yet! :lol:

that's great did you always want to get a stevie tattoo?

Next time go to a woman artist...they are more gentle on the skin. Looks like he butchered you. I'm not trying to be rude...it's just that I've gotten over a dozen tattoos and this is what I've learned!

that's what I hear.


congrats!

It's a bit red, but I think butchered is a pretty strong word to use. :shrug:

My mom said that it wouldnt hurt that bad on my shoulder

:p Then you should get them

Thanx=)
Yes I did. I have beeen wanting that tattoo for like 3 years

What do u mean?

I agree. :shrug:

Not in my experience with tattoo artists. I've been getting inked for 10 years now. Some of the guys just don't give a sh*t and you're the next quick dollar that walks in the door. Many artists don't take into account that some people scar more easily and they can run the needle too deep. Thats what it looked like happened to you. I was more dogging the artist than anything. Don't feel bad. I've been "butchered" too.

I can't believe the words about to come out of my mouth: mylittledemon is right.

:shocked: (jk!)

some tattoo artists have a heavier hand than others, and they absolutely just drill you. it's like how different people write with different amounts of pressure on a pencil or pen. not a diss on your tattoo at all.. just an observation. looks like he got you pretty good.. especially around the eye.

i too have been tattooed for 10years ~ maybe her skin just reddends easily like mine~ i have been done by men only (that sounds funny) & haven't been butchered, it's just super red for the 1st few hours, because of the way my skin is~

Yeah I mean, it's all subjective really. Some people think their tattoos look great, and the truth is that 85% of them look like complete ****e. It's sad really because the artists that are out there should be ashamed in their work. I mean if the art looks like ****, you wouldn't want someone going around saying "YEAH! I got this tattoo from so-and-so..." especially if it looks bad.

My wife's niece just got her first tattoo and it's heinous. I mean, it's puffy because the needle went to deep and the skin has scarred. The lines are awful, and the color didn't go well with her skin tone. I thought it looked like a child took a crayon to her skin. (if crayon would stick to your skin)...Of course Ashley asked my opinion, being that I'm covered with them, and I couldn't say anything. My face said it all really. I just kind of cringed.

I think Hell froze over for about 30 seconds. Well, maybe just a cool breeze went thru.

My skin was just red for a couple hours. After that it was fine. Its still a little scabby.

is it itching like crazy yet?~ mine did, thank god for A&D~

No..its actually not that itchy
My momw as like "is it wicked itchy yet?"
I said "nope":thumbsup:

Here's a couple updated pics
Taking pics of your back is HARD...lol

I love your eyewear. Those frames look great on you.

I stand corrected. You weren't "butchered."

very cool.

i went out on my eighteenth birthday for ink and came home with a ginormous dragon on my back. my mom wasn't as impressed as i'd hoped :rolleyes:
many years later, i still love it and have still never figured out how to take a proper photograph of it.

i held out for eight more years and got myself a "present" for my birthday this year. and as soon as that $600 gov't rebate comes, i'm going to stimulate the economy with two new pieces (and an imported bottle of absinthe).

Thanks!!! The color is called "lipstick Red" My 1str pair of red glasses

Thanks :p
(needed more words)

Well they're adorable. You're too young to remember this, but there used to a syndicated talk and radio show personality named 'Sally Jesse Raphael' who was known for her red glasses. Her glasses though were usually very, VERY red. Don't know if she's still on, or not. She was like a female version of Phil Donahue or a white version of Oprah, but then her show went completely tacky with 'Redneck Makeovers', 'Help, my daughter is a goth!' and paternity test types of shows and other craziness.

Haha... they still show Sallys show over here! It looks so dated now and her glasses are so huge!

Here's Sally when she was younger- probably late 80's or so. She looks very different now, but then don't we all.. :rolleyes:
