Tattoo

Sooooo.... I said earlier that I have been practice skin for Chris recently as he embarks on his tattoo endeavors. Well, today I decided to be practice skin for someone other than Chris............ and that would be me!!!! Yes I did a tattoo on my calf today and not just a nautical star that is what I guess would be a typical "starter" tattoo so I searched long and hard for something i wanted that i knew i would actually like and be able to do and I chose to tattoo this:


So I drew it up last night and did the outline today and it turned out like this!

Isn't he cute!? I'm waiting to color it in later when we get more colors so for now I will just have this outline but I loveeeeee it. And I am pretty proud of it for my first tattoo. It took a little to get used to the tattoo gun but once i was comfortable with it, it was just like tracing a picture (which is all it really was) and I had fun and got it done pretty quick.

:-D Fun times.... i can't wait to fill him in though.

Adorable!!! I'm totally jealous. I could never draw, let alone tattoo myself. Or anyone for that matter. I think it looks awesome! :-D

Wow, I am super impressed you could tattoo on yourself! I think I'd be too twitchy/squeamish :P It looks awesome, too, just like the picture! Can't wait to see it filled in :D

Your lines are very good for a first tattoo. I want to be the finished piece.
