my newest addition

I do not consider myself real tolerant of pain. But certain things hurt more than others. Getting a tattoo is one that I consider worth the discomfort because of the outcome. I know that I'm going to have this beautiful piece of artwork on me that I can be proud of when it's all said and done.

The weird thing is it doesnt seem to matter how many tattoos you already have, theres always that apprehension when you sit in the chair.

In my case, i get myself WAY to worked up...

Yesterday I went to the tattoo parlour and had a tat done that I've wanted for quite some time now.. I was very nervous because I was getting it on my foot and from what I've heard from other people it hurts like a bitch..

Now this tattoo is #4 and it honestly felt like #1 with the stress I was feeling.

Here's a pic of the 1st tattoo i ever got, it goes all around my ankle and yes it hurt but it wasent to to bad!

The 2nd one i got was a butterfly on my back, I chose this specific butterfly because I really liked the eyes in the middle... This one didnt hurt alot, there was a few spots that hurt worse then others but all in all it wasent so bad...

The 3rd one I got was one that ment something to my fiance and I... We wanted to get matching tattoos so we got a kanji symbol that means eternity, mine is on my lower leg and he got his on his chest. It hurt a little... but I like it!

Now for the newest addition.

Some of you may know that I really like hawaiian flowers, I'm sure you've seen me wearing lei's in previous posts and of course my new template is also a hawaiian theme..

I've wanted to get a tattoo of hawaiian flowers for a while now but i didnt have the $ to afford it. I was lucky to get a gift certificate from a couple good friends for my birthday that helped me out with paying for my tat..

I had my heart set on getting the tat on my foot. Ive seen tattoos on feet before and I think it looks awesome:)

When the artist drew out my flowers and put the stencil on my foot i already loved how it looked.

Once he started doing the tattoo it wasent bad, the outline didnt hurt at all, therefore i thought this was going to be a breeze... Man was I wrong!!!!

Hella had the pleasure of being with me and letting me squeeze her hand. I screamed in pain while the artist filled in the colour.. Poor hella has broken blood vessels in her finger because I was squeezing so hard.... Throughout my whole life I have never experienced such pain.. A 45 minute tattoo ended up taking a little over 3 hours because I kept getting him to stop while I had time to chill....

This tattoo actually made me cry a little.... I am very happy with the outcome, its beautiful but I will never do it again, (on my foot that is)

Needless to say I was happy when it was all done and over with!!!

3 want to get Lei'd!.:

Anonymous got sand in my Pina Colada.

Don't worry about my finger....youmade it up to me with allt he things you were calling the tattoo artist and other people in the shop!! LOL
It was long and it was rough but your tat looks great!
You can see how swollen your foot is from the tat and from walking around on it.
I give it a few months and you will want some new ink again......just not on your feet!
