left sleeve
they are moths, not butterflies. butterflies have those little antennae things. i do NOT like butterflies, much. i quite like mothies.
it's probably possible, but we found it incredibly difficult to actually get the design to go all the way around without a break. so we have a gap at the underneath of my arm, and i'm quite ok with that. so long as there are no unfinished moths, i'm fine with it.

time: appt at 1pm, actually started at 1.45, time spent faffing around with stencil placement, actually starting buzzing aroun 2-2.30pm. the needle broke about 4pm, after that there was breaks and more faffing. finished around 6.45pm. really about 3.4-4 hours of actual tattooing.
faffing = talking to artists, watching dvds, playing with beds and cursing needles that break.
going back for touchups, finish the edging, in about a month. hopefully i'll have money to start the colouring soon - check the original image ^ to see what the colours are. and to everyone who says that near your armpit and on the underside of your arm is more painful - you were right! owwwwies.
but i am so pleased :D
