So today I got the first part of my tatttoo done. I only got one wing done because it super hurt and I couldn't stand it much longer. My tattooist said that the first one needs to be experienced without anything so no numbing. I was taking Ibeprofen before to make it so it hurt less because I'm a wuss which it did a little...but it still hurt alot. Especially the parts lower on my back and the parts near my armpit. Those hurt the most. It also didn't help that I took a break in the middle because I was starting to go into shock a little and Kate was getting a little concerned. So we took a break and I got some sugar in me and things were good. Apparently when you take a break your body has time to figure out it's under attack and panics harder so it hurts more. Or at least that's what I was told. So the last bit hurt a lot a lot but I didn't cry so I feel good about it. Right now the only parts that really bother me are the little bit by my armpit, which apparently bled a lot and hurt a lot too and where the tape is that's keeping the plastic on. I don't know why the tape hurts but apparently that one spot was suppose to hurt a lot and did bled significantly so I figure it's allowed to hurt. Hopefully by tomorrow it won't hurt so much and I'm hoping it'll heal nicely. Next friday I get other wing and the detailing down my spine (i'm getting numbing for that) and the week after that touch ups on this wing and then hopefully shading after that (if I don't wuss out of shading, which i might.) But yeah I think it turned out super sweet. A picture of it will be on facebook because I don't know how to post them here. (Please don't tell me how I don't care to find out.)
