THANKS! XD

This is only 50% done, unfortunately. It took 3 hours and by that time I was fading fast and my artist, who had fallen on the ice earlier in the day and hurt his back, was also hurting pretty bad. We decided to break and finish the last two parts later. It's already paid for so I can come back as I please (according to his availability) and get it finished!

Wow, only half done! Which way is it going to spread? I love the style of it, it's beautifully done.

I've not had anything that took that long yet...I think my longest session was an hour. I suppose after three hours I'd be ready to stop, too!

It will spread upwards onto my ribs. I have a copy of the entire sketch that I should post.

Rob is the BEST! He did my music notes also and he's super nice and HILARIOUS! Didn't even realize how long I sat for until we left and I looked at the time. My two friends came with me too so we were all just talking the whole time which was really great for me haha.

I am a weirdo and looked at the veins first. Can you get out of my brain a little bit with tattoos? I had also considered sakura blossoms Sesshoumaru-style (had not picked a placement). Though your blossoms look so different form the stylized blossoms I was planning, I could still do it. You should slow down on the tattoos, though! Also, you need to come to my guy for your next one.

And if the piercing bug hits you, I ONLY use Mark of the Piercing Emporium. My tongue was the only exception having had it done in France.

Haha, when I was waiting for my artist to finish the sketch our dear brother texted me a picture of himself with a mohawk and his tongue out (which I didn't know was pierced, but it apparently has been since 99 WHOOPS ( ... )

XD Well don't feel bad, I had no idea his was pierced either. So his must be further back than mine? This is also why I fear getting text enabled on my phone, LOL. I've been debating upgrading to a phone with email for work purposes, but I fear the texting...

Well detail won't show for a week or two until it heals more. Mine are all black&grey, so those really heal differently than how they first look. I'm glad that you like it! furousha has something similar to your branch on her arm. Nerd tattoo inspiration, check out the galleries at bmezine.com (you can get full access if you submit photos of your own work). I feel there must be some sort of atomic/equation joke somewhere out there. XD ( ... )

Hahaha, don't dear the text, embrace it :) And anyways I don't think Leo would text that stuff if THAT'S what you're afraid of, lol.

I know the detailing won't show up completely for a while but you can tell where he put in the white to give it dimension and he blended his own pinks together to add to the awesome. I agree that we wanted similar things for tats but luckily your blossoms are so different from mine hardly anyone will realize we have the same type of blossoms. Where were you thinking of getting yours?

Yeah the piercing is years down the road (after my Ph.D and I have a job) but I will keep Shrewsbury St in mind. The place I got my tats done also does piercings and I know a lot of people who get them done there and they only say great things about the place. We'll see where I end up living first to determine where I get work done.

Are the cherry blossoms part of the rehab tattoo or are they separate pieces?

Lovely! Every time I see a cool new piece of ink from one of my flist, I get tempted to get another tattoo ...
