Well, I stayed hard and sticked to my wish. The first part is done and looks f*cking great! 8)

Sorry for the delayed update, but I spent the last two nights and the whole day with my girlfriend. This will be a short update on the tattoo thing as we are going to a breakfast buffet with some friends at 12 o’clock already.
The first session lastet 3 hours. After the first hour the outlines where finished (surprisingly quick for me, but there was more to follow as you can see…). The first hits by the needles where… ouch. I knew it would hurt, of course, and I did not expect it to be harmless, but experiencing the actual needles was special still. Especially the loooooong outer lines did made me think “oh, fuck….” and gave me the taste of blood in my mouth. And it stayed hard, but I got used to it and did not whinge, haha.
First break after the outlines were finished. After a while tiny drops of blood appeared out of all the needle holes on the lines. A pity I did not have the camera with me for that was a really cool image.
Filling out the black areas followed (outlines and inner background) and took the next two hours with another break in between. The best feeling was coming home and removing the blood soaked foils. After doing so the arm could relax a lot and I felt very comfortable and happy. Looks great so far! No pics for the public, yet, because it is not finished yet! The shadings are dated in two weeks, Friday 24th.
Healing goes surprisingly well and quick, looks really good. Can’t wait to get it finished.
To get a rough impression of size and position, I might post a blurred pic later on, we will see. For now: It’s about 23 centimeters in height and roughly 20 centimeters in width at the cross part (the overall basic form is a cross).
To sum it up: It’s a real challenge to get it done, but it’s worth every needle.
Stay tuned!
