Come Fly With Me…

Feb 17, 2008 19:37

So as anyone who has been reading this LJ knows, yesterday I went to get my second tattoo. How was it? Well, it was an intense, sometimes painful, but ultimately uplifting experience. But if you click on the cut below, you will see…

My appointment was for 6:00 o’clock sharp. Due to some train trouble, my friend and I got there about ten minutes ( Read more... )

Thank you. I saw both of yours. Very very PRETTY. The heart with the katana through it has lovely colours. =)

Wow.

That's beautiful. You're beautiful.

I'm glad you like it.

I can't stop looking at my back. My poor neighbors have to be wondering why the lady at the top floor of the house keeps ripping off her top and posing by the mirror. Free show for everyone!

And for the first time, I can't wait for summer, because I plan to wear nothing but tank tops to show it off. It's going to be a summer full of Treasure and tats. It's going ot be FAB!

I second Grumpy Demon's wow. They're just FABULOUS! You are definitely taking me to see him when we're back in New York!

Glad you like them. I'm madly in love with them. But even better...You're coming back??? *SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE*

And of course I'll take you to Darren. He's the shop owner and have been tattooing for over 23 years. He's a fab artist and all around great guy.

Sorry I haven't been around much, BTW. I'm been taking it easy and resting up so the tattoo can heal.

Love you muchly though,
Blue

Those look great! We already knew you were an angel (or is that fairy?)and now you have the wings to prove it!
I'm jealous!

Re: Ca-ooooool! bluesimplicity February 19 2008, 08:09:26 UTC

Thank you.

And you know, the next time you're round these parts, we can always pay Darren a visit and you can get yourself a little ink work. *wink* As I can attest and you can see, he's a GREAT artist.

Hope all is well with you.

Thing is I have always wanted an arm band but mum kept talking me out of it (I am such a wuss). But she was right, I am so old now that I am already starting to form "Arm Flaps" - if you know what I mean. My cool celtic knot arm band would already be stretching into a weird ass design that looked like I missed the target while trying to put on a necklace.
*Sigh*
Maybe a little airplane on the shoulder or something.

Well... bluesimplicity February 20 2008, 02:45:45 UTC

You could always get a Celtic knot on the back of your shoulder. Whatever you want really, and a good artist would help you find something that fits what you want, but would also age well.

And let me tell you something - The endorphin rush that you get as they're working on you - BEST LEGAL high I've ever had. *wink*

I got recced here by a friend and I have to say I admire both your tattoo and your bravery. I know the feeling of needing wings, and honestly I feel I do too, and have been toying with the idea for years. But I can't make myself do it. I think I'm going to get a waist tattoo instead, wings but more concealable. It may be a measure of cowardice on my part, but it's where I have to go at least for now; they'll be my first.

Oh, I'm rambling. My point in speaking up is that you are beautiful with your new wings, and your friends are right, they look like you were born with them. They match your hair and the motion of your body. So thank you for sharing, and for inspiring this blue bird to strive more strongly for her own wings. ♥

Hello... bluesimplicity February 19 2008, 08:14:57 UTC

Hello Nightengale, and nice to meet you ( ... )

Re: Hello... nightengale February 24 2008, 21:50:56 UTC

Thanks for replying! ♥ Sorry it took me a minute to get back to you - I'm pretty cagey, honestly, and because my journal is friends-locked, friending you would open it all up, and I haven't made my mind up whether to do that or not. Thus the delay in responding to you. ♥

I am honestly curious about how many tattoos I could get on my back and shoulders without it looking cluttered or mis-planned. I worry that if I get a tattoo now, then later it won't fit in with the other ones that I want to get. I'm very big on coherency and organization, and I wouldn't want to have conflicting marks on me. Does that make sense?

Re: Hello... bluesimplicity February 25 2008, 01:25:20 UTC

Hello again. =)

It all depends on what you are going for, what your preferences are and what stage you are in your life. I'm big on balance, thus I would never get an arm band on my right arm without getting one on my left. I would just feel off.

Plus, tattoos can be similar or work with a theme, while still being unique. My first tattoo is a tribal phoenix on my lower back. And you've seen the wings. Do they look alike? No. But they have that tribal theme to them so they match in their own way.

As a suggestion, I would recommend going online and looking at what other people have done tattoo-wise. Not to copy them (that's a big no-no in tattoo etiquette), but just to get a sense of different ideas and what is possible out there. And again, I can't stress the importance of a good artist, even if you get a different artist for each piece. A good artist will work with you, your style, and try to work with you to maintain a sense of cohesion with all of your body art.

Hope that made sense and helps. =)
