Under the needle, and sensing a pattern...

Last Wednesday I got a new tattoo and had an old one completely redone. On Friday Roj went and got a new tattoo (his 6th). On Saturday my friend, Tammy, who works next to a tattoo shop, called to ask whether I thought she would be able to stand the pain of getting her first tattoo. It seems something has got the ink flying around here, which

How's the cover up go?
Tell me more.

I didn't have a cover up, per se. I just had an old tattoo completely relined and recolored.

The guy who originally did it 9 years ago didn't have a lot of talent in the shading department, so it just looked washed out and crappy. He'd also made some mistakes on her face and hair. I couldn't believe how awesome the reworking turned out. Most awesome.

Not enough detail...which one did you get redone and what does all the new ink look like? :-) Who me? Demanding bitch, you say??

I had my fairy redone. I had become more and more disappointed with it over the years. It looks fuckin' incredible now.

I'm going to get my first tattoo---when I quit smoking and some time has gone by, then I'm getting a tattoo to reward myself. My theory is that because the tattoo will be permanent, maybe the quit smoking will be, too.

Weird, I know, but these illogical things sometimes work out for me.

[faerywren]

Illogical to who? Sounds like a plan to me.

Now put out that cigarette!
