Hardcore! So pretty.

It is making me want a tattoo!

Ha! I did 4 hours sitting for the coloring, and Gina was amazed that I could sit for so long. I did some meditating, and lots of chatter with Rocio.

And if you got a tattoo, what would you get? That's always the question I have....

I'm not sure I can tell from the photo, what colors are in there? I see some yellow in the feet. Is the body redish? or more brown?
I guess I'll just need to see it in person! Sweet.

I hear you on the second session. I had to go back for color too and it hurt more... due to the skin still being sensitive. So worth it tho. Very nice. I like the movement in it. Totally.

There is lots of reds in the body - reddish brown/mahogany. The wings are more dark brown/grey. And yes, you'll just have to see it in person.

And picture of your tattoo? I don't think I've seen it.

I posted about it when I got it.
Let me see if I can dig up the link

That is a beautiful bird, but I am so confused by all the mirrors: if you are facing north, would the hawk be flying west? It seems so painful, but so wonderful at the same time.

If I got a tattoo, it would be very small and probably a bird. But a small bird. Perhaps a hummingbird. A small hummingbird without a flower. A teeny, tiny hummer. In truth, I will not have a tattoo. I am a wimp....

[teaguestoy]

Hahahah - you'd get a disappearing hummingbird :) One that just flew away and isn't visible anymore. That's a great tattoo idea :)

And yes, facing north, she's flying west - on my left back/scapula. There were definitely moments it was painful, and then places where I KNEW she was laying down ink, but I literally couldn't feel it - that was really weird. Then other places, I actually said "ouch" out loud - but overall, I handled it pretty well. Perhaps knowing it was chosen pain?

I am totally stealing that tatoo idea! ;-)

[foggydogs]

Wow, she did a lovely job but can I just say OUCH. That looks like it was a painful experience, chosen or not :)
