I had an infinity sign with "love" and a ton of scribbles all around it.

I now have a Red-winged Blackbird and Dogwood flowers- my dad's favorite bird and tree.

It took four hours and I'm pretty sure it looked like I was in labor the whole time.

It's lovely! But man - four hours on my foot, I think I'd die!

In hindsight I should have hired a labor coach. I was literally crawling away from him the entire time without realizing. I left a big tip.

I've done that amount of time on my back without difficulty, but I wanted to die after 1.5 hours on my feet. You're way tougher than me.

I have tummy troubles when I get nervous so I didn't eat anything before the appt. To say I felt lightheaded is an understatement. I may or may not have given instruction to finish the dang tattoo if I pass out.

Great cover up. I hear you on 4 hours on your foot, I wanted to stop almost immediately but knew if I stopped, I'd never finish. I chewed on ice and squeezed a pillow.

It just wasn't what I had imagined. The artist rushed me and I ended up getting it way bigger than I ever dreamed of. Eventually, every time I looked at my foot I became irritated all over again and I just wanted it off.
