Haha I just got out of work and saw it. I’m so happy with how it came out!

Here’s what we covered up, from the day I got it. I pulled it out of my Instagram archive to show this

And for the rest of the thread, what my arm currently looks like

 

I really need to make another appointment with him.

 

I actually just made my next appointment with him today to do white work on this and then get Momo from ATLA. Also driving down to RVA to get something from Isashah on Nov 16

 

She's posted so many things that I'd love to get. Can't justify that drive though.

Did Chris mention when they are planning on moving out? I really don't want to go there again if I don't have to.

 

Mid August, my next appointment will still be there, but my partner has an appointment in early Sept will prob be at the new spot

I have friends who live in Richmond so it’s an excuse to see them. I’m getting a Luigi’s Mansion thing

 

Late to this but pete larkin at kyklops tattoo is great.

 

I'll look into his work! Most of my friends have exclusively been recommending Torch and Dagger/Bonnie Ramone in particular, but I'm definitely open to suggestions.

 

Damn I love this

 

Damn.

 

I've been having the tattoo itch sooo bad lately, but every time I think abut dropping the money I think about how that could basically be a plane ticket instead, or at least part of one, and then I can't decide which I want more so I don't.

 

2nd session on my big one is finally booked

 

I need to get tattooed this weekend.

 

Was originally planning on getting a ghost tattooed on my foot next weekend to celebrate my first "real job" paycheck, but in light of the recent Say Anything news, I might go for a self-designed "Chia-Like, I Shall Grow" piece instead.

 

Gahhhhh I can’t wait for Tuesday! It’s gonna suck but it’ll be well worth it

 

I’ve decided I want a pumpkin spice latte or at least a pumpkin tattoo this fall. Steer into the skid, y’know?

 

That sounds amazing

 

Thanks. I'll have to post a pic when the design is finished. You know those kinda cool/overused sun and moon designs where they share a face? It's one of those, but with a skull for a face ("Sun, I won't spare you/Moon, I won't spare you") and the lyrics "The Stars Scar My Ceiling" around it.

 

Today was killer. One more session to go.

 

Which spot hurt the worst?

 

It all sucked but probably the sternum. When he was really going at it I could feel it reverberating throughout my body and causing intense pain in my arms actually.

 

Yeah, probably never doing my chest, haha.

 

It was easily the most painful experience of my life. I’m not looking forward to the final session but I also am cause I can’t wait to be done with this forever lol

 

Are you adding a second hot air balloon, or is something else going there? Looks fantastic, great coloring.

 

Thanks man! Yeah, adding the boy counterpart there. Then a lil bit of shading and detail work and I’m done. He said it should only take up half a session thank god

 

Are you going to shave your chest going forward? It's a beautiful piece, and you clearly have thick dark hair.
