For those following along on my tattoo adventure, my first session is in the books. After 5 hours in the chair, for which I was only charged for 4.5 because he said I’m the perfect client with perfect skin for tattooing. Apparently I was sitting very still and the colors were showing up really well. That’s thanks to the fact that I generally avoid the sun, which causes my husband to poke fun at my pasty white legs in the summertime.

Future sessions will involve covering more of my arm with other shades of blue flowers, he wanted to start off with a lighter color to see how I liked it because he can always go darker later, he said.

Without further ado, a moment of temporary unwrapped-ness. I have to keep it wrapped in Saran Wrap until Wednesday. So this is how it looks before I wrap it again.

I’m madly in love with it already! I’ll go back in two weeks for him to see how it has healed and to set the next appointment.

    1. Thank you! I’m so in love!

  3. Yay!!! Thanks for showing us…amazing!!!

  4. Beautiful and I am so in awe that you could sit in any chair for FIVE HOURS. I don’t think I could go two – especially with someone poking needles into me. You are one tough lady. 👍 Impressive,!

    1. Thank you! That last hour started to get a bit rough, but he took breaks throughout, so that helped too.

  5. That’s good! I thought you had to sit in place for five solid hours. I was kind of wondering how he did that as well. 🙂

  6. This looks so beautiful ✍️
