Tattoo!

[visionshadows]

And we're back with Round 3 of Tattoo Mania!

Last night we filled in almost all of the dress wrapped around the woman. Sadly, I bled too easily to continue and fill in the hair like we had planned. But I go back on the 14th to finish up most of the major areas of the tattoo. After that is the background which is going to be so great. Woo!

Also, I just realized when you click on the large version of this you can see the blood. ROCK!

I can't remember if I told you this before or not but I think your tattoo is beautiful.

It looks so awesome!!!

[visionshadows.livejournal.com]

Aww, thank you.

How are you doing? :)

[alicia-stardust.livejournal.com]

I'm doing well, but I'm getting unwieldy. I'm going to post belly pictures on my lj sometime in the next week or less. I just need to carve out some time to get them uploaded and ready. =)

I'm glad you're doing well. Chrissy and I are so excited about this baby. *laughs* We just wish we weren't across the country.

Right, 'cause it's not totally likely we'll take time off at some point to come visit. Rachel and I never do impulsive things like that.

:D

[visionshadows.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah. We never do stuff like that. We're totally responsible adults. ;)

I still say wow to the tatoo. Good shading, nice use of complimentary colors. There's another tat I can see on your back. What is it?

[visionshadows.livejournal.com]

The back one is a quote. You can see both of my back tattoos in this picture here. It's large which is why I didn't just reply with the image. :)

[iriedanym.livejournal.com]

Oooh nifty!

[visionshadows.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

That is awesome!

but I couldn't handle the pain.

Kudos to you!

I really expected the fibro to cause a problem with the tattooing, but it hasn't in the least. Especially since I had acupunture the night before we did this. I was in very little pain during the whole thing. :)

[shay-writes.livejournal.com]

Nice! How have you been doing?

[visionshadows.livejournal.com]

Pretty good. Acupuncture has been working brilliantly and if I get flarey it usually only last for a day or so.

Naturally, I *had* to click on the larger pic, but I see no blood! Big fat LET DOWN!!! ;-)

That is gorgeous color. You have an awesome artist. It's really beautiful.

May I ask: what is the significance of that design to you?

[visionshadows.livejournal.com]

I really wanted a woman on my arm, but I didn't want a pinup girl or anything overly sexualized. I adore Mucha's work and I love that his women are more sensual than sexual (at least to me). This particular one is 'The Dance' and the reason I picked this Mucha piece is that it seems so alive to me. Dancing is freedom and there's this beautiful woman who feels so strong and sensual, but not overly sexualized.

So yeah, that's why I picked this one. Beautiful, sensual woman, the freedom of dance and movement. Since I have fibro, movement can be tough sometimes so I like having something representing that.

And dude, the blood is there! It's right under her elbow. I swear!

[fayemeadows.livejournal.com]

Looks good, babe.

[visionshadows.livejournal.com]

Thanks, love!

I'm not a tattoo person but that is GORGEOUS!

[visionshadows.livejournal.com]

Why thank you! :D
