Five on Friday - New Tattoo

Nothing this week really happened that was super interesting, except getting a new tattoo.. and starting a new job.. But that's for another time. So for todays five for Friday link up, I am going to share 5 facts about the newest ink addition.

The tattoo artist that did this tattoo is the same one that did the tattoo on my shoulder. In fact, I asked him to make this tattoo look like it was a part of the tattoo on my shoulder, so he did(: He is my favorite artist, and I will probably never go to anyone else again. Once you know, you know. Testing the water with tattoo artists is a bad idea, trust me I know. Not that I hate any of my tattoos, I just think that he does them exactly how I imagine.

He did a only a few stencils but mostly drew on the outline in red and yellow sharpie before actually tattooing.  The tattoo itself is all black and white though. In the last session he will actually use white ink to highlight the shading.

This tattoo has no real meaning, I just think it is beautiful. The tattoo on my shoulder, though, is for my Grandmother, Margaret. So since the sleeve is apart of the shoulder I guess we can just dedicate the whole thing to her, and our love for flowers!

This was about a four hour session, and we are only 1/3 of the way done. He has a lot of extra detail to add in, so what you see now, will not be everything added in the sleeve. I will have two more sessions and hopefully be completely done by May! My dad said it was too  big, I don't think its big enough.

 The outline is what he calls a "blood line" so it is a small scratchy gray line, that just guides him where to shade. Most of my tattoo is all shading. And it hurts like a biiootttchhhh. But I think it is absolutely beautiful, and there are no harsh outline lines, so it all flows together elegantly.

 

Pretty badass, huh? I am actually quite surprised I went through with it to be honest. I was so nervous and scared. I didn't even pass out, so yay me!!
 

 

Isn't my husband the most handsome thing in the world?
