tattoo

tattoos
i did it. i got the tattoo that i've been waiting on for some time now. about three months in the process, i finally decided on a design. i brought a couple of my doodles to my tattoo artist and had him work up a sketch. i spent a couple months tweaking it and this is the result. i'm really happy with it.

of course this pic is fresh after it was done....so it looks disgustingly painful. and yes. it did hurt. (why do people ask that?) yes. a bunch of needles stuck into your skin very rapidly for 2 and a half hours straight is painful and yes, it hurts.

below are some pics during the work.
