Tattoo time, the second
So, I got it done last night! And it fkin hurt like hell!
It's only the outer lines so far, no filling/shading has been done yet. But to be honest, I'd be a load happier if I was through and done with it already. He had to do the outer lines 3 times, to get them to a proper strength.
The first time was 'okay'. It stung, but I could cope with it, and I was high on adrenaline.
The second time was getting harder already, the adrenaline wearing out and the pain finally registering on my nerve-ends.
The third time ... that was Hell throwing the ugliest party in aeons, on my back; no adrenaline left for pain-dampening, I felt each and every single penetration of the tattoo machine.
When he was done, it felt like a grade-A sunburn.

It was better today, I hardly felt it as painful, and I could even lean onto chairs and stuff again. It's looking okay so far, I can't wait to see the whole thing though! The drawings he made are just awesome!
But it'll take another 2-3 sessions of sado-masochistic torture before I'm there. By the end of next week, I should be finished. Wish me luck, else I might not survive to come back with pics...
