Finally.....the tattoo

jmac · 07-30-2008

k, it's only 6 or so hours since so it's poofy etc, etc. I will post better pics in a few days but for now, here it is.

The dolphins, water are representative of duh, my love of paradise. The two baby dolphins are my two babies (well, close to 6' each but they're still my babies) and the fairy...I'm part Irish & have always loved fairies, also it's my new fairy angel that'll watch over me and help me live life to the fullest (I've been trying but a little help never hurt and my reminder). I think it's really, really cool (that's a good thing since it's kinda permanento

) All of them soaring out of the water is representative of our family soaring from cancer (hubby) and triumphing.
It was hilarious at first, the fairy had devil eyes from the blood seeping

but they're getting better kinda angelish

That looks great. Nice color and meaningful.

farmgirl · 07-30-2008

that is a very meaningful tattoo. Can't wait to see your next pics of it, looks good already to me! I'm too chicken to get one, have been debating on a nice small ankle one, but not a pain lover!!

I love those colors! Your artist did a great job.

Farmgirl - from my experience the pain of a tattoo is less then a quick burn but a little more then a stubbed toe and mine is right at the base of my neck on my spine. The general rule is the closer to bone the more it will hurt but everyone has different tolorances for pain

If you've had kids & didn't just spit them out, it's no worse than that & in my case a whole lot shorter. It's not for the faint of heart, a couple of spots were a little painful, more annoying pain than outright screaming pain. It's kinda sore this morning though.
For anyone innurested, his name is Aarom & he works at Iron Lotus Tattoo on Pembina Hwy in Winnipeg. He does great work, have a few friends who've had work done.

Very nice, great colors (especially the blues) and I love the meaning of it!

No, I sure didn't spit them out, had one breech. So, maybe could handle it!! How long did it take?

That's really nice!!!!

That's really beautiful. I love tattoos and admire other people's all the time. There is a woman whose arms, back and chest are covered. I've seen her around town and wish I could get some pics, because she's like a walking art gallery. Beautiful work, but I am not interested in having this "art" on my body. Nothing to do with the pain though, just never cared to have anything that permanent on me. I get bored easily

Henna would be perfect for moi.
