Idyllic Chick

Wow! That was so much fun!

Chris and I spent nearly five hours at Body Tech in Alachua last night. I got a Golden Snitch tattoo, and Chris got a dark mark. This is my... lessee... eighth tattoo, if you don't count the little scratched double heart that has since been covered up. About twelve and a half hours worth of ink! Anyhoo, it was a fantastic experience. I adore Wayne. C&I had such a good time chatting and laughing with him and feeling the burn. He has a light touch, and this tat didn't hurt in the same way as many of my other tattoos have. I felt like quite the trooper! It was sosososo nice to be able to lie back and relax instead of getting backwork done where I had to scoot to the back of a stool and bend over as far as I could. That was very uncomfortable, making the prone position I took last night so much more calming.

I am soooo very pleased with what Wayne did with the snitch design. The shading and highlights are going to come out beautifully. The detail that he put into this piece is amazing. He spent a lot of time thinking about it and drawing it, then took nearly two hours embedding it into my skin. Yesterday I couldn't wait to get it, and now I can't wait for it to heal! It's going to be so pretty! My last half a dozen or so tattoo sessions have been on my backpiece, so it will be very nice to be able to see my new tattoo often and admire it on a regular basis.

Because I don't use nearly enough of my allotted web space, I've uploaded all of the photos from our evening's adventure. Please go see them here.

Oh! I'll put a couple of the real snitch photos in there as a reference. And I would like to point out that the red shading under my snitch in the later photos are only red because of the bloodletting. These will be a very faint grey.

Tee!
