Number 12

Outline done

At the end of session 1

The cover up of the ribbon and the armband below it started yesterday.

Andy started tattooing at around 12.30 and we kept going until just before 5pm.

Unfortunately, it's not finished yet so I'll have to go back for another session, but I'll have to wait for this to heal first.

At the moment my arm feels like a piece of steak that's been walloped with one of those wooden mallets and my bed is covered in ink LOL

But I think it looks awesome and I already know how I'm going to replace the tribute!

Tattoo #11

Tattoo that is!

Yesterday I went to see my tattoo artist; haven't seen him for years - he met a woman and moved to London with her several years ago.

Another guy took over his shop while he was gone (he did my tribute ribbon for dad).

Well, Andy came back a couple of years ago so yesterday we went to see him.

I came away with this tattoo - it's an ambigram of the words 'knit' and 'purl'

Pretty cool, huh?

While I was there, Andy had a good look at the ribbon I had done for Dad; he doesn't like it - he says the writing is all squished and hard to read, the ribbon doesn't look right and the tattooist has managed to scar the skin.

He has recommended I get a coverup done and have the ribbon redone.

Tattoo #12 is now booked!

Happy Valentine’s Day

As I didn't have anyone to celebrate with, I decided to do something different! I had a memorial tattoo done for Dad of a purple cancer ribbon - purple is for pancreas cancer - with Dad and his birth date - death date on.

I also found a gorgeous little shop which sells loads of gothic clothing, I bought a purple and black top and a full length crushed velvet coat :0)
