Now, I'm no wimp- I birthed my child at home without any drugs but I was seriously in some pain yesterday. We flew our friend/tattoo artist out from the Big Island to get some work done this weekend. Richard got a huge Native American totem pole design on his leg and an outline of waves on his bicep. We ran out of time so he'll have to get it finished later. The first day I got a simple band of scattered stars around my wrist. A little pain but it was over shortly. Yesterday I got my chestpiece finished. OH MY GAWD- it hurt like hell. Definately not for the weak at heart. I was considering never getting tattoo'd again. I almost didn't get the butterfly because the 2 1/2 hours of torture were enough. Luckinly Erin called at that exact moment and gave me a pep talk and told me to have some wine, relax and just finish. Two ibuprofins and 2 glasses of wine later, I was done. And no- it did not help. I'm such a light weight I was drunk at the end of the butterfly but I still felt every scrape! The end result in beautiful and the never getting tattoo'd idea went out the window.
