Tifffany Posted November 29, 2012 Author Share Posted November 29, 2012 A little over 4 hours. I can't wait until its done. The next few weeks are going to seem like an eternity. Can't wait to see it finished! :) Do you know approx how long it will take to shade?? It's funny... some of my pieces I wanted to sit there longer (it was a fun night in the shop and wasn't very painful) and others I couldn't wait til they were done... but I've not done over 3 hours yet.

He's thinking another 3 1/2-4 hours. I did pretty well for the first 3 1/2 hours, but it got pretty uncomfortable past that point. It didn't help that I slept about a hour and a half the night before. It's my first tattoo, and I was so nervous I really psyched myself out. Throw a 3 1/2 hour drive on top of that and I was not in the best frame of mind at the time. When are you starting your next piece? Any ideas yet in the subject?

When are you starting your next piece? Any ideas yet in the subject? Wow far drive!! Will you be making that again to go see him? Did you make that travel to see a specific artist? Definitely get more sleep next time! I always get super nervous right before but as soon as the first line starts I'm better. Major butterflies. I made headway last time and when my artist asked if I was ready I said "yes" instead of "no"... lol I am going on vacation in 9 days so I am healing up now. Then when I get back I am going to pop in and try to schedule something about a week out. I have a small space left on my leg (above the pineapple) that I want to fill with a tiki. I am also planning on putting some rope around my ankle with an anchor on my foot to cover some scars (that are still healing) and also to kind of define the end of the work. After that I am going to start above the knee but not sure if I want to keep it similar or maybe flip it and go back and grey with the knee as a transition, But I am thinking of hear/speak/see no evil skulls... sugar skulls if I stay with color. I am not set on that idea yet tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a great experience, and I plan on having him do my future work too, I love the ideas you have, personally I would say stick with color. Everything is nice and bright and really flows together. You got to keep that going IMO. Tifffany 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going to be busy for awhile! I keep telling my husband I am going to get a joy buzzer tattoo'ed on my palm to add a little fun to life but he says NO! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reverend1 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 What's she got so far?? Kore's wife did a floral and butterfly piece that goes from her knee to her calf. It's a rose, tulip, daffodil, and two butterflies. It's on the site somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
