Cork Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Well, I just prepped myself for my appointment with Dana tomorrow. I'm no stranger to hair removal, but to only have cleared one side of my body just feels really weird. Shoulders to knees is now as smooth as it's ever been. Hopefully that will help make me feel less awkward. He might be used to it, but I'm not. :o Avery Taylor, MGblues, ironchef and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure to document the process with lots of photos so that you can share! :p I'm heading back to see Rubendall tomorrow for more work on my back. We're going to shade in the rest of my thigh...maybe even start some color! hogg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bugxjuice Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 This thread has been making me envious for a while now, so I decided to get the ball rolling on a back piece. We're in the very basic planning stages right now, just throwing around ideas, and it won't get started until July. Needless to say, I'm pretty excited, right now my torso is completely bare so it will be nice to start chipping away at it. I'll post more details and of course photos as things progress. else and hogg 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are cover ups on my shoulder blades in the body of the brown snake. The tattoos were almost 25 years old, so the had a little wear and tear on them and were able to be hidden nicely.

So glad I'm not sticking to the sheets anymore... I sleep on my stomach. Not the most pleasant nor more comfortable but it's only for a couple of weeks. Can't imagine sleeping on my back after the torture I endured today, hahaha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
