Wow. Just wow.
I don't know if I think you're amazing or a little bit crazy! Probably a bit of both  

So I told my parents yesterday about my tattoo plans... bearing in mind I'm 42 years old.
My mum: "oh dear, but you won't be able to wear vest tops and stuff in the summer then?"
Me: "errrr, no? What?"
She genuinely thought I was going to go through all that and NOT show it off? Mad woman!

That rib piece isn't mine, you guys do realise that right?  It's just to show the style of flowers I'm having in my new shoulder design. 9 days!

I recently traveled 5,000 miles to get my first tattoo– a full sleeve done in just 5 days. I made a blog to chronicle my journey and share some real first-hand advice. Everything you need to know about my experience, my artists, as well as some gnarly pics of what its really like to tattoo for 24 hours.

Welcome to the form!! Awesome rib piece!! I look forward to seeing your cover up - it sounds like a great way to cover something you're not totally happy with.

I'm already planning my 2nd, 3rd and 4th (well, technically my 5th, 6th and 7th but I barely count the previous 3 really!), tattooing has come on SO much in the 20 years since I had my first one.

welcome to the forums AND the addiction Alicia.
glad to have you here.
that rib piece rocks !
