It’s awesome. What you’re feeling is pretty common for a first huge piece or first visible piece. I get it every time with hand and neck tattoos. You’ll adjust to the change in your appearance and start to love it, before almost forgetting you even have it. And it looks cool as shit

I hope this is the correct forum for this question.

I will be near Tampa for a few days in November and might like to get tattooed while I'm there. Does anyone recommend any artists and/or shops worth checking out in the area?

My most recent tattoo is a lion head door knocker, by Dustin Golden

One of the first tattoos I got is of a bunch of bees flying out of a hive with honeycomb pattern in the background. Bees are great.

I'm also an atheist who is intrigued by religious imagery. Here's my tattoo by Matt Wes of St. Denis, who according to legend was beheaded by pagans for preaching the gospel and then carried his disembodied head through town while it continued to speak the good word

and here's one much closer to my actual religious beliefs, Charles Darwin by Mario Desa

My new favorite...

Kick ass. Who did that one?

A great fucking documentary (besides Mark of Cain) is Blatnoi Mir. Nearly fucking IMPOSSIBLE to see anywhere. At least in the internet.

Any idea where one might find this?

I hope you sued them for wrongful termination and harassment based on your religious beliefs

It's not meant to be a Motorhead tattoo so to speak, but it is taken from a Motorhead song

laser removal is the worst pain you will (hopefully) ever feel. BUT its quick and worth it. kinda like cigarette burns.

Cigarette burns are always worth it
