TattooedMumma

Thought I'd add upcoming tattoos to this thread 🙂 
 I've had a few tattoos already this year, and I've now got some appointments coming up over the next 2 months.
April I have two bookings during school holidays (working in a school, holidays means I can snag a weekday booking finally!) . First with Kyle on the 16th for a flower on my right elbow and a seahorse just down from that on the fleshier inner elbow/forearm area). Keen for it, but it's also going to suck a fat one! 
 The week after I go back to Andrew for a full day. We're hoping to get a few more on the backs of my legs (cicada, bat, eye cloud, double ended candle) and webs added to either side of the heart that I have on my sternum/under boob area.  
 I've also had confirmation from Kyle for May 18 to add to my left arm which is now looking lonely in comparison to my right. Hoping to add a lady head to the outer bicep and fan to the elbow ditch. Just depends on time. He's fast as, but he may have other bookings around my appointment too . 
Initially I wanted the cloud on my right elbow, but Kyle is doing a flower to fit the awkward gap shape. Then I was going to put the cloud on the front of my shin, but now we're going with a semi matching/opposite  theme on the back of the legs. Just a bit of fun. 
I'll likely get my left elbow done before it gets to the awkward gap stage, to allow for more freedom in design.  Who knows, I'll probably just slap another flower there anyway 😆. 
 

more pictures!
I also got a traditional piece in May! I must say it's my favourite piece so far :)

You can't have too many skulls!
 

very nice, I like it a lot, 
 
I need more skulls.

Fancied a skull on my foot 🤷‍♂️left head space to make connect into a leg sleeve most likely

As my artist says, “Just because it hurts is no reason to not get a tattoo.”

Definitely! 
Funds were the reason I didn't wnd up covered years ago.
I chatted to Kyle about my elbow yesterday too. Because I work in a school, during the school term I'm limited to Saturday bookings, so we're going to try a weekday next holidays which is the end of April. Gives me time to psych myself up for an elbow smashing too😆
 

Back at the shop again today! 
Two tattoos from Binger; a flaming skull from his flash and a reverse mermaid that he drew for me. I was meant to get this last year but the universe was against me.
These are both on my right leg- lower calf and outside ankle. 
 
So bloody happy with them both! He also touched up the axe and swallow for me .
March is my birthday month, so it would be rude not to pay him another visit then😁.

Right leg has stars and dots as filler. Left doesn't. 

Thanks! I'm amused by the colour progression in the bruising today. It's not sore, but looks like it definitely should be!
 
I have also inquired about a couple specific dates for my elbow, as I've realised I'll be in town for some professional development.  Will see if it's enough time or if I just have to wait for a Saturday to come free.
Been looking at more aquatic themed ideas for the elbow. Otherwise it will be a flower.

Nice!

So Kyle had a cancellation at 2pm.... ended up going in for an impromptu elbow ditch pearl in a clam shell! 
from stencil to walking out, 1hr total!
I expected it to be horrible but it was actually fine. I just can't bend real well well at the moment 🤣

Hey guys. Long time no post. Heres an update to this thread. I finally found another artist i liked and got the tattoo i wanted. Check it out. 🙂
I actually was aware of the artist for quite some time but it took me a while to finally be able to make an appointment with them. 
Its a tattoo of the character Morpeko from Pokemon. 

 

My elbows weren't the worst, but it still hurt. Hahaha. Prepare yourself. 😂

Even if it hurts, it's a small body part, so it doesn't take a long time to tattoo.

Thanks, hopefully I'm one of the ones that it isn't too bad for. Either way, I won't be avoiding it as I want them done. My sternum was easy, but the front of my thigh was shit- so who knows! 
I filled out a booking form and requested March, so we will see how we go!

True. Different people react differently. I hear how bad the back is, but I almost fell asleep several times when I had my back done.

at least for me, my elbows were not too bad.Don't over think it, you might be surprised how it's not that bad.

Just wanted to share some new flash I got yesterday, my favorite tattoo shop was running a Friday the 13th promotion and I decided to go for it! Getting custom drawn flash is so much fun. you can really tell how much the artists love each one of their drawings and I am always proud to wear the best of their work. Tattoos like this make me very happy 😊 This one was done by Max at Pretty Sturdy Tattoo in Denver. He has tattooed me before, I love his work. Really all the artists at the shop are amazing-  the shop is covered floor to ceiling in all their flash paintings and it’s just really cool. I’m pretty sure my whole arm will be covered in their tattoos eventually. 
This pic is from last night right after I cleaned it up and put my first saniderm dressing on it. I bled a lot more than I usually do with this one, but maybe it was just a tender spot. Today it looks pretty gnarly but it has calmed down quite a bit and doesn’t sting as much. We are well on the way to a smooth healing process 
 

Touched-up knee and a few new little space fillers.

Nice. Elbows are no fun. Glad I’ve only got two of them!
