pictures - tattoo session #1

[thoreau]

some folks had asked for pictures - so tonight after I removed the saran and showered up - I took some photos.

a farther away shot - to show the actual size of the area of the finished piece.
the art "on" is only the tail fin of the entire glyph.

close up after a shower. about 1/3 of the design is down.
There is almost no pain at all at this point.
It appears that the pain is mostly 'up front'

and a reminder of the scope of the entire Tlingit/Haida formline glyph

Bikerbaer put his mind elsewhere by talking to me, while the dude getting tattooed in the next stall got erotic rubs from his girlfriend.

Hence is the good and bad of selecting a tattoo artist. If you get a gay one, you'll be able to kiss, cuddle, and maybe even jerk off on your buddy to make him (and you) feel better.

If you go to a straight one, you can select a 250 pound hairy bear-type artist with a beautiful beard down to his navel, but have to limit yourself to hugs.
