Artist: Grez
Studio: Kings Avenue Tattoo
Tattoo: Pheonix & Lotus Blossom left side back piece
Grez drew up the size I now wear & one that was 10% smaller. I, of course, chose this tattoo to be as big as its original concept and vetoed the smaller one. (Alex & Grez were apparently very pleased about this, behind me.)
Was it painful? Of course. It was my first tattoo! Parts of it cover my ribs, my spine, my shoulder blades...there are plenty of painful spots.
Nudity? I was surprisingly okay with Grez seeing me topless because he thinks of it like my mom thought of her nude models: canvas. It doesn't bother me. Besides Alex was there & that helped with the pain & the embarrassment.
Today the outline was completed! It was a painful ride home, but I survived it. Even showed it off to my friends at Dunkin Donuts.
Still red! Just a few minutes after finishing up.
