My B/Day Present..my one/only TATTOO

Topless In Texas · 07-24-2002, 01:40 AM

okay......i've been in hiding...truth of the matter is my birthday weekend started last Thursday night and ended last sunday night!!!!!!!!!!!!
My weekend was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was everything I hoped for and more!!!!!!!! I got my wish....(one of them , anyway..) I FINALLY GOT MY TATTOO!!!!!!!! Here's a couple of shots...I know that some of you are not into this, so dont slam me too bad!!!! it took alot of thought to pick out the right one..!!!!!!!!!!! A tattoo is a VERY PERSONAL THING! and DONT ever get inked just for the thought of doing it!!!! NOT ONLY IS IT EXTREMELY PAINFUL....I see alot doing it just to say they have..............It must mean something to you and it should be very special and something! that is a part of your life!!!!!!

Ive wanted one for 15 years and finally decided to do it...Sometimes when things are so overwhelming in your life and you feel the need to capture it somehow~it just comes to you... so, here is what we've come up with....Its now become a part of my heart and soul....it hurt like HELL!!!!!!!!!!!

.I will need to get some touch up in the next few months to even out the eyes...and add a few white whiskers, but over all I'm very happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks Driveshaft for your support and being there for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Heres a few pics in Chronilical order....................

no pain yet...............

Topless In Texas · 07-24-2002, 01:51 AM

ok....by the time the outline was done and the shading was done it was time for a smoke break and a few Tequizas.............
HOLYMOLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS RANKS UP THERE WITH CHILD BIRTH........(Keep in mind, I have a LOW threshhold w/ pain!)......youd think w/ my first one, i'd got a little smaller...but theres that sentimental thing there! Damn........

Topless In Texas · 07-24-2002, 01:53 AM

With a little color

slow91vert · 07-24-2002, 01:56 AM

That looks like a pretty cool tat. I have 4 of them, and your right get something that means something to ya. The only one i like anymore is the checkered flag on the side of my neck. Because no matter what racing is always going to be a part of my life.

Topless In Texas · 07-24-2002, 01:56 AM

Could ya'll download #5 okay?????? I hope so! Heres another shot!

Topless In Texas · 07-24-2002, 02:02 AM

Topless In Texas · 07-24-2002, 02:17 AM

I'm hurting now...but I guess thats to be expected...I"ve allready had people comment on it..Too bad I have to cover it at work! I could not be happier w/ my choice....the original pic is the painting hanging over my bed and Flash added the tribal outline........I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!! BUT.......... I think I will wait a couple of months for the touchups.....I'm not ready to expierence that again!!!!!!!!!1 NOT quite yet! TNT

Crazy Horse GT · 07-24-2002, 02:40 AM

great looking tat, christine, i have 8

, but they are all about 20 years old, i checked into getting 2 covered, omg they want more than i probably paid for 7 , one was free, from my bud from germany, one of mine is on his business card,

, bremerhaven, i think, he gave me the free one when i left, italy, they did'nt hurt me , just annoying like bee sting's, sharp work though, enjoy it, keep neosporin on it for about a week, when it start's peeling, let it dry out, i guess they already told you all that, odie has one, i made her wait 2 years to get it for a reason, everyone look's at me like im a convict or something, heheh. good luck with it, cya. marty.

Topless In Texas · 07-24-2002, 03:03 AM

They said that Neosporin sucks the color out....they reccomended A&D or Bacitracin. I'm a little concerned , cuz its starting to peel and the white parts that were so awesome at first are fading!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Evidently when we went back up there on Sunday for them to photograph it, they said we had TOO much ointment on it.....now I'm paranoid! . I have a feeling I'll be touching up the white...I'm just hoping that I will not lose my vibrant color!!!!!!!!!!!
No pools or tubs or sun for 2-4 weeks...ugghhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I might as well be condemended to HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm gonna keep like 50 sunscreen on it when its safe to do so cuz i dont wana lose my color~!~~~~~~~~~ any words of wisdom????
Thanks for your help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TNT

Crazy Horse GT · 07-24-2002, 03:17 AM

well i used to just put stuff on mine for about 3 day's, then let it dry, but if you have clothing rubbing , it's different, jeez the last one i got was in 1985, so i guess i aint much help, but it never failed someone would alway's smack me there, just dont peel the scabs, i do remember that, btw , i started just getting black, because color, esp red soak's into your body. hope i was some help? take care & good luck, that is a unique tat.

Topless In Texas · 07-24-2002, 03:53 AM

Ya, you wont find another one like this one! It is unique!!

God, I had to edit this post!!!! I sounded like a broken record!!!!! Why didn't someone tell me I kept repeating myself?????? Guess I'm just excited!!!

SORRY!

cyberstang5.0 · 07-24-2002, 07:29 AM

Wow, it looks really good!

Coupe Devil · 07-24-2002, 08:07 AM

Sweet...... dude......

Brad

Mustangbelle306 · 07-24-2002, 08:40 AM

Congrats Chris! I could never do it, but yours looks awesome

Suits your grrrrrrrrrrreat personality

*groan*

Come on, I was TRYING to be funny!

07-24-2002, 09:27 AM

Hey Christine, thats cool. I bet it hurt like h*ll. You brave lady, I have one on my right thigh. Its a rose with a buterfly landing on the rose. My color has stayed in really good. Had it done in 86 in Hawaii, even the yellow and Marty said it would fade fast. But its still there. I'll post mine, I want to get a camera anyway, like real soon.

Ok I got a funny story.....When Marty and I went to the tatoo shop it was next to the biker bar we hung out in. Well the shop had bars all around it. And you had to stand outside and you could watch people getting there tatoo's. Well my turn came up and he opened the gate, and Marty started to come in and they would't let him. Man that pissed him off. I was ok though, so he watched for a while and then finally said "hey I'm going next door for a beer" so I asked the guy if it was ok if I had him get me one. The guy said sure. Here "I'LL" get you one. So I sat there drinking there 16oz Buds the whole time. It doesn't sound as funny here, but if you could have seen the look on my mans face. He was pissed.....hehehehe..and oh did I swell up, my thigh looked 3 times its size...Odie

Eric4Nitrous · 07-24-2002, 11:43 AM

Wow Christine..that's a bad tattoo..I got one about three years ago of the barbwire as they call it around my arm..then I got one of a nitrous bottle on the middle of my back..and below it, it says "When you just gotta win" and has it purging..that thing cost me out the ***** to have it done. Chris was right when he said use Cocoa Butter..that's all i ever put on mine. It works.

polara7777 · 07-24-2002, 12:54 PM

Sweet tat! Looks damn good. I have 2 dragons one on my arm and another on my shoulder. The one on my arm is coming out of my arm and colored. The one on my back is a tribal dragon that I never got colored in. I think it looks better outlined. Going to get another one just like it on my other shoulder facing the opposite direction. In the future I'm going to get another dragon I found that I love on my other arm but that is gonna take some $$$. Also going to add a background to the dragon on my arm. I'll try and get some pics up when I can.
