Today seems to be a day for getting shit done

[sweetprince]

Remember how I said I was getting a tattoo? Well, I did. It also turned out much cheaper than I think any of us were expecting, so, HAPPY DAY.



My tattoo artist came up with a song along with Meredith something like "You're getting a tattoo, you're getting a tattoo, you're getting a tattoo...and it hurts." The other artists were like "SHUT UP KEITH."


This also randomly turned out to be the guy who does all of Rihanna's work, which incidentally I did not know until Misha looked his portfolio up. He had a new tattoo on his leg and I figured out when I looked at it that it was an umbrella and the letter R so clearly he had let Rihanna tattoo his leg. This turned out to be fact. He got in trouble.


And there it is, my heraldic bird. It's based off of John Tenniel illustrations from the original pressing of Alice and Wonderland, which yes, I know random, but I LOVE HIM, so.

That's gorgeous!!! I love how it circles your wrist; really nice!!! I have mine in almost the same spot, but it doesn't come around like yours does! Beautiful!

Yes, I'm very happy with it. It was custom work, so I knew there was a chance that I was going to be like WHAT ARE YOU DOING, KEITH? But it turned out well.

It was supposed to cost me $300 to 400, because I was also paying for him to design it. But he ended up finishing it much quicker than either of us expected so I only spent $200, which was an hours worth of work. It hurt over the veins and over the knobs of my wrist, as I'd been lead to expect.

But I've been dreaming about it, so I had to just buck up and do it. They were surprised that I'd chose them for my first tattoo.

Wasn't so bad, honestly!

[dark-reaction.livejournal.com]

Seriously. He was surprised that I liked it on the first try.

[dark-reaction.livejournal.com]

Aww, I'm so glad you think so!

[dark-reaction.livejournal.com]

Ah, thank you! It really wasn't so bad, I usually can't watch, but I found myself transfixed.

[dark-reaction.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I really like it too.

[dark-reaction.livejournal.com]

SWEET! I'm glad you like it!

[dark-reaction.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[dark-reaction.livejournal.com]

That was one part I was really clear on! I'm really glad you like it.

[dark-reaction.livejournal.com]

Thanks!
