    Hey guys,

    After years of staring at this piece of art & lots of thinking about whether or not I wanted something permanently inked on me, I finally got it done.

    Photobucket

    What do you think? I chose the colors, the original art was black & white & yes I did get the artist’s permission to use it, her name is ShinigamiGirl & the original art was drawn in 2009.

            It has a really nice flow to it. Very nicely detailed. The artist did a great job!

            5 hours, & the artist says he wants me back after it heals a bit for another hour worth of refinement work. I can’t wait to see. I know the mane needs more colors, but we were both tired, it was starting to hurt a lot, so he told me to let it rest, & we’ll work on it again in a couple weeks.

              This is a rough draft of the one my husband wants, first new art I’ve drawn in a very long time.

              Final design & colors of the tattoo planned for my husband, granted the tattoo artist will do better than I did with my colored pencils, but you get the idea.

                SO awesome! Congrats on your first tattoo! If you dont mind me askinig (and feel free to PM me if you dont want to answer publically) how much per hour did your artist charge? Im not sure what’s “normal” for a full color tattoo-the artist I am hoping to get my first one from charges $90 an hour for color-so my small one will be about 2 hours (I hope not more than that…Ill have a hard time sitting still!)

                Yeah! Did he do it all in one sitting? I mean…5 straight hours of you sitting still? Or did he let you get up and walk around every hour or so to stretch.

                  He didn’t charge me an hourly rate, he gave me a flat rate of $250, which I think was low, he seemed really interested in doing this piece, so I think he reduced his rates. No, 5 hours from stencil art to finish with a few breaks for bathroom stretching & in his case a cigarette. He says we still have about an hour worth of work left, but we’ll get to that later after I’m healed up.

                  Actual inking hours were about 3.25 or so.
