I want to get a really fine line text tattoo in Cape Town. It's a long sentence, plus the authors name, along my left ulnar bone.

Mine has been done. Should I post the fresh tattoo or should I wait till it is healed?
Had its first wash today. It is a bit swollen. My tattoo did not hurt. Not really sure how to explain it but it was like a mild electric current. Some people say cat scratches but those sometimes really hurt.

mild electric shock to sunburn at the low end.
cat scratches to paper cut at the high end.
worst I had was the one across my shoulder blades I was carrying a bunch of tension in my shoulders due to the nerves of getting it done. and that just made it so much worse.
I want to have a touch up done on that one.

Post it.
Yes it is cold today. This is after the first wash.
I think she did a great job. 70% was my original design. She moved the paws and the frangipanis and did the watercolour splash of course
This is zoomed in - taken before she wrapped it
Each element in it represents someone in my life that make it worth staying.
That sentence is rather clumsy but you get what I mean.

Very nice.
I have white in it. She will refill the white once it has settled.
I went to Fallen Heroes. Their address has changed to 11 Mackay Ave, Blairgowrie, Randburg. Roxy (Roxanne) did my tat.

nice. I thought the water colour work looked familiar. its a very unique style so I am pretty sure I know that Roxy. but last I saw her she was at a place in Pretoria. not 100% sure its the same person but I only know of 2 artists that do watercolor work. Roxy and Megan. Megan is my cousin's wife and she won a few awards in Germany for her water colour work recently.I have white in it. She will refill the white once it has settled.

Here is tattoo no 2. Decided to put it near the other with the idea of joining them somehow.
In case you cannot tell what it is - it is a Lotus and a full moon. I have always been obsessed with the moon and its different stages. I used a photo a friend took of the blue supermoon last month. Would have put Saturn on too but it was too small.
Here it is with my other tattoo.
Actually, I do think I will have her add Saturn

Some of you know me from the other place.
I was banned by that man-child during lockdown because I pointed out that the clickbait peddlers could no longer be put on ignore.
And with that went my ability to post my progress. Not sure what the last images were but anyway- see below.
I haven't had any work done in a year, mainly due to the fact that I was offered a job overseas, and then the carpet was yanked out from beneath me- long story.
