done! donedonedone! my artist had a lot of fun working with the designs i'd bring in each time i added to this. and i think both of us had a blast with the sittings.

as most people who are looking at this know, designed by me.

apparently i sit very well, even when it makes my spleen want to die. :flirty:

had my final 2 hrs on it tonight.

this was after i cleaned it off. still technically uhm. crusty.

slight angle to show the wind swirls added to my shoulder to round off that part

:icondonotplz::iconusemyartplz:
please do not copy my work. the project has been a YEAR in the making and i've put a lot of time, effort, and money into this piece, which has a lot of subtle symbolism that i keep to myself, because it's for me.
this entire design is custom for me, designed and drawn by ME. inked by my artist with her eye for flare, custom by HER. copying this tattoo is art theft, since my permission is not and will not be given. kthx.

Hi, I'm thinking of getting a tattoo down my side, kind of like this except of a marigold, but I'm nervous about the whole pain thing. It would be my first tattoo as well, so would it be too intense?

sometimes its actually good when your first tattoo is in a really sensitive area, cuz you have nothign to compare it to, and then any tattoo you get afterward will be a piece of cake ;)

besides, the pain is temporary!

very nice. really, you have a good tat artist.

and you shouldnt worry about anyone stealing your design. this is original work, with your ideas, and your tattoo artist's personal touch and flavor.

if someone looked at this and became inspired, im sure they would want do the same.
that is, use it as a starting point, add their own personality to it, along with the artists personal touch. most tattoo artists wont do direct copies, even if you bring a photograph of a peice, like your photo here.
they will take the design, put their own spin on it, tweak it here and there, and make it an orginal of their own.

at least thats the way i work, and the way all of the tat artists i know, work.
we dont copy. we make it our own...use it as a break off point.

of course, their are people who would try and copy line by line, if you demand it, or if they are backroom inksters, but even then its not gonna be exactly the same.

it cant be duplicated precisely, and YOU know that its an original, your design, that it was on YOU first, and having someone copy it means precisely that. its a COPY.

so, no worries watson. be happy, dont worry
