[WebLady]

Here is the sketch the artist sent me today ~

I think it is pretty good, we may change a few little things though.

I am excited to get it soon :whoohoo:

[ChibiAiChan]

wow that looks AWESOME!! I wanna get a tattoo but i;m scared to lol

[SerendipityCrafts]

ohhhhhh that's pretty! I like it :) Is it going to be in colour?

ETA to add .... what are you changing? The only thing I might suggest is to change the butterfly that is flying down so that he is flying upwards :)

[WebLady]

ohhhhhh that's pretty! I like it :) Is it going to be in colour?The tree will be black and gray and the butterflies will be full color :)

ETA .... what are you changing? The only thing I might suggest is to change the butterfly that is flying down so that he is flying upwards :)That is one of the things I want to change ;-) Also I think move the bigger butterfly down some and maybe change the shape of the tree; I don't like how it curves at the top and I don't think I like the leaves.

LOL - After looking at it again, there were about 4 or 5 things I want to change. I hope dude is not upset with me :notsure: But I am the one that has to wear it forever ;-)

I hear ya ... if I was ever to get one it would have to be exactly how I envisioned it. LOL Anything less and he/she would be drawing it again and again and again.

[KMS]

What an awesome design. Be as picky as you wanna be, girl. I give you permission!

[SouthernQueenBride]

Soooo cool! Where are you planning on putting it?
And don't forget ... we are gonna wanna see the pics afterwards!:frogg:

[Kirby]

That will look awesome!

[frenchie]

Ooh fun :) It's really nice - and yeah don't settle for anything less than just perfect. Y'oull have to wear it all of your life so may as well have a perfect tattoo ;)

[WebLady]

Thanks everyone; I am excited to get it right and get it on me!

It will be on my calf and will incorporate my first tattoo ~

It looks great I have a butterfly on my back.

[HisMuse]

[WebLady]

I :heart: it, it's beautiful!! So unique.
Thanks; I am excited to get the design finished and get it inked on me.

I sent the artist some comments today; so hopefully he will get back to me soon with the second draft :frogg:

[HisMuse]

I'm so anxious to get working on mine. I really need to send a picture of it to a place to see what they can do.

[Nekochanpurr]

Ooo!! Thats going to be pretty!

[WebLady]

So I finally got the design tweaked to where I like it; here is the final sketch ~

We decided to do the tree and butterflies full color and the clouds/fog and moon in black and gray.

It will probably be next weekend before I can get it, but I am excited :geek:

[FLAteacher]

Wow that looks like pain. Lots of intricate designs...ugh!
I have 2 tats of butterflies but they are not THAT big....compared to your new one.

[WebLady]

Wow that looks like pain. Lots of intricate designs...ugh!
I have 2 tats of butterflies but they are not THAT big....compared to your new one.Yeah, the estimate was 4-6 hours; won't be fun, but it will be worth it ;)

This is not the biggest one I have either ;) I have a much larger piece on my back that took I think a little over 6 hours; but this new design is more detailed.

[nic1124]

Love the butterflies. Can't wait to see the finished piece. I'm so craving another tattoo right now, maybe this winter.....I'm long overdue.

[RevMatty]

Better you then me:D Cause I'll admit I'm deathly afraid of needles.
I even passed out when I had my ear pierced. (Low blood sugar that day)
I know I'm such a wimpy man:bblol:

[NicksBride]

ohh I love it!! Where are you getting it? Colored? It looks awesome can't wait to see it done!

[SerendipityCrafts]

That is pretty .... I really like the changes and oh, the colour possibilities are endless!

Even though I am not afraid of needles, I do not go looking for pain and so, I agree with Matt ... better you than me. :)

[WebLady]

ohh I love it!! Where are you getting it? Colored? It looks awesome can't wait to see it done!
It will be on my outer left calf; we decided to do the tree and butterflies full color and leave the clouds/fog and the moon black and gray.

I am excited to get it; probably next weekend.

ETA - Yeah, I don't really like needles; I actually don't like blood tests and such much at all. But the tattoo is something I can handle because I look forward to the finished piece :D

[RevMatty]

I do have to say though, I agree with everyone else. It does look cool.

[WebLady]

Thanks :)

I can't wait to get it; I was gonna get it today, but I am just getting over a cold. Then dude doesn't work Mon - Wed; then I was thinking it might not be good to leave my dogs at home alone for so long.

DH works through the week and wouldn't get home till like 8pm and the dogs have never been left for more than 5 hours at a time. So unless dude can work me in later in the day on Thurs or Fri, then it will be Sat or Sun next week before I get it.

[WebLady]

I just talked to the guy at the tattoo shop and I am getting my new tattoo on Sunday! I am so excited!

[Kirby]

Yay! Can't wait to see it!

[HisMuse]

Awesome, you inspired me to look for a new place to update my tattoo. I can't wait to see how yours comes out.

[CustomRoses]

THATS HUGE awesome though

[WebLady]

THATS HUGE awesome though
hehe - I have one on my back that is bigger ;)

[CustomRoses]

[WebLady]

[RevMatty]

That could be taken so many ways :rofl:

[WebLady]

I am going to get my new tattoo tomorrow (in like 12 hours!) I am excited and will post pics when I get home :D

I am off to bed now :frogg:

[Measha]

Weee! I would be scared stiff, eeep needles! Can't wait to see :)

[WebLady]

I am leaving here in a few; I am both excited and nervous :geek:

[lize566]

Yay! Can't wait to see the finished product!! Hopefully you are about done by now...I don't think I could handle getting a tattoo for this long!!

[WebLady]

OK, here it is ...

Most of the background is gray shading and will fade as it heals; it sort of looks bad right now.

The whole thing ended up only taking 3 1/2 hours, but still wasn't fun ;) I really like it though, so it was worth it :D

[soontobemrs]

WOW - that's gorgeous!

[WebLady]

Thanks :bbmrgreen:

[val24]

i love your tattoo he did an awesome job!!!!

[nic1124]

It looks awesome! I love it and I'm totally jealous now :rassberry:

[TangoWedding]

Very purty!!

That makes me wanna get more! I guess I'll wait until after the wedding...FH would kill me! Hehehe!

[Kirby]

That is so cool! Your artist did a wonderful job!

[ChibiAiChan]

that looks awesome!!! My hubby keeps saying he wants me to get a tattoo, lol

[Dani]

He did a good job. I love the colors on the butterflies.

[WebLady]

Thanks everyone, I love it too :D

I can't wait until it heals and the shading fades out; it will really "pop" then :frogg:

[Goin2thechapel]

WOW...I love how the artist was able to include your first tattoo...It looks like it belongs there

[WebLady]

Thanks; I thought it turned out good too! He even touched it up so that it looked as fresh as the rest ... it hurt alot over the scar though :rassberry:

[SerendipityCrafts]

Beautiful work ..... and I am so glad to live vicariously through you!

[RevMatty]

Sweet!!!!
Unfornately I get weak, just thinking of the needle, poking me 1000 times a minute for hours.
I know sissy man:bbrazz:

I know sissy man:bbrazz:My hubby is the same way ;) It's ok, tattoos are not for everyone and for many different reasons :)

But I am glad that you (and others) can at least appreciate mine and be happy for me :frogg:

[RevMatty]

I nominate Brandi, as the tattoo canvas for anyone that is afraid of needles.:frogg:

It was worth a try

[domeafavor]

Brandi, it looks great!

[WebLady]

Brandi, it looks great!
Thanks :bbmrgreen:

The swelling and redness is starting to subside (but my ankle is a little swollen :notsure:) but now it is starting to get to the itchy stage ;)

[domeafavor]

Thanks :bbmrgreen:

can you put Neosporin on it, it could help with the itchy stage :)

[WebLady]

can you put Neosporin on it, it could help with the itchy stage :)
Not Neosporin, but Bacitracin (sp?); it is sort of like Neosporin. But at this stage it is best to just use a pure lotion to keep the skin moisturized.

[WebLady]

Here is a pic of my feet; can you tell in this pic that my left ankle and foot are swollen ~

[SenoritaFuego06]

Brandi that looks AWESOME!! I have always wanted to get a tattoo but never found something that I wanted badly enough to put on my body. I guess if I ever find that one thing I will but until then i will admire others tats. My MOH has a huge griffin on her side and a panther on her other side. So I have plenty of tats to look at lol

[WebLady]

Well, it has pretty much healed now so I thought I'd post a newer pic

http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff265/IGLV/jan08071.jpg

Just to compair, here is the pic of it after I first got it ~

[lize566]

Wow there is such a big difference!!! I've never seen a tattoo as big as that one, or with as much color so I never realized it did that, but I like it so much better now! The butterflies are so vibrant and they really stand out. It's so pretty!

[WebLady]

Thanks :D

I love how the shading gives it more dimension :grinhappy:
