I've had this new tattoo planed for some time, as most people know. I finally drew out a simple sketch of what i had pictured.
I finally decided I just needed to get it done! Not that I actually have the money...Anywho - I was referred by a pal Kristen to a FABULOUS artist, Jesse, who works at Underground Tattoo. (if anyone is craving ink, i strongly suggest him.) And he turned my simple sketch into perfection that i would never have been able to imagine. Im thoroughly in love with it, so far. Its hardly half done, but I can already see exactly where its going, and I know i will just adore the end product. Here are a few pictures for those of you interested in how its coming along:
This is the main piece. It's going to be a tree that fades from being fully alive & green - to a dead crackly tree - into birds. I got the birds worked on yesterday. Coming along nicely eh?
ALMOST BOOB SHOT! :) Then, as you can see, the birds fly through my delicious arm pit (i did apologize to jesse for having to be so close to such a smelly part - his face was right up in there!) and onto my shoulder. The end.
P.S. Yes, it hurt like an insane crazy ass bitch.
looks awesome! i wish i were brave enough for such a thing. someday...
