AW: A little OT

I just started my sleeve tattoo on my right arm and I'm just super excited about it so I figured I'd share it with my favorite girls on the web.

So, my wedding is mainly Rockabilly centered with the whole Nautical/old school tattoo theme and I'm so glad that I finally bulit up the courage to begin this project. I've been talking about this piece for 5 years! The concept behind my tattoo is the "Family Flower Garden" all of my close relatives got to choose a flower to represent them in the tattoo.

This is the Stencil and drawing that the artist put together on my arm for 2 hours!



This is during the needle work....not even half way through!



7 hours later!










It's sort of hard to make out flowers because it's just line work for now...but I'm still in love with it...lol.

    My next session is on the 7th of August. We'll start shading on that sitting. That should be about a 4 hour session. My artist said we still have about 20-30 hours worth of work left to put into it. It's going to be a PAINFUL labor of love lol.
