My first Tattoo... (Rat Related)

[Scythe]

So, today, I ventured out to Pickering with Jenniferkelley to get my first tattoo. It hurt like hell(I wont lie about that-- it did!) and I did faint, but it was well worth it! It's of (obviously to us) rat footprints, and a rats tail(or shadow of). The footprints are obviously bigger than an actual rats, which was done on purpose so that some parts of it just werent 'dots' on my skin, and so it could be a little more detailed.

The tattoo is a little grungy because the tattoo hadn't been cleaned yet(and isn't supposed to be until tomorrow morning) and was still supposed to have bandages on(but we took them off for 5 minutes so Jenniferkelley could take pictures for me ), so don't mind that. The tattoo is on the top, and behind, my left shoulder.

Very cool indeed! I want my first tattoo to be a rat image as well... Just don't have the funds for it at the moment.
Yours is such a neat idea. Lovely.

 

[hopefloats]

that is perfect, a great idea.

I keep changing my mind on whether or not I want a tattoo(s) and this makes me want one. Beautiful!

I like that tattoo a lot. It reminds me of the Buddhist and Islamic traditions of depicting holy men by just their footprints. I say it was worth the pain!

 

[trihkal]

Oh my gosh I love it.

 

[mamarat]

Oh I love that, it looks like a ghost rat on your shoulder. Sooo cool.

Not gonna lie - that tat brought tears to my eyes. Looks like you have a well-loved rattie spirit hanging out on your shoulder.

Edit: Oh drat, mamarat beat me to the punch! :lol:

Next of Skin, down by Frenchmans Bay (very end of liverpool rd at the lake.)
She got it done by Darryl, but Tyler is amazing as well - his wait list is just VERY long.

[Godmother]

[Scythe]

Thank you guys I'll definitely post a picture when it's all healed up. I love it so much, haha.

Haha, before mia9_28 showed me that, I was actually telling my sister I was thinking of getting Bobo's pawprints (if I can get them, lol) accompanied by his name on my shoulder! But smaller prints and no tail. xD Then I was also thinking of getting it behind my neck, like between my shoulder blades seeing as he loves sleeping in my hood of my hoodies, but I already have a bear paw on my right shoulder blade, so it would looked packed. xD

ANYWAYS! All that to say, what a coincidence and GREAT TATTOO!!! I absolutely LOVE it!
And yes, DO post picture when it's all healed up!
