So today I spent 3 hours getting work done, and finally the Dragonscript tattoo is a reality! It looks amazing. So different from the original plan, but that's half the fun is seeing the design change and evolve.
On Thursday night Tasha sent me a new design she'd thought of with the banner wrapped around a chinese dragon, which, while it looks amazing, did not include the rose and skull. This morning when I arrived at the shop I was presented with two ideas, one keeping the dragon with it holding the skull and the rose, and another without the dragon, with the banner wrapped around a large rose, the stem of which pierces a skull. Well, I went for the second of the two and this is the result:
Formatting pictures on this blog can be a pain. But you can see the angles so that's what matters. I am so happy with this one, and it even featured on Tasha's instagram, which is quite an honour! Lovely to finally have a colour tattoo, and the removal of the dragon has left me with a want of a chinese dragon.... Maybe wrapped around my wrist? All I know right now is my arm hurts. The wrist was especially painful to have done, although now doesn't hurt at all. In roughly 90 minutes I'll be removing the cling film to let it breath and wash it, before covering it again before bed... Tomorrow the cling film comes off again for good and then starts the slow healing process. With it, the desire for more ink. I'm sure I'll get some more in the coming months. I should draw out some designs and post them here. Expect poorly drawn designs!
