Oblique tattoo, session 1

That was five hours of work right there. Five excruciatingly painful hours of work.

Now that it's settled in, I am thinking of some small tweaks I want when I go in for a touch-up.

#1 is that the medallions are a bit too far out front. They look... not connected or something. We changed the medallion element the day of (I had not seen the artwork prior), and so I think there needs to be something else in that space around the medallions that make them look more cradled by the mehndi-styled leaves. It's not going to matter at all for the photoshoot. In pants/ costuming, only half of the top medallion will peek over my clothing. But, you know, for the future.

#2 is that we're going to go over my old tattoo, clean up the lines, add color, and overall make it look like it coordinates better with the new one. That one almost never peeks out over my costuming line (since my belt usually sits up a bit in the back), so again, a non-issue for the photoshoot. So I'll probably get tweaks done in early November.

But other than that? JESUS those Stargazers are pretty!
