I have been wanting this particular piece for almost 5 years now, so to finally have it is just wonderful!
I had my kids baby foot prints (the ones from the hospital printed the day they were born) tattooed on top of my foot.
As many know I have a freakishly high pain tolerance, so the fact that a "normal" person would think that a tattoo on the top of your foot would hurt was not the case for me. If I had to describe the feeling I would say it felt like someone poking my foot with a needle for 40 minutes, seriously once the artist was done my foot felt tingly like it had been sunburned!
I think the artist was surprised too, the part that was most annoying was when the dates were done, for outlining or writing they use less needles than the shading. The artist kept saying are you ok?
I was texting my bff Amy and posting on facebook what was happening...when it was done the artist said ok and I said "WoW that was fast"
I was pleased with the way that it turned out just as I had imagined it. The other nice thing is that they are the exact size, the artist did not have to shrink down in order to fit on my foot....
I was especially happy that the detail was so clear on the tattoo, as I look at my foot compared to the actual prints they match perfectly as if the prints were originally stamped on my foot!
I had the kids birthdays added beneath each print!
As with the sun that is on my right foot (that was done years ago)my new ink is completely original and no one else will have the same one....
What do you think?
