I will ask him about that. For the lady that asked how it turned out, when I had posted this thread, it was Saturday morning [my time] so next weekend.. means the one coming up. I have a week to learn more to scare me. lol
I know it's going to hurt, any of you that know me, know I am very bony, especially my ankles and wrists. On the upside though, I have nerve damage on the right side of my upper body so I don't quite feel as much pain on that side, but there is plenty of sensation left to make me squeel like a baby.
I am prescribed PK's for my shoulder/back when my scapula gets 'dislodged'.. I wonder if popping one of those before hand would help? [no blood thinners or APAP added to it]
I have plenty of scars, I would embrace it if it wasn't so horrible looking. I have always loved Cherry Blossoms, so what is the worse thing that could happen? I don't fall totally in love with that art... nothing could be worse than the franken-scar.
I just instantly knew what image I wanted a tat of, there was no thought process involved, did you guys think about it and bounce different ideas around or did you gravitate towards one specific thing like I did?
Lastly.... if you google cherry blossom tattoos you will find a bunch of torso tats, I'm getting one that is about 1/20th the size similar to the delicate one with the lady that had her pants turned down wearing white lace panties... again, mine is going to be so tiny compared to hers. My wrist is only 7 inches in diameter, so downscaling is an understatement.
all of your comments are welcomed, thank you. My first one, I am obviously nervous about it.
As for the one that told me to spend the money on therapy, I did, my shrink is Japanese, he loved the idea of the cherry blossom.
OH AND NOT SURE IF THIS MATTERS- before I made the decision to go ahead and do it, I ordered these cheap, ugly fake tattoos and wore them around for a few months to get used to having something right there, in my face 24/7 and I didn't mind it at all, I kind of liked it.
