Sooo excited! And kind of nervous! This morning in the shower I was like "This is the last morning EVER that I'll have a shower before work and see my leg completely bare" hahaha I'm weird like that
My brother informed me that we have the whole morning booked (If mine is done early, my brother is going to get one too). The guy is 3 hours from here though, so we're going to have to leave by 6 am!

Well we got pushed to the afternoon so we haven't left yet! Actually my brother told me yesterday that we would be leaving NOW but he went out last night and I didn't even hear him come home. He hasn't gotten up yet, his truck isn't here, and his friend's shoes are also at the front door I'm gonna go knock on his door so we can leave!
Oh and I decided on colors FOR SURE this time! The background "northern lights" lines I want to match the blue in my back tattoo, then the stars dark pink on the edges and fading into white in the middle, and the little star things just dark pink outlines That's my idea but I'll see what the tattoo artist wants to do about it! I'm so excited! I'll post pics tonight!!!

Hey girls I'm back!
The tattoo wasn't as painful as I expected! He wanted to make it a bit bigger than my sketch (I was thinking smaller) but it looks great. He went with pale blue and purple for the background, and then pink stars. He also slanted it so it starts right behind my hip, then curls down and around the front of my leg where it stops (about halfway down my thigh). The part on and behind my hip were so painful! The rest was okay, but the bottom in the front was a little painful too. I will post pics in a couple of hours when I can take the bandage off! Oh and he was so great to be with, the shop was so laid back and relaxed. He talked to me the whole time and there was a little tv up there for me to watch. Actually right before I got it, we all went out for lunch. I feel SO exhausted right now! My adrenaline was pumping for an hour and then there was a 3 hour ride home and I'm just BLAH. I'm excited to look at it again though! Oh and the best part? He opened that tattoo shop in 1985, and has trained almost every tattoo artist in this province. You'd think he'd be expensive! My little maybe 4-inch wide lower back tattoo cost me $120 from one of his trainees. So I was expecting this one to be a lot more, especially with his experience and his awards! I asked how much I owe, and he said "How's $120? Does that soud fair to you?" I am DEFINITELY going to him for any more tattoos I get! It was an awesome experience!

Pictures!
Here are the pics! I'm stupid and I put the cream stuff on it after washing and BEFORE taking a picture, so they're shiny! I tried to not use flash for one and there's no glare but it's kind of blurry and dark. I love that he didn't use black to outline any of it! It all just looks very soft and flowy

Thanks He told me that since the purple is so pale it's going to look dull for a couple of days but it'll start to look better and pop out more as it heals

I replied before I saw that there already are pix. It's so beautiful! It is soft and Ilove the curve and the size and the colors too. You're right. He's really really talented.
I'm so happy for you.
