I had my calves done last year. Worse than I was expecting!!
I'm thinking about something on the shin now, have you done that? I didn't think the calf was bad at all, more tickley than painful.
yikes I’m hoping the latter… Although it’s a maxi piece not a mini.

I was torn between Stories and Ink and Tattoo Goo. Went with the box set of TG and have found it great. Started with the wash, then the balm and now using the moisturiser. No loss of colour to my Swallow, healed very well. Happy with it.

Lower leg 90% finished now.

Infilling upper leg then I’m officially finished with 20 odd years of being inked.

It’s an 80’s Geiger counter.

My leg is made up of a series of images I took when I was last in Chernobyl.

Geiger counter, didn't the symbol on the side give it away? laugh

Started today and another session booked mid March for colour and rest of shading. Right leg from knee to heel. Calf was easy. Back if knee tickled! Side of leg not so much fun with the outline but shading fine. Embracing crazy cat lady life.

I had some hand poked tattoos done on Valentine’s Day. What a revelation! Such an enjoyable experience. Really different feeling altogether than being tattooed with a machine. Probably not a good thing as now want more hehe

Back in a few weeks for the colour and rest of my Tiger which has already healed. Have decided to have my shin done and incorporate the dragon on upper part of leg in to an entire traditional Japanese leg sleeve.

Also proper excited for my portrait with Kyle in May. He’s just tattooed Jake Paul after Charlie Sloth gave him a challenge. Unfortunately I’m not being paid £250k to get mine done.

Not like be to be conservative. So gentle and relaxing. This is fresh so will fade out a fair bit. Was like being tickled. Few hours on my leg tomorrow night is going to be tough compared to this.

I accept you obviously love your dog but honestly, a great big tattoo of it on your arm looks dreadful chief

The actual tattoo itself is well drawn, for me it's just a bad choice. Just a bit naff.

But, each to their own bodywork
